Mi sono così ritrovata a chiedermi perché piacesse a così tanta gente, un cosiddetto capolavoro, almeno per i giovani. Forse perdi colpi, mi sono detta. È un film disturbante, 31 angoscioso e disperato, psicologicamente violento, che legittima l’uso delle armi e sdogana l’idea di farsi giustizia da soli, che prende un giovane traumatizzato e borderline, e ne fa prima un assassino 24 e poi l’eroe collettivo di un mondo distopico, degradato e marce- scente, tra cumuli di spazzatura e eserciti di topi, un po’ Arancia Meccanica un po’ Taxi Driver del XXI secolo. La verità è che Joker piace così tanto perché parla di noi, parla al nostro disagio, piace perché è un prodigioso apologo politico e perché fornisce, meglio 16 di decine di ponderosi saggi, una spiegazione dell’origine possibile di ogni moderna dittatura, di ogni fascismo, allorquando questi incontrano la tempesta perfetta, ovvero la saldatura tra patologia psichica, mental desease, e disagio sociale, proprio come accadde con l’avvento del nazionalsocialismo di Hitler negli anni Trenta, quando sta per avere inizio la ferocia in forma di delirio collettivo, di “sete di abominio”. Questo film piace perché parla alla nostra difficoltà di vivere in un mondo che assiste a periodici sacrifici umani in forma di stragi tributate al dio del massacro.

  • Palimpsest World: the Serpentine Trail of Roy Frankhouser from the SWP, the KKK, and the “Knights of Malta” to Far Beyond the Grassy Knoll1
    1 Palimpsest World: The Serpentine Trail of Roy Frankhouser from the SWP, the KKK, and the “Knights of Malta” to Far Beyond the Grassy Knoll1 Introduction In the summer of 1987 the National Caucus of Labor Committees (NCLC) submitted a document in a legal action that attempted to prove that Roy Frankhouser, a well-known KKK member and Lyndon LaRouche‘s longtime paid ―security consultant,‖ was highly connected inside the CIA. The document, ―Attachment 2,‖ began: During 1974-75, Roy Frankhauser [sic], claiming to be working on behalf of the CIA, established contact with the NCLC. In approximately June 1975, Frankhauser submitted to three days of intensive debriefings, during which time he provided details of his employment with the National Security Council on a special assignment to penetrate a Canada-based cell of the Palestinian terrorist Black September organization, and other aspects of his CIA career dating back to his involvement in the Bay of Pigs.2 Frankhauser said he served as the ―babysitter‖ for [Mario] Garcia- Kholy [sic], one of the Brigade leaders who was to have a high government post in a post-Castro Cuba.3 Subsequently, NCLC researchers found a brief reference in PRAVDA citing a 1962 expulsion of one ―R. Frankhauser‖ from a low-level post at the U.S. Embassy in Moscow on charges that he was spying.4 The NCLC reference to a ―R. Frankhauser‖ being in Moscow in 1962 as somehow relevant evidence that Roy E. Frankhouser was working for the CIA suggests just how much we have entered the Mad Hatter‘s World.

This article argues that during the 1970s, Klan organizers transformed a reactionary counter-movement that had failed to preserve white supremacy by terrorizing civil rights organizers and black citizens, into a revolutionary white power movement that inculpated Jews and the federal government.4 It describes how these organizers

  • The Representation of the Ku Klux Klan in Mainstream American Cinema (1988-2016)
    The Representation of the Ku Klux Klan in Mainstream American Cinema (1988-2016) Thesis Submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy at the University of Leicester by Philip Wintle MA, AFHEA Department of History of Art and Film University of Leicester September 2019 Phil Wintle The Representation of the Ku Klux Klan in Mainstream American Cinema (1988- 2016) The Ku Klux Klan are America’s most notorious terrorist organisation. In the 1920s membership to the Klan numbered several million, partly resulting from the success of The Birth of a Nation (1915). In this period of Klan popularity, Hollywood utilised their iconography for box office success. In the contemporary age Klan membership has diminished, yet the Klan image continues to be regularly depicted in American film. My research assesses the function of the Klan in contemporary cinema, looking at their representation between 1988 and 2016 to explain the longevity of their depiction in a period of social irrelevance. The shifting representation of the Klan offers a unique case study in demonstrating the changing attitudes Hollywood has to race and racism. In this thesis, I argue that the Klan have been used in films to paradoxically downplay issues of racism. In the 1980s and 1990s, the Klan were presented as a white ‘Other’ to whom racism is isolated. This ‘Othering’ drives melodramatic narratives of white conflict in films such as Mississippi Burning (1988) and A Time to Kill (1996). The melodramatic simplicity of the Klan image is later accentuated in comedy films between 1999 and 2013. The comedic depiction of the Klan has often been ignored in existing literature on the Klan’s representation in film; this is a significant oversight, as comedy has kept the Klan image within public consciousness during this period.
