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.>
