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.
