title = "L'Istituzione cultuale del Reich: Echi contemporanei del Bokassa di Herzog",
abstract = "The article describes Bokassa's reign through the victim's testimony of the dictator in a docufiction shot by Herzog. The following analysis underlines both the fictional character concerning the institution of a personality cult and its spectacularly unsuccessful outcome from a historical and aesthetic point of view. The analysis of the documentary becomes an opportunity to show the rise of a political and media phenomenon, the relevance of the subject in Western democracies and, finally, the iconic nature of legal texts.",
