DESCRIPTION:In this workshop\, art historian James A. van Dyke (Univer
 sity of Missouri) will discuss the poetics and politics of print adver
 tisements for Shell lubricating oils and gasoline circulated in German
 y between 1930 and 1933\, assessing how the company responded to socia
 l transformation\, economic crisis\, political polarization\, and the 
 explosive success of radical nationalism. This work is part of a proje
 ct that surveys the rapidly expanding visual culture of automobility b
 etween the world wars. Employing the theoretical foundations of the so
 cial history of art and contemporary ecocriticism\, this project situa
 tes the aesthetics of petroculture in the context of Weimar politics a
 nd visual culture.
