Introduction To The Naked Communist: Cold War Modernism And The Politics Of Popular Culture, Roland K. Végső
Introduction To The Naked Communist: Cold War Modernism And The Politics Of Popular Culture, Roland K. Végső
Department of English: Faculty Publications
The first half of The Naked Communist is devoted to the theoretical and historical foundations of my reading of anti-Communist fictions. After the theoretical introduction, I examine anti-Communist aesthetic ideology by first analyzing its political and then its aesthetic components.
In the second half, I examine the way the culture of anti-Communism defined the “world” as the ultimate horizon of political imagination. Included is a brief overview of some of the most popular texts of the given genre.
Finally, I conclude these chapters with a reading of particular authors.
