%X This piece unpacks how Holocaust-related films - ranging from Nazisploitation cinema (Love Camp 7, 1968; Ilsa: She Wolf of the SS, 1975) through to 'art house' (The Night Porter, 1974) and mainstream representations (Schindler's List, 1994) - eroticize Nazi atrocities and violence against women. Following on from Caldwell's analysis of gender 'realness' we argue that there has been a tendency for such films to present masculinity as the dominant power-simulacra. Using Schweickart's (1986) androcentric reading strategy and Mulvey's (1992) scopophilic male gaze, we ask whether gender hierarchies and inequalities are reproduced in these cinematic representations.<p /> <p>Language: en</p>
