(real time availability for all sections)

This interdisciplinary course explores the fascist-era cinemas of Germany, Spain, Italy, and Japan — from comedies to cartoons to good old fascist spectacles.

After an initial sequence devoted to the definition of terms and summary of basic history, the course focuses on both commonalities and specificities of these four fascist cinemas.

The themes include propaganda, entertainment and pleasure, the body, spectacle, blood and race, memory, and violence.

Consideration will be given to contemporary forms of moving image culture reminiscent of the fascist moment, ranging from neo-Nazi websites to fundamentalist videos on YouTube.
