    Copyright 2012 Kevin B. Johnson Annexation Effects: Cultural Appropriation and the Politics of Place in Czech-German Films, 1930-1945 Kevin B. Johnson A dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy University of Washington 2012 Reading Committee: Eric Ames, Chair Richard Gray Sabine Wilke Program Authorized to Offer Degree: Germanics University of Washington Abstract Annexation Effects: Cultural Appropriation and the Politics of Place in Czech-German Films, 1930-1945 Kevin Bradley Johnson Chair of the Supervisory Committee: Associate Professor Eric Ames Department of Germanics The dissertation maps various points of cultural transfer in Czech-German films of the 1930s and 1940s. Specifically, it examines the representation and performance of ethnicity and the layered connections between geographic space, national identity, and mass culture. My work illustrates that Nazi cinema’s appropriation of Czech culture was informed and, more importantly, legitimated by the Austro-Hungarian legacy. This analysis provides a framework for understanding the German film industry’s stake in the Czech lands and its people. The dissertation further demonstrates the peculiar position within the German cinematic imagination occupied by Prague and the Czech territories. At once “familiar” and “foreign,” these cinematic spaces become settings for ethnic confrontation and for the negotiation of German identity. Each chapter examines the intersection of German and Czech cinema from a different thematic or historical perspective. Chapter One deals with questions of authorship and transnationalism in films by Czech-German directors. Chapter Two looks at the staging of female bodies and the performance of ethnic masquerade by Czech actors in German films.
