The interconnections between histories and memories of the
Holocaust, colonialism and extreme violence in post-war French and
Francophone fiction and film provide the central focus of this
book. It proposes a new model of 'palimpsestic memory', which the
author defines as the condensation of different spatio-temporal
traces, to describe these interconnections and defines the poetics
and the politics of this composite form. In doing so it is argued
that a poetics dependent on tropes and techniques, such as
metaphor, allegory and montage, establishes connections across
space and time which oblige us to perceive cultural memory not in
terms of its singular attachment to a particular event or bound to
specific ethno-cultural or national communities but as a dynamic
process of transfer between different moments of racialized
violence and between different cultural communities. The structure
of the book allows for both the theoretical elaboration of this
paradigm for cultural memory and individual case-studies of novels
and films.
