Beskrivning
This provocative and unique anthology analyzes Quentin Tarantino's controversial Inglourious Basterds in the contexts of cinema, cultural, gender, and historical studies. The film and its ideology is dissected by a range of scholars and writers who take on the director's manipulation of metacinema, Nazisploitation, ethnic stereotyping, gender roles, allohistoricism, geopolitics, philosophy, language, and memory. In this collection, the eroticism of the club-swinging and avenging "Bear Jew," the dashed heroism of the "role-playing" French and German females, the patriotic fools and pawns, the amoral yokel, Lieutenant Aldo Raine, and the cosmopolitan, but psychopathic Colonel Landa, are understood for their true functions in what has become an iconoclastic pop-culture phenomenon and one of the classics of early twenty-first century American cinema. Additionally, the book examines the use of "foreign" languages (subverting English and image), the allegory of Austria's identity in the war, and the particularly French and German cinematic influences, such as R. W. Fassbinder's realignment of the German woman's film and the iconic image of the German film star in Inglourious Basterds.

Recensioner i media

In Inglourious Basterds, Quentin Tarantino "might just have made his masterpiece." Equal parts (allo-)history and Jewish revenge fantasy, a high-minded paean to cinema's power to change the world and a grind-core splatterfest, the film will always be controversial. Now Robert von Dassanowsky has assembled a team of scholars to give Basterds what it has lacked up to now: a rigorous intellectual analysis representing the best trends in modern scholarship and film criticism. Containing tightly written essays that roam widely over areas of culture, gender, semiotics, and memory, this volume will be indispensable to students of film, war, and the intersection between the two. -- Robert M. Citino, author of Death of the Wehrmacht (2007) and Associate Professor of History at the University of North Texas
