• Resumen

  • Taking into account a non-essentialist notion of national identity, this paper analyses Marlene Dietrich’s Germanness as constructed through filmic and extra-filmic discourses. Using Der blaue Engel (The Blue Angel, J. von Sternberg, 1930) as a starting point of her stardom, and then considering the discourses surrounding the star in the next stage of her career in Hollywood, I show how Dietrich’s ethnic mark serves to displace into a foreign realm those aspects of modern consumerism that challenge the myths on which the national identities of Germany and the U.S.A. are based.
