| Summary |
Why has a fascination with fascism re-emerged after the Cold War? What is its cultural function now, in an era of commemoration? Focusing particularly on the British context this study offers an analysis of contemporary popular and literary fiction, film, TV and art exhibitions about Nazis and Nazism. Petra Rau brings this material into dialogue with earlier responses to fascism and demonstrates how paradoxically, Nazism has been both mediated and mythologised to the extent that it now often replaces engagement with actual violent history. |
