Abstract
This paper outlines new horizons in research on the topic of ‘rural vs. urban’ in the history of reform movements in the first half of the 20th century. The German version of the ‘Garden City’ originated in a context characterised by anti-urban and anti-modern perspectives opposed to scientist and positivist legacies at the endof the 19th century. In the diversified cultural milieu of Munich and Berlin,feminism, eugenics and vanguard alternative movements provided a new image ofthe ‘return to the soil’ as a sacralisation of nature.File in questo prodotto:
