URL: https://en.nbpublish.com/library_read_article.php?id=58639 Koepnick, L. Fascism and the Contingency of Cinematic Time Abstract: The article questions about the extent to which the National Socialism and Italian fascism were created by cinematograph and the emphasis of cinematograph on those, which role the cinematograph played in propaganda of politically signifi cant symbols and emotions and what responses were created to the paradoxes of the cinematic time. The author proceeds from the assumption that both Nazi and Fascism ideologies appealed to the logic of the epoch of cinematograph in the hope of connecting the present with a major ideological need. In order to reinforce his position, the author analyzes Fillipo Tommaso Marinetti’s Futurist Manifesto written in 1909, A. Hitler’s speech at the opening of the Great Exhibition of German Art in 1937, Italian sculptor Umberto Boccioni’s artwork and etc. Keywords: cultural studies, cinematograph, cinematic time, national socialism and fascism, totalitarian regime policy in the sphere of culture, entertaining role of mass media, documentation of reality, perception of life as a motion, photodynamism and time-lapse photography, modernism.
