Beskrivning
Through its focus on audiences and their reception of media in Nazi Germany, Audiences of Nazism inverts the typical top-down perspective employed in studies that concentrate on the regime’s regulation of media and propaganda. It thereby sheds new light on the complex character of the period’s media, their uses, and the scope for audience interpretation. Contributors investigate how consumers either appropriated or ignored certain messages of Nazi propaganda, and how some even participated in its production. The authors ground their studies on novel historical sources, including private diaries and letters, photographs and films, and concert programs, which demonstrate, amongst other things, how audiences interpreted and responded to regulated news, Nazi Party rallies, and the regime’s denunciation of modern works of art as ‘degenerate.’

Recensioner i media

“Given the significance of ideological penetration for explaining the Third Reich, it should make essential reading not just for specialists of Nazi media and propaganda. The individual chapters are succinct and focused but feel accessible to readers unfamiliar with their topics.” • Monatshefte, Vol. 117, No. 4“This is an excellent collection. Its clearly stated project is to revisit and revise existing historical accounts of media audiences and media consumption in Nazi Germany. The book presents a range of high calibre contributions, with much new and original research, and all offering innovative perspectives on the relation between media consumption, National Socialist political culture, and social and cultural life in Nazi Germany.” • Erica Carter, Kings College London
