Abstract des Autors
Fascism and the Fascist representation of the human body as an iconic symbol of militaristic romanticism had, and has, parallels in other cultures. This fact should engender a sensitivity to past, present and undoubtedly future use of the body in and beyond new 'fascisms', as a political icon, illustrating a perennial search for human invulnerability, safety and security. The imagery of the muscular male body is everywhere. Despite the fact that fascism as a potent ideology appears dead, 'it could have a second coming in different forms'. As Roger eatwell has observed, 'neo-fascism has been the province of nostalgics'. Prometheus may yet prove immortal. Verf.-Referat
