Sex after Fascism : Memory and Morality in Twentieth-Century Germany
性和其他種類的政治之間有什麼關係?很少有社會像納粹德國那樣迫切或令人不安地提出這個難題。納粹主義的性政治究竟是什麼?他們對每個人都是壓制性的,還是某些個人和團體給予性許可,而其他人則遭到迫害、折磨和殺害?我們如何理解戰後對納粹主義性政治的解釋演變?我們如何看待1960年代至今的學者經常聲稱第三帝國是“性敵對”的事實?針對這些問題和其他問題,“法西斯主義之後的性”從根本上重新回顧了二十世紀德國歷史中的中心議題。除其他外,它改變了我們理解納粹政權的巨大民眾訴求和反猶太主義的性質,基督教在鞏固西方法西斯保守主義中的作用,1960年代至1970年代的反文化反叛以及東德共產主義政府與公民之間的談判。
從第三帝國的性政治新解釋開始,到德國過去由共產主義崩潰促成的修正結束,“法西斯主義後的性”審視了資本主義和共產主義;快樂和國家政策,宗教復興和世俗化趨勢的緊密交織的歷史。二十世紀德國的性態度和習俗的歷史,調查諸如避孕、色情和性取向理論等問題。“法西斯之後的性行為”也顯示了德國人把性行為作為管理納粹主義和納粹大屠殺的記憶和遺產的重要場所。
What is the relationship between sexual and other kinds of politics? Few societies have posed this puzzle as urgently, or as disturbingly, as Nazi Germany. What exactly were Nazism's sexual politics? Were they repressive for everyone, or were some individuals and groups given sexual license while others were persecuted, tormented, and killed? How do we make sense of the evolution of postwar interpretations of Nazism's sexual politics? What do we make of the fact that scholars from the 1960s to the present have routinely asserted that the Third Reich was 'sex-hostile'? In response to these and other questions, "Sex after Fascism" fundamentally reconceives central topics in twentieth-century German history. Among other things, it changes the way we understand the immense popular appeal of the Nazi regime and the nature of antisemitism, the role of Christianity in the consolidation of postfascist conservatism in the West, the countercultural rebellions of the 1960s-1970s, as well as the negotiations between government and citizenry under East German communism.
