Project description
 

This project aims to analyse the image construction of Belgium (resp. Flanders and Wallonia) in Nazi Germany. Starting from the assumption that Nazi propaganda institutions used different media in a complementary way, i.e. with different functions and goals, the study will draw on a representative corpus of diverse media (newspapers, periodicals, books and films).
