This volume engages with memory of the Holocaust as expressed in
literature, film, and other media. It focuses on the cultural
memory of the second and third generations of Holocaust survivors,
while also taking into view those who were children during the Nazi
period. Language loss, language acquisition, and the multiple needs
of translation are recurrent themes for all of the authors
discussed. By bringing together authors and scholars (often both)
from different generations, countries, and languages, and focusing
on transgenerational and translational issues, this book presents
multiple perspectives on the subject of Holocaust memory, its
impact, and its ongoing worldwide communication.
Performance and performativity are important terms for a
theorization of gender and race/ethnicity as constitutive of
identity. This collection reflects the ubiquity, diversity, and
(historical) locatedness of ethnicity and gender by presenting
contributions by an array of international scholars who focus on
the representation of these crucial categories of identity across
various media, including literature, film, documentary, and (music)
video performance. The first section, "Political Agency," stresses
instances where the performance of ethnicity/gender ultimately aims
at a liberating effect leading to more autonomy. The second
section, "Diasporic Belonging," explores the different kinds of
negotiations of ethnic performances in multi-ethnic contexts. The
third part, "Performances of Ethnicity and Gender" scrutinizes
instances of the combined performance of ethnicity and gender in
novels, films, and musical performances. The last section
"Cross-Ethnic Traffic" contains a number of contributions that are
concerned with attempts at crossing over from "one ethnicity into
another" by way of performance.
