In Disappearing Traces, Dorota Glowacka examines the tensions
between the ethical and aesthetic imperatives in literary,
artistic, and philosophical works about the Holocaust, in a search
for new ways to understand the traumatic past and its impact on the
present. She engages with the work of leading 20th-century
philosophers and theorists, including Levinas, Benjamin, Lyotard,
and Derrida, to consider the role of language in the construction
and transmission of traumatic memories; the relation between
self-identity and the act of bearing witness; and the ethical
implications of representing trauma. Glowacka's work draws on a
wide range of discourses and disciplines, bringing into
conversation various genres of writing and artistic production. It
reveals the need to find innovative idioms and new means of
engaging with the past, and to create alliances between different
disciplines and modes of representing the past that transform and
transcend existing paradigms of representation.
