For this episode of In Bed with the Right, Adrian and Moira return to the year 1933. They continue the story of how Hitler seized power, what it did to society, what it felt like to live through it, and -- as always -- what role gender and sexuality played in events. Reminder: We're going month by month for these episodes. This seventh installment covers September 1 to September 30, 1933. It's about culture: about how the Nazis took over the culture sector, how the émigrés began to establish an alternative, and how our modern picture of the Third Reich began to emerge.

A selection of books we consulted for or referred to in this episode:

Jürgen Trimborn, Leni Riefenstahl: A Life

Dagmar Herzog, Sex after Fascism

Kate Elswit, Watching Weimar Dance

Claudia Schmölders, Hitler's Face: The Biography of an Image

Susan Sontag, "Fascinating Fascism"

Adrian Daub, "Hannah, Can You Hear Me?"

Wonderful, as always! Your mention of Obama’s hand gestures gave me a sudden and delightful flashback to “A Glossary of Gestures for Critical Discussion” on Tumblr circa 2013. Just double checked, and I’m very happy to say it’s still there. A must for all academics, if you’re not already familiar.

And a reminder that we have continued cool discussions about this and other episodes over on the Discord Server. Now with topic threading!

Another fascinating(ly horrific) episode, thank you so much! I don’t know what the right forum for this is, but consider this comment my official pitch to be a guest on your show to discuss the new album from Taylor Swift and its many implied ties to gender and politics (even the album’s reception itself has grown legs of its own). Qualifications: masters degree (unrelated to any of my personal interests), swiftie for over 15 years. Even if you won’t have me, I’m dying to hear you two take on this topic 😜
