Mass Dictatorship and Memory as Ever Present Past
10.1057/9781137289834 - Mass Dictatorship and Memory as Ever Present Past, Edited by Jie-Hyun Lim, Barbara Walker and Peter Lambert
Mass Dictatorship in the 20th Century
‘Mass dictatorship’ addresses the (self-) mobilization of ‘the masses’ in and for twentiethcentury 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 organized by the Research Institute of Comparative History and Culture at Hanyang University, Seoul between 2003 and 2008, these books explore not only the pre-WWII dictatorships (e.g. Fascism, Nazism, Stalinism and Japanese colonialism) but post-WWII dictatorial regimes as well, including communist and post-colonial versions of ‘development dictatorships’ in Europe, Asia, and Africa.
