Omschrijving
Recovers a forgotten archive of Holocaust representation. Examining art, literature, and film produced from the immediate postwar period up to the present, Brackney investigates changing portrayals of Jewish victims and survivors. In so doing, she demonstrates that the Holocaust has also been understood through a surreal mode of meaning making.
“An erudite, beautifully written book that journeys from the Yiddish poetry of Avrom Sutzkever to Donna Haraway’s manifesto on the ‘Chthulucene.’ Brackney shows how artists have not always deemed the Holocaust ‘unrepresentable.’ Rather, through surrealist articulations including science fiction and abstraction, representations of the Shoah have been unapologetically produced from the very beginning.”—Sheila Jelen, author of Salvage Poetics: Post-Holocaust American Jewish Folk Ethnographies
Kathryn L. Brackney is an assistant professor of history at Leiden University. Her research explores how aesthetic norms have developed for remembering the Holocaust and other crimes against humanity.
