The Berlin Journal features a stimulating range of original articles, opinion pieces, fiction, and poetry, offering a taste of the American Academy’s vibrant intellectual life and the varied pursuits of its fellows, visitors, trustees, and friends. Handsomely designed and illustrated, the 64-page, four-color magazine is available in both a print edition and online as a pdf.
In the Journal's pages you will find US Supreme Court Justice Stephen Breyer lamenting the Dred Scott decision of 1857, Frances Fitzgerald on America's Christian Right, Diane McWhorter on Werner von Braun, and Daniel Mendelsohn on the search for a lost uncle, in addition to intelligent policy analysis by eminent figures such as Josef Joffe, Richard Holbrooke, Stephen Biddle, and Dennis Ross, among others. Recent contributors also include Harvey Mansfield on the Greek notion of thumos, Mary Sarotte on the tense evening hours of November 9, 1989, Leora Auslander on the historian's craft, and the visual work of Olafur Eliasson, Collier Schorr, Mitch Epstein, Anselm Kiefer, Matthias Hoch, and Walton Ford, among many others.
“On The Waterfront,” a newsletter at the center of each issue of the Berlin Journal, includes profiles of current fellows, news from the board of trustees and Academy community, updates on events and development, recent selections from the German press, and a list of recent alumni publications, among other features.
All back issues of the Berlin Journal are available as PDF files below. The Fall 2010 issue, No. Nineteen, is available for download as of the first week of September 2010.
