Culture and legitimacy

Erica Carter, Mary Vincent

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingChapter

Abstract

This chapter appears in a co-authored volume by a research team on legitimacy that worked within a 2000-2005 European Science Foundation Programme on the Impact of National-Socialist and Fascist Occupation in Europe. I was co-opted to the team by the book's editors to co-author a chapter on culture and legitimacy with Mary Vincent. The chapter draws on primary sources that I consulted on a British Academy-funded trip to German Federal archives; on research in the Anne Frank House, Amsterdam; and on my previous research on Third Reich film and popular culture. Secondary literary from political theory, political science, psychoanalysis, political and cultural history and theory is further used to frame an account of consent and dissent within the lived experience of politics under occupied rule.
