Description
Introduction Italy in the 1930s was a society in the throes of rapid transformation. On the political front, the Fascist regime attempted to further solidify its domestic and international power with continued imperialist and expansionist enterprises. Economically, the country's pace toward a more modern phase of industrialization quickened, due to the regime's focus on corporativist legislation, autarchic policies, and technological advances. Culturally, this emphasis on industry and technology spurred the rise of the mass media. Radio, cinema, and publishing all flourished during the Fascist period in Italy, on the one hand due to their function as a means of aiding in creating cultural consensus and on the other due to the incredible profit potential these cultural industries offered through sales and advertising (Forgacs 55-93).
