An exploration of the work of Jewish women graphic novelists and
the intricate Jewish identity is complicated by gender, memory,
generation, and place-that is, the emotional, geographical, and
psychological spaces that women inhabit. Victoria Aarons argues
that Jewish women graphic novelists are preoccupied with embodied
memory: the way the body materializes memory. This monograph
investigates how memory manifests in the drawn shape of the body as
an expression of the weight of personal and collective histories.
Aarons explores Jewish identity, diaspora, mourning, memory, and
witness in the works of Sarah Lightman, Liana Finck, Anya Ulinich,
Leela Corman, and more. Memory Spaces begins by framing this
research within contemporary discourse and reflects upon the choice
to explore Jewish women graphic novelists specifically. In the
chapters that follow, Aarons relates the nuanced issues of memory,
transmission of trauma, Jewish cultural identity, and the gendered
self to a series of meaningful and noteworthy graphic novels.
Aarons's insight, close readings, and integration of contemporary
scholarship are conveyed clearly and concisely, creating a work
that both captivates readers and contributes to scholarly discourse
in Jewish studies, women's literature, memory studies, and
identity.
