Staging Fascism - 18bl and the Theater of Masses for Masses

Informationen zum Autor Jeffrey T. Schnapp is Professor of Italian and Comparative Literature at Stanford. Klappentext The book describes how the spectacle arose amidst the theoretical debates unleashed by Mussolini's speech; how it was able to put itself forward as a solution to anxieties regarding the inadequacy of fascist culture. Zusammenfassung On an April evening in Florence in 1934, before 20,000 spectators, the mass spectacle "18BL" was presented. This is the story of the event, a colossal failure to critics and spectators alike, which the fascist government took pains to expunge from the annals of the regime.
