Richard J. Golsan est un professeur émérite dont les travaux explorent les héritages littéraires, cinématographiques et juridiques de la Seconde Guerre mondiale en France, ainsi que des thèmes tels que le fascisme et l'engagement politique des écrivains et des intellectuels. Son œuvre examine de manière critique comment les créateurs ont abordé la complicité et l'interaction complexe entre politique et expression artistique. L'approche de Golsan se caractérise par une analyse pointue, offrant des perspectives profondes sur les relations complexes entre l'art, l'histoire et les changements sociétaux. À travers ses publications et son enseignement du cinéma français, il offre aux lecteurs et aux étudiants une riche compréhension des moments cruciaux de l'histoire culturelle et intellectuelle française.
One of the distinctive features of the "Vichy Syndrome"?the persistence of the memory of the Vichy regime in French political and cultural life?is that it has been extremelyødifficult for an authoritative historical discourse to impose itself. Why does Vichy, and all that the name entails, fascinate and even obsess the French, inflecting not only discussions of the past but of the present as well? In Vichy's Afterlife, Richard J. Golsan explores the complexities of some of the most provocative episodes of Vichy's curious persistence in France's national consciousness. He argues that each of these episodes, events, and scandals constitutes a crossroads where history and "counterhistory"?different or competing versions of the past?encounter one another, often with explosive and even destructive consequences.
This study examines the continuing impact of the memory of the Vichy regime and World War II in France. It analyzes recent political and intellectual debates, trials and the passage of contentious laws, historical controversies, and literary works and argues that the country has not yet reconciled with its past.
