Abstract

ABSTRACT:This article examines the relationship between policing, film censorship, and right-wing extremist politics through a case study of the Detroit Police Department Censor Bureau's censorship of leftist cinema during the 1930s. This period saw the police Censor Bureau repeatedly target films suspected of harboring sympathy for communist ideology as well as films openly critical of Hitler and fascism. I place this history within the context of the rise of nativist and fascist movements in southeast Michigan as a whole, and within the Detroit Police Department in particular, during the years leading up to the Second World War.
“我们要保持中立”:20世纪30年代底特律警察电影审查制度的右翼极端主义政治
摘要:本文以20世纪30年代底特律警察局审查局对左翼电影的审查为例,探讨了警察、电影审查和右翼极端主义政治之间的关系。在此期间,警察审查局多次针对涉嫌同情共产主义意识形态的电影,以及公开批评希特勒和法西斯主义的电影。我把这段历史放在本土主义者和法西斯运动在整个密歇根州东南部兴起的背景下,特别是在底特律警察局,在第二次世界大战之前的几年里。
