In Renegotiating French Identity, Jane Fulcher addresses the
question of cultural resistance to the German occupation and Vichy
regime during the Second World War. Nazi Germany famously stressed
music as a marker of national identity and cultural achievement,
but so too did Vichy. From the opera to the symphony, music did not
only serve the interests of Vichy and German propaganda: it also
helped to reveal the motives behind them, and to awaken resistance
among those growing disillusioned by the regime. Using unexplored
Resistance documents, from both the clandestine press and the
French National Archives, Fulcher looks at the responses of
specific artists and their means of resistance, addressing in turn
Pierre Schaeffer, Arthur Honegger, Francis Poulenc, and Olivier
Messiaen, among others. This book investigates the role that music
played in fostering a profound awareness of the cultural and
political differences between conflicting French ideological
positions, as criticism of Vichy and its policies mounted.
