This includes a brilliant line-up of international contributors
that examine the implications of the portrayals of Nazis in
low-brow culture and that culture's re-emergence today.
"Nazisploitation!" examines past intersections of National
Socialism and popular cinema and the recent reemergence of this
imagery in contemporary visual culture. In the late 1960s and early
1970s, films such as "Love Camp 7" and "Ilsa, She-Wolf of the SS"
introduced and reinforced the image of Nazis as master paradigms of
evil in what film theorists deem the "sleaze" film. More recently,
Tarantino's "Inglourious Basterds", as well as video games such as
"Call of Duty: World at War", have reinvented this iconography for
new audiences. In these works, the violent Nazi becomes the
hyperbolic caricature of the "monstrous feminine" or the masculine
sadist. Power-hungry scientists seek to clone the Fuhrer, and Nazi
zombies rise from the grave. The history, aesthetic strategies, and
political implications of such translations of National Socialism
into the realm of commercial, low brow, and "sleaze" visual culture
are the focus of this book. The contributors examine when and why
the Nazisploitation genre emerged as it did, how it establishes and
violates taboos, and why this iconography resonates with
contemporary audiences.
