Märksõnad:
This second edition continues to address both canonical representations and marginal methods of engaging the Holocaust, but adds new material, including Paul Celan's poem "Death Fugue" of 1952. The topics include The Boy in the Warsaw Ghetto (photograph 1943): what iconic photographs reveal about the Holocaust, The Diary of Anne Frank (drama 1955): the Americanization of the Holocaust, Maus: A Survivor's Tale (graphic novel 1986-91): how the memory of the Holocaust is transmitted across generations, Mirroring Evil: Nazi Imagery/Recent Art (museum exhibition 2002): whether the memory of the Holocaust has become too commercial, and Wolfenstein II: The New Colossus (computer game 2017): the role games play in representing the Holocaust. Annotation ©2020 Ringgold, Inc., Portland, OR (protoview.com)

How the Holocaust is depicted and memorialized is key to our understanding of the atrocity and its impact. Through 18 case studies dating from the immediate aftermath of the genocide to the present day, Holocaust Representations in History explores this in detail.

Daniel H. Magilow and Lisa Silverman examine film, drama, literature, photography, visual art, television, graphic novels, memorials, and video games as they discuss the major themes and issues that underpin the chronicling of the Holocaust. Each chapter is focused on a critical debate or question in Holocaust history; the case studies range from well-known, commercially successful works about the Holocaust to controversial examples which have drawn accusations of profaning the memory of the genocide. This 2nd edition adds to the mosaic of representation, with new chapters analysing poetry in the wake of the Holocaust and video games from the here and now.

This unique volume provides an unmatched survey of key and controversial Holocaust representations and is of vital importance to anyone wanting to understand the subject and its complexities.

Arvustused

In engaging prose, Magilow and Silverman show that influential works on the Holocaust were shaped by the historical moment in which they were produced. Their lesson is an important one: what we know of this horrific event is mediated by present concerns and so evolves with time and, once taken to heart, youll never read these canonical and controversial texts the same way. * Lisa Leff, Professor of History, American University, USA * This book is an excellent interdisciplinary statement on the narrative challenges of the Holocaust to art, film, literature and memorialisation. A must-use text of close readings for teachers and students alike. * Simone Gigliotti, Senior Lecturer in Holocaust Studies, Royal Holloway University of London, UK *
