## An analysis of the resurgent cultural fascination with Nazism since 1989 Why has a fascination with fascism re-emerged after the Cold War? What is its cultural function now, in an era of commemoration? Focusing particularly on the British context, this study offers the first analysis of contemporary popular and literary fiction, film, TV and art exhibitions about Nazis and Nazism. Petra Rau brings this material into dialogue with earlier responses to fascism and demonstrates how, paradoxically, Nazism has been both mediated and mythologised to the extent that it now often replaces a critical engagement with actual, violent history. In 5 thematic chapters on Nazi Noir, Men in Uniform, Vile Bodies, The Good German and Meta-Cinematic Farce, Rau provides close analysis of contemporary novels such as Jason Lutes’ graphic novel series __Berlin__, historical crime fiction by Philip Kerr and others, Robert Harris’ __Fatherland__, Ian McEwan’s __Black Dogs__ and Justin Cartwright’s __The Song Before It Is Sung__; films such as Bryan Singer’s __Valkyrie__ and Quentin Tarantino’s __Inglorious Bastards__; art installations including __Mirroring Evil: Nazi Imagery/Recent Art__, and __Fucking
