Mediation at the Holocaust Memorial in Berlin offers a novel
approach to the memorial and its study through the focus on
performances. Based on extensive ethnographic research, and drawing
on dramaturgic theory, memory studies and theories of the public
sphere, the book offers a fresh theorization of memorial experience
by analyzing interaction between guides, memorial workers and
visitors. Moving away from models of postmemory and post trauma
approaches, the book recognizes the precariousness and variation of
memory work done at the memorial through the ways visitors engages
with the act of remembrance rather than with its object, namely the
history of Jewish persecution and the Holocaust. This engagement
explores how visitors present and perform their 'moral career' at
the site, whose codes have been shaped by knowledge about and
visits in this and other sites of Holocaust remembrance.
