{"product_id":"feminism-film-fascism","title":"Feminism, Film, Fascism","description":"\u003cp\u003e German society's inability and\/or refusal to come to terms with its Nazi past has been analyzed in many cultural works, including the well-known books \u003ci\u003eSociety without the Father\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eThe Inability to Mourn\u003c\/i\u003e. In this pathfinding study, Susan Linville challenges the accepted wisdom of these books by focusing on a cultural realm in which mourning for the Nazi past and opposing the patriarchal and authoritarian nature of postwar German culture are central concerns—namely, women's feminist auto\/biographical films of the 1970s and 1980s. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e After a broad survey of feminist theory, Linville analyzes five important films that reflect back on the Third Reich through the experiences of women of different ages—Marianne Rosenbaum's \u003ci\u003ePeppermint Peace\u003c\/i\u003e, Helma Sanders-Brahms's \u003ci\u003eGermany, Pale Mother\u003c\/i\u003e, Jutta Brückner's \u003ci\u003eHunger Years\u003c\/i\u003e, Margarethe von Trotta's \u003ci\u003eMarianne and Juliane\u003c\/i\u003e, and Jeanine Meerapfel's \u003ci\u003eMalou\u003c\/i\u003e. By juxtaposing these films with the accepted theories on German culture, Linville offers a fresh appraisal not only of the films' importance but especially of their challenge to misogynist interpretations of the German failure to grieve for the horrors of its Nazi past. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"University of Texas Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Product","offer_id":54218953556312,"sku":"9780292746978","price":19.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9780292746978__676f025ac0981.jpg?v=1741157802","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/feminism-film-fascism","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
