MASS DICTATORSHIP IN THE 20TH CENTURY
‘Mass dictatorship’ addresses the (self-)mobilisation of ‘the masses’ in and for twentieth-century dictatorships. In contrast to pre-modern despotism, mass dictatorship depends upon its ability to entice and employ multiple forms of active participation of the many. By appropriating modern statecraft, a ‘dictatorship from above’ transforms itself into a ‘dictatorship from below’ – a practice of rule that builds upon people’s sustained cooperation. This series contributes to the understanding of popular dictatorships in the twentieth century by interrogating their conjunctures from a transnational perspective. This transnational angle reveals that the dualist perception of a few evil perpetrators (the dictator and his cronies) versus many innocent victims (the people), inherent in both the totalitarian and Marxist models, does not stand up to historical scrutiny. Replacing the Manichean presentism of Cold War paradigms, Mass Dictatorship in the 20th Century will explore ‘gender politics’, ‘modernity’, ‘everyday lives’ and ‘coming to terms with the past’. Building on a series of international conferences organised by the Research Institute of Comparative History and Culture at Hanyang University, Seoul, between 2003 and 2008, these books will explore not only the pre-World War II dictatorships (for example, Fascism, Nazism, Stalinism and Japanese colonialism) but post-World War II dictatorial regimes as well, including communist and post-colonial versions of ‘development dictatorships’ in Europe, Asia and Africa.
