Author: ERIN G. CARLSTON
Title: Thinking Fascism. Sapphic Modernism and Fascist Modernity
Description: Stanford University Press, 1998. Linnen band met stofomslag. Pp: 217. Until recently, much theoretical work on fascism has represented fascist thought as radically different from and inimical to non-fascist thought, and feminist criticism has further assumed that women intellectuals—especially the sexually marginal women sometimes grouped as the "Sapphic Modernists"—were necessarily antagonistic to fascist ideologies. In contrast, the author argues that Western intellectuals of both genders and all political persuasions were preoccupied in the 1930's with the commodification of culture and sexuality, the erasure of liberal bourgeois concepts of the individual and the work of art in mass society, and the failure of social institutions to provide transcendence and immediacy in the face of these transformations. By demonstrating that women writers like the Sapphic Modernists and conservative or fascist male modernists often articulated very similar conceptions of these problems, this book suggests that fascism cannot be posed as the absolute other of non- or even anti-fascist politico-cultural discourses in the interwar period. ISBN: 9780804730884. Cond./Kwaliteit: Goed.
