Abstract

In this article, I will discuss how my own work on a project called "Hypermedia Berlin"-a Web-based study of Berlin's "cultural geography"-can be situated in a lineage that goes back to Hoffmann's reflection on media and represents another instantiation of what Hinrich Seeba has called "Berlin" as a site for the development of new cultural-critical methodologies for interdisciplinary German Studies.13
