Cíle předmětu
The lectures will focus on questions of Joseph Garncarz´s actual research. He is the first researcher systematically analysing the film preferences of the German cinema audience during the Nazi dictatorship from 1933 to 1945. To this end, research methods had to be improved and charts ranking films according to their box office success had to be compiled. The charts have to be interpreted in terms of the patterns formed by the top hits. As to determine whether these preferences were distinctive, the charts for Nazi Germany have to be compared with annual hit lists of other European countries.
