Kuo-feng and Ta-lu, both produced by the Lien-hua Film Company in 1934, reveal the fascist drive and symptoms of paranoia through the rhetoric of romantic idealism, the projection of the utopian vision, and the dichotomization of the sacred and the demon. All these symptoms lead to the desire for the collective phallus, a new national order and national subjectivity. Such fascist mentalities corresponded to the contemporary cultural discursive fields, such as the literary debates on “the liberty people” or “the third kind of people,” the film censorship practiced by the governmental bureaus, as well as the Li-hsing Society and the related New Life Movement. The need to establish the norm and to purge the heterogeneous and the unclean, as demonstrated in all these cultural texts, is the fascist aesthetic required in the process of the formalization of the nationalist subject. |
