VISIONS
OF
VIENNA
Pabst.
Lubitsch
mobilizes
the
mise-en-scène
of
Vienna
and
the
operetta
plot
to
(comically)
negotiate
and
comment
upon
issues
of
consumerism,
gender,
and
sexuality
at
a
time
when
changing
gender
relations
initiated
public
debates
about
the
idea
of
the
so-called
new
companionate
marriage,
the
meaning
of
the
‘New
Woman’,
and
her
status
as
a
consumer
within
urban
society.
I
also
point
out
that
the
operetta,
a
most
important
part
of
popular
mass
culture
in
turn-of-the-century
Vienna,
was,
to
a
large
extent,
created
by
Jewish
authors.
Hence,
I
argue
that
by
drawing
on
the
Viennese
operetta
as
an
important
source
for
his
films,
Lubitsch
very
much
participated
in
a
‘Jewish’
world
and
its
sensibilities.
I
further
open
up
the
possibility
of
understanding
the
quintessential
markers
of
the
operetta
genre—role
play,
make-believe,
and
the
masquerade—as
important
elements
that
reflect
the
Jewish
experience
of
assimilation
and
of
adapting
to
a
dominant
(Catholic)
culture.
And
again,
it
is
the
figure
of
the
Viennese
girl
through
which
all
these
issues
are
brought
into
focus.
