Topic for Fall 2020: Fascism and Nazism Seventy-five years after its formal demise in Central Europe, fascism continues to be an operative term in current political discourse. This course examines the history and politics of fascism in Italy, Germany, and other national contexts from Brazil to Japan. We begin with basic concepts and debates on fascism and explore a range of topics, including political and intellectual origins, the mobilization of cultural, gender, and racial difference, as well as the radical deployment of violence. In addition to reading recent scholarship on fascism, we will consider fascist art, propaganda and film. (E, G&C) Attributes: GER Humanities Div, 200-399 Foundation/Gateway Crs
