Although modern historians and others employ it as a matter of course, the term 'Roman salute' is a misnomer. The true origins of this salute can be traced back to the popular culture of the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries that dealt with ancient Rome: historical plays and films. The visual culture of stage and screen from the 1890s to the 1920s was chiefly responsible for the wide familiarity of Europeans and Americans with forms of the raised-arm salute and made it readily available for political purposes. The Roman Salute: Cinema, History, Ideology by Martin M. Winkler presents extensive evidence for the modern origin of the raised-arm salute from well before the birth of Fascism and traces its varieties and its dissemination. The continuing presence of certain aspects of Fascism makes an examination of all its facets desirable, especially when the true origins of a symbol as potent as the salute and the history of its dissemination are barely known to classicists and historians of ancient Rome on the one hand, and to scholars of modern European history, on the other. Thus this book will appeal to classicists and historians, including film historians, and will be of interest to readers beyond the academy." -- Back cover. 650 0 Salutations. 650 07 Gruß <Motiv>|2swd 650 07 Geschichtsschreibung.|2swd 650 07 Ideologie.|2swd 650 07 Künste.|2swd 650 07 Film.|2swd 651 0 Rome|xIn motion pictures. 651 0 Rome|vIn art. 651 0 Rome|xIn literature. 651 7 Römisches Reich <Motiv>|2swd 776 08 |iOnline version:|aWinkler, Martin M.|tRoman salute. |dColumbus : Ohio State University Press, c2009 |w(OCoLC)653408446 856 42 |3Table of contents only|uhttp://catdir.loc.gov/catdir/toc /ecip0828/2008041124.html 946 PFA PN1995.9.R68W56 2009.
