Performing the Nation Interwar Germany: Sport, Spectacle and Political Symbolism, 1926-36 in Bloomington, MN

Performing the Nation in Interwar Germany argues that political aesthetics and mass spectacles were no invention of the Nazis but characterized the period from the mid-1920s to the mid-1930s. In so doing, it re-examines the role of state representation and propaganda in the Weimar Republic and the Nazi dictatorship.
