Re-examining the Holocaust through Literature
In the late 1980s, Holocaust literature emerged as a provocative, but poorly defined, scholarly field. The essays in this volume reflect the increasingly international and pluridisciplinary nature of this scholarship and the widening of the definition of Holocaust literature to include comic books, fiction, film, and poetry, as well as the more traditional diaries, memoirs, and journals. Ten contributors from four countries engage issues of authenticity, evangelicalism, morality, representation, personal experience, and wish-fulfillment in Holocaust literature, which have been the subject of controversies in the US, Europe, and the Middle East. Of interest to students and instructors of antisemitism, national and comparative literatures, theater, film, history, literary criticism, religion, and Holocaust studies, this book also contains an extensive bibliography with references in over twenty languages which seeks to inspire further research in an international context.
Holocaust Memory and Youth Performance
Through an examination of children's and youth plays and performances about the Holocaust from Germany, Israel, and the United States, this book offers an entirely new way of looking at the vital role of youth performance in coping with the legacy of historical tragedy. As the first book-length critical examination of this subject, Holocaust Memory and Youth Performance considers plays that are produced by major theatre companies alongside performances written by young authors and pieces taken from the diaries and memoirs of those who experienced the Holocaust as children or adolescents. While youth-focused plays about the Holocaust have been in the repertories of top professional companies ...

Disaster Drawn
In hard-hitting accounts of Auschwitz, Bosnia, Palestine, and Hiroshima’s Ground Zero, comics display a stunning capacity to bear witness to trauma. Investigating how hand-drawn comics has come of age as a serious medium for engaging history, Disaster Drawn explores the ways graphic narratives by diverse artists, including Jacques Callot, Francisco Goya, Keiji Nakazawa, Art Spiegelman, and Joe Sacco, document the disasters of war. Hillary L. Chute traces how comics inherited graphic print traditions and innovations from the seventeenth century and later, pointing out that at every turn new forms of visual-verbal representation have arisen in response to the turmoil of war. Modern nonfictio...
Marrane et marronne
Cinquante ans jour pour jour après son foudroyant premier roman, Le Dernier des Justes, paraît posthumément L’Etoile du matin (2009). C’est le moment de revisiter l’ensemble de l’œuvre d’André (1928-2006) et de Simone Schwarz-Bart (°1938), pour y déceler d’abord les traces d’un triple trauma : la Shoah, « l’Affaire Schwarz-Bart » et la relative marginalisation dans le double canon (études juives, études caribéennes). En effet, que ce soit dans la littérature de la Shoah ou dans la littérature de l’esclavage, l’auteur antillais d’adoption semble comme « ex-communié ». Or, de l’Univers de concentration à l’Univers de Plantation, il dépiste les mêmes mécanismes de déshumanisation et la même nécessité à faire un double devoir de mémoire. A travers une étude de l’intertextualité tant en amont qu’en aval, d’une autotextualité entre le cycle ashkénaze et le cycle antillais, il devient clair qu’entre polonisation et créolisation, il y a réversibilité.
