Some time ago, an acquaintance in Los Angeles lent me his copy of The German Issue, a magazine on German culture and politics published by Semiotext(e) in 1982, after I mentioned I'd been researching the Allied Forces' reeducation films at the University of California film archives. I was immediately fascinated: in terms of design, production and choice of texts and images, The German Issue was familiar and foreign at the same time, brand-new yet outdated. Of course, almost any print product forges a link between past and present, but The German Issue seemed to possess some mysterious and direct connection with the present, as if its presence in the here-and-now might be able to influence the past, and vice versa. It gave the impression that if the trails laid by the book on its appearance in 1982 had been followed, the cultural-political climate in reunified Germany would be different. Not a time machine of a magazine, then, but a wormhole.
