Wie kann eine kollektive Identität der europäischen Bürger/innen geschaffen werden? Mit dieser Frage befassen sich Geschichts- und Filmwissenschaftler anhand der in den 1950er und 1960er Jahren produzierten Werbefilme für Europa. Der europäische Integrationsprozess wurde von Beginn an von einer breit angelegten, politisch motivierten und gesteuerten Öffentlichkeitsarbeit begleitet. Ziel war es, die europäischen Bürger über die neu geschaffenen Institutionen zu informieren und ihre Identifikation mit dem Projekt Europa zu erreichen. Aufgrund seiner hohen Suggestivkraft spielte der Film dabei eine zentrale Rolle. Mit den von transatlantischen, supranationalen und nationalen Akteuren produzierten Werbefilmen wurde seit dem Ende der 1940er Jahre eine großangelegte mediale Mobilisierung der europäischen Bürger in Gang gesetzt. Mit welchen Bildern versucht wurde, Europa als gemeinsamen Erfahrungs- und Identifikationsraum zu konstituieren und ein europäisches »Wir-Gefühl« zu erzeugen, wird anhand dieser erstmals umfassend recherchierten »Europafilme« untersucht.

Virginia Woolf famously wrote 'as a woman I have no country', suggesting that women had little stake in defending countries where they are considered second-class citizens, and should instead be forces for peace. Yet women have been perpetrators as well as victims of violence in nationalist conflicts. This unique book generates insights into the role of gender in nationalist violence by examining feature films from a range of conflict zones. In The Battle of Algiers, female bombers destroy civilians while men dress in women's clothes to prevent the French army from capturing and torturing them. Prisoner of the Mountains shows a Chechen girl falling in love with her Russian captive as his mother tries to rescue him. Providing historical and political context to these and other films, Matthew Evangelista identifies the key role that economic decline plays in threatening masculine identity and provoking the misogynistic violence that often accompanies nationalist wars.
