In Deutschland wie in Italien stellte sich der Faschismus als Aufbruch in eine neue Zeit und zugleich als Wiedergeburt einer zeitlosen Nation dar, welche durch die bürgerlich-liberale Ordnung verschüttet worden war. Die Aviatik wurde zum Sinnbild des Aufbruchs sowie des Aufstiegs einer vermeintlich ewigen Ordnung und der Flieger zu dem ihr entsprechenden Neuen Menschen. Fernando Esposito liest die Aviatik als Metapher des Faschismus selbst und legt den faschistischen Entwurf einer mythischen und dennoch genuin modernen Moderne offen. "10 VOR 11" auf RTL, 27.6.11 - Alexander Kluge im Gespräch mit Fernando Esposito. Die Moderne im 20. Jahrhundert entsteht auf zwei ganz verschiedenen Seiten: aus dem Projekt der Aufklärung und aus der 'Sehnsucht nach Ordnung'. In beiden Fällen, vor allem aber bei der Sehnsucht nach Ordnung, verschränken sich Mythos und Moderne. Der Zeitgeschichtler Fernando Esposito, London und Universität Tübingen, untersucht diese Frage sowohl für die Hochkunst wie in der massenhaften Populärkultur. Man versteht die Moderne schlecht, sagt er, wenn man die Linie der 'konservativen Umstürzler' auslässt. Das Idol, gleichzeitig für Mythos und Moderne, ist der homo volans, der fliegende Mensch, das Bild des Ikarus, der stürzt und wiederaufersteht. Die Futuristen sind nicht begriffen, wenn man sie bloß unter dem Faschismus subsumiert. Das Vertrauen in die Aufwärtsbewegung des Fliegens findet sich bei dem Aufklärer und analytischen Geist Aby Warburg ebenso wie bei Marinetti oder schon auf der Flugschau in Brescia 1909. "Gebt mir die Zukunft und ich werde die Welt bewegen! Fernando Esposito über die Verschränkung von Mythos und Moderne im 20. Jahrhundert".

People often associate postwar Germany with technology and with its products of mass consumption, such as luxury cars. Even pop music, most notably Kraftwerk (literally 'power station') with songs such as Autobahn, Radioactivity or We are the Robots, disseminates the stereotype of a close link between German culture and technology. Technology in Modern German History explores various forms of technology in 200 years of German history and explains how technology has been fundamental to the shaping of modern Germany. The book investigates the role technology played in transforming Germany's culture, society and politics during the 19th and 20th centuries. Key topics covered include the different stages of industrialization, the growth of networked cities, and the triumph of a teleological narrative of technology as progress. Moreover, it provides a critical revision of the history of high technology which reveals how high-tech euphoria determined certain paths in history regardless of whether the respective technology proved to be successful. In its second part, the volume introduces new avenues in scholarship. Karsten Uhl examines neglected areas, such as rural technologies or the often-overlooked importance of everyday technologies: How did consumers or workers use new technologies? How did they appropriate and modify them? Lastly, the book considers the final decades of the 20th century and asks if they provided a significant new quality of technological change: To what degree and effects did computerization transform professional and private life in Germany? In culture and politics, reinforced by the German variety of environmentalism, the idea of progress was challenged, as the once prevailing vision of progress gave way to new apprehensions of uncertainty evident to this day. Technology in Modern German History brings fascinating insight into a much neglected area of German history for students and scholars alike.

Myth in the Modern Novel: Imagining the Absolute posits a twofold thesis. First, although Modernity is regarded as an era dominated by science and rational thought, it has in fact not relinquished the hold of myth, a more "primitive" form of thought which is difficult to reconcile with modern rationality. Second, some of the most important statements as to the reconcilability of myth and Modernity are found in the work of certain prominent novelists. This book offers a close examination of the work of eleven writers from the late eighteenth century to the beginning of the twenty-first, representing German, French, American, Czech and Swedish literature. The analyses of individual novels reveal a variety of intriguing views of myth in Modernity, and offer an insight into the "modernizing" transformations myth has undergone when applied in the modern novel. The study shows the presence of the "subconscious", the mythic layer, in modern western culture and how this has been dealt with in novelistic literature.

With The Modern Myths, brilliant science communicator Philip Ball spins a new yarn. From novels and comic books to B-movies, it is an epic exploration of literature, new media and technology, the nature of storytelling, and the making and meaning of our most important tales. Myths are usually seen as stories from the depths of time—fun and fantastical, but no longer believed by anyone. Yet, as Philip Ball shows, we are still writing them—and still living them—today. From Robinson Crusoe and Frankenstein to Batman, many stories written in the past few centuries are commonly, perhaps glibly, called “modern myths.” But Ball argues that we should take that idea seriously. Our stories of Dracula, Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, and Sherlock Holmes are doing the kind of cultural work that the ancient myths once did. Through the medium of narratives that all of us know in their basic outline and which have no clear moral or resolution, these modern myths explore some of our deepest fears, dreams, and anxieties. We keep returning to these tales, reinventing them endlessly for new uses. But what are they really about, and why do we need them? What myths are still taking shape today? And what makes a story become a modern myth? In The Modern Myths, Ball takes us on a wide-ranging tour of our collective imagination, asking what some of its most popular stories reveal about the nature of being human in the modern age.

The essays in this book concern manifestations of political violence in the democracies of interwar Europe. While research in this area usually focuses on the countries that fell to fascism, the authors demonstrate that violence remained a part of political competition in the democratic regimes of Western Europe too.

First collected volume dealing with the use of Latin under Fascism This book deals with the use of Latin as a literary and epigraphic language under Italian Fascism (1922–1943). The myth of Rome lay at the heart of Italian Fascist ideology, and the ancient language of Rome, too, played an important role in the regime’s cultural politics. This collection deepens our understanding of ‘Fascist Latinity’, presents a range of previously little-known material, and opens up a number of new avenues of research. The chapters explore the pivotal role of Latin in constructing a link between ancient Rome and Fascist Italy; the different social and cultural contexts in which Latin texts functioned in the ventennio fascista; and the way in which ‘Fascist Latinity’ relied on, and manipulated, the ‘myth of Rome’ of late nineteenth- and early twentieth-century Italy.

Nazis, fascists and völkisch conservatives in different European countries not only cooperated internationally in the fields of culture, science, economy, and persecution of Jews, but also developed ideas for a racist and ethno-nationalist Europe under Hitler. The present volume attempts to combine an analysis of Nazi Germany’s transnational relations with an evaluation of the discourse that accompanied these relations.
