• Holt, Thor (2020). Far from Home: Ibsen through the Camera Lens in the Third Reich. Show summary

  This dissertation explores film adaptations of Henrik Ibsen in the Third Reich. Which Ibsen texts were adapted and why, how was Ibsen adapted in Nazi cinema, and, finally, what were the ideological implications of these films? Delineating Ibsen adaptations as films recognized as such in the contemporary context, I explore Hans Hinrich’s Das Meer ruft (1933), Fritz Wendhausen’s Peer Gynt (1934), Detlef Sierck’s Stützen der Gesellschaft (1935), Hans Steinhoff’s Ein Volksfeind (1937), and Harald Braun’s Nora (1944) as audiovisual artifacts that carried numerous and often contradictory levels of meaning. The dissertation draws upon poststructuralist turns in adaptation theory and cultural studies, and situates the respective films in their immediate historical context. Applying heterogeneous models of ideology rather than deterministic propaganda models, I argue that the five films are prisms of the inner contradictions in the matrix of Nazi ideology
