Some of us . often asked her how she could possibly have friends who were Jews or who had a Jewish background, when everything she read and distributed seemed to breathe hate against us and our ancestors. “Of course, they don’t mean you,” she would explain earnestly. “You are a good German. It’s those other Jews . who betrayed Germany that Hitler wants to remove from influence.” When Hitler actually came to power and the word went out that students of Jewish background were to be isolated, that “Aryan” Germans were no longer to associate with “non-Aryans” . Ruth actually came around and apologized to those of us to whom she was no longer able to talk.

  • Upholding the Disney Utopia Through American Tragedy: a Study of the Walt Disney Company’S Responses to Pearl Harbor and 9/11
    Upholding the Disney Utopia Through American Tragedy: A Study of The Walt Disney Company's Responses to Pearl Harbor and 9/11 Lindsay Goddard Senior Thesis presented to the faculty of the American Studies Department at the University of California, Davis March 2021 Abstract Since its founding in October 1923, The Walt Disney Company has en- dured as an influential preserver of fantasy, traditional American values, and folklore. As a company created to entertain the masses, its films often provide a sense of escapism as well as feelings of nostalgia. The company preserves these sentiments by \Disneyfying" danger in its media to shield viewers from harsh realities. Disneyfication is also utilized in the company's responses to cultural shocks and tragedies as it must carefully navigate maintaining its family-friendly reputation, utopian ideals, and financial interests. This paper addresses The Walt Disney Company's responses to two attacks on US soil: the bombing of Pearl Harbor in 1941 and the attacks on September 11, 200l and examines the similarities and differences between the two. By utilizing interviews from Disney employees, animated film shorts, historical accounts, insignia, government documents, and newspaper articles, this paper analyzes the continuity of Disney's methods of dealing with tragedy by controlling the narrative through Disneyfication, employing patriotic rhetoric, and reiterat- ing the original values that form Disney's utopian image. Disney's respon- siveness to changing social and political climates and use of varying mediums in its reactions to harsh realities contributes to the company's enduring rep- utation and presence in American culture. 1 Introduction A young Walt Disney craftily grabbed some shoe polish and cardboard, donned his father's coat, applied black crepe hair to his chin, and went about his day to his fifth-grade class.

    Trabajo Fin de Grado LA ACTIVIDAD PROPAGANDÍSTICA DE DISNEY DURANTE LA SEGUNDA GUERRA MUNDIAL DISNEY'S PROPAGANDISTIC ACTIVITY DURING WORLD WAR II Autor NURIA LON ROCA Director Fernando Sanz Ferreruela Facultad Filosofía y Letras. Grado Historia del Arte Año 2019/2020 Resumen: la relevancia de Walt Disney en el panorama cinematográfico es indiscutible pero, alejándonos de su faceta más conocida encontramos unos orígenes vinculados al militarismo y a la Segunda Guerra Mundial en los que se posiciona firmemente. Su propaganda bélica a favor de las democracias europeas se observa en los cortos y películas de la primera mitad del siglo XX así como en su discurso intervencionista y patriótico americano. A través de su producción cinematográfica más relevante se busca poner en valor su posicionamiento directo, e indirecto, en la Segunda Guerra Mundial y las consecuencias que esto tuvo para la mundialmente conocida marca. Palabras clave: cine, propaganda, militarismo, ideología, guerra, Disney y nazismo Abstract: there can be no doubt of relevance of Walt Disney in the film scene but, movin away from its best-know facet, we find origins linked to militarism and the Second Word War in which it is firmly positioned. His war propaganda in favor of European democracies can be seen in the shorts and films of the first half of the 20th century as well as in his intervencionista n patriotic American discourse. Though its most relevant film production, it seeks to hightlight its direct and indirect positioning in the Second Word War and the consequences this had for the Word-famous Brand. Key words: cinema, propaganda, militarism, ideology, War, Disney y nazism 2 A mi tutor, Fernando Sanz, por dedicarme su tiempo, que es lo mejor que alguien te puede regalar.

The federal government has a history of involvement in the formulation and release of propagandistic messages through direct control of the public sector, or influence in the private sector, especially during times of conflict. During World War II the federal government used propaganda conveyed through popular cultural media to create an “us versus them” mentality by releasing information and images that both demonized the enemy and explained the righteousness of the American people and their cause. In doing so, federal officials explicitly and effectively mobilized the population to support the American war effort. Wartime propaganda in the form of radio, film, cartoons, and posters were directly influenced and at times controlled by President Franklin Delano Roosevelt’s administration and federal agencies, like the Office of War Information, created by the exigencies of the conflict.

However, this has not always been the case. For example, during World War II, animations were also produced as instruments for political propaganda as well as educational material for adult audiences. In this thesis, the history of the production of animations in the United States of America will be reviewed, especially as the years of World War II are concerned.

  • 4. the Nazis Take Power
    4. The Nazis Take Power Anyone who interprets National Socialism as merely a political movement knows almost nothing about it. It is more than a religion. It is the determination to create the new man. ADOLF HITLER OVERVIEW Within weeks of taking office, Adolf Hitler was altering German life. Within a year, Joseph Goebbels, one of his top aides, could boast: The revolution that we have made is a total revolution. It encompasses every aspect of public life from the bottom up… We have replaced individuality with collective racial consciousness and the individual with the community… We must develop the organizations in which every individual’s entire life will be regulated by the Volk community, as represented by the Party. There is no longer arbitrary will. There are no longer any free realms in which the individual belongs to himself… The time of personal happiness is over.1 How did Hitler do it? How did he destroy the Weimar Republic and replace it with a totalitarian government – one that controls every part of a person’s life? Many people have pointed out that he did not destroy democracy all at once. Instead, he moved gradually, with one seemingly small compromise leading to another and yet another. By the time many were aware of the danger, they were isolated and alone. This chapter details those steps. It also explores why few Germans protested the loss of their freedom and many even applauded the changes the Nazis brought to the nation. Historian Fritz Stern offers one answer. “The great appeal of National Socialism – and perhaps of every totalitarian dictatorship in this century – was the promise of absolute authority.

  • Film As a Pedagogical Tool for the Teaching and Learning of Social Justice- Orientated Citizenship Education
    Lights, Camera, Civic Action! Film as a pedagogical tool for the teaching and learning of social justice- orientated citizenship education. Daryn Bevan Egan-Simon A thesis submitted to the Department of Education, Edge Hill University, in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy. July 2020 Abstract Citizenship education in England is largely based on a deficit model of young people that positions them as compliant economic subjects rather than active agents of change (Olser and Starkey, 2003; Kisby, 2017; Weinberg and Flinders, 2018). Furthermore, provision for citizenship education has been described as inadequate, ineffective, sterile and lacking in pedagogical innovation (Turner, 2009; Garratt and Piper, 2012; Kerr et al., 2010). This study addresses the question: how can short animated film be used as a pedagogical tool for the teaching and learning of social justice-orientated citizenship education? Within the study, social justice-orientated citizenship education is conceptualised within a framework consisting of four constitutive elements: agency; dialogue; criticality; and emancipatory/ transformative knowledge. As part of the enquiry, a film-based social justice-orientated citizenship education programme (Lights, Camera, Civic Action!) was designed and organically developed with twelve Year 5 children during the Spring, Summer and Autumn Terms of 2018. An intrinsic case study (Stake, 1995; 2005) was employed as the strategy of enquiry with the preferred qualitative methods of data collection being focus group interviews, participant observations and the visual and technical documents created by the children. Thematic Analysis was used as the analytical method for identifying and reporting themes found through the codification of data sets (Braun and Clarke, 2006; Castlebury and Nolen, 2018).

  • Louis Hamilton: a British Scholar in Nazi Germany
    fascism 5 (2016) 177-200 brill.com/fasc Louis Hamilton: A British Scholar in Nazi Germany Grant W. Grams Athabasca University [email protected] Abstract Louis Hamilton (1879–1948) was a British national that lectured at various institutions of higher learning in Berlin from 1904–1914, and 1919–1938. During the Third Reich (1933–1945) Hamilton was accused of being half-Jewish and his continued presence at institutions of higher learning was considered undesirable. Hamilton like other foreign born academics was coerced to leave Germany because the Nazi educational system viewed them as being politically unreliable. Hamilton’s experiences are an illustration of what foreign academics suffered during the Third Reich. The purpose of this article is to shed new light on the fate of foreign academics in Nazi Germany. Although the fate of Jewish professors and students has been researched non-Jewish and non-Aryan instructors has been a neglected topic within the history of Nazism. Keywords fascism – Aryan – foreigners – academics – intimidation – Germany – anti-Semitism – Louis Hamilton (1879–1948) Louis Hamilton (1879–1948) was a British national that had a remarkable career lecturing in Germany during the Kaiser Reich (1871 to 1918), Weimar Republic (1919–1933), and the early stages of the Nazi era (1933–1945). Between the two world wars academics in Europe, North America, private institutions, and the German government cited Hamilton as an authoritative source on Canada.1 1 National Archive of Canada (hereafter nac) c10234 File 307724: North German Lloyd to Egan Department of Immigration and Colonization (hereafter dic), 3 Aug. 1928; nac c10234 File 307724: dic to Egan dic, 21 July, 1927; Bundesarchiv Koblenz (hereafter bak) zsg1– 142–20 1922: Verein für das Deutschtum in Ausland Jahrbuch für 1922, 168; Hermann Wagner, Von Küste zu Küste: Bei deutschen Auswanderer in Kanada (Hamburg: Verlag der Ev.

Las productoras escogidas para la elaboración del análisis son Walt Disney y Warner Bros, debido a la monopolización que ejercían durante esa época dichas productoras dentro del sector cinematográfico y de dibujos animados para la televisión en Estados Unidos. La intención, más allá de descifrar si existieron mensajes persuasivos dentro de los contenidos, se investiga a la vez, de qué manera es generado el discurso narrativo, cómo son utilizados y combinados los diferentes elementos audiovisuales para crear discursos manipulados de adoctrinamiento de masas. Así mismo, aunque en menor medida, también se intenta esclarecer si existieron algún tipo de acuerdos entre el gobierno norteamericano y las productoras a la hora de realizar los contenidos.
