Editing New Objectivity (section)

==Literature==
The primary characteristic of New Objective literature was its political perspective on reality.<ref>Stoehr 2001, p. 99</ref> It renders [[dystopia]]s, in a non-sentimental, emotionless reporting style, with precision of detail and veneration for "the fact". The works were seen to provide a rejection to humanism, a refusal to play the game of art as utopia, a negation of art as [[escapism]], and a palpable cynicism about humanity.<ref>Beaumont 2010, p. 151</ref> Authors associated with New Objectivity literature included [[Alfred Döblin]], [[Hans Fallada]], [[Irmgard Keun]], [[Erich Kästner]], and, in [[Afrikaans literature]], Abraham Jonker, the father of poet [[Ingrid Jonker]].
