This book considers th...
Rethinking Holocaust Film Reception
Taking early 21st century Britain as a case study, Rethinking Holocaust Film Reception: A British Case Study presents an intervention into the scholarship on the representation of the Holocaust on film.

The Game is the Memory
Tabea Widmann widmet sich digitalen Spielen als Erinnerungsmedien um den Holocaust und untersucht sie als potenziell besonders wirkungsmächtige Medien der digitalisierten Erinnerungskulturen. Im Zentrum steht dabei das Konzept des »Prosthetic Witnessing«; ein Ansatz, der spielerische Handlungen als vermittelte Positionen einer medialisiert-distanzierten, aber dennoch emotional involvierenden Zeugenschaft begreift.
