Les cròniques berlineses d'Eugeni Xammar. L'escriptor català i la cultura de masses

Abstract

Eugeni Xammar was the Berlin correspondent for newspapers La Veu de Catalunya and La Publicitat from 1922 to 1924 and for Ahora from 1930 to 1936. The Catalan journalist witnessed the events that determined the failure of the Weimar Republic and which, eventually, brought Hitler to power. This article analyzes Eugeni Xammar's intellectual condition from his discussion of these historical episodes and also from his follow-up on the increasingly decisive power of aesthetics and language of propaganda.
