Abstrakt

Nazi propaganda and its use of gendered images changes substantially between 1933 and 1945, i. e. poses the question of how "fascist aesthetics" could actually be defined. The theatricalization of Volk and Führer during National Socialism shifts from soldier-like mass reenactments of the Nazi takeover and the respective use of speaking choirs to mute mass ornaments performed by school girls and finally to the feminine allegorization of the Volksgemeinschaft in film. Since the later formats of Nazi propaganda are often dismissed, their slight aesthetic correspondence to personalizations of memory politics are sometimes overlooked today. However, at the same time there are performative interventions into public discourse by activists that underline the necessity of remembering the nameless and counter official memory politics. Linking the recent discussion on refugees to German history, these activists are calling for a revision of current border politics in Europe and our notion of human rights that could be read as a new form of feminist politics.
