Abstract
Ämnesord
Stäng
- In this paper I look at visual representations of World War II, compare them to interviews with what I call “Third Reich enthusiasts” and examine how the media texts and images function in creating a contemporary image of the historical events. WWII games cooperate, in their own way, in the maintenance of our collective memory. Nevertheless, in these games historical facts are not considered as important as excitement, heroes, villains (the dichotomy good/evil), and gothic surroundings. Thus, although claiming historical settings and narratives, they are rather reshaping WWII as a stereotypical event with more connections to popular films than to history in it self.
