Description

Auschwitz and Afterimages by Nicholas Chare presents a new approach to understanding the Holocaust through the concept of abjection. Chare critically reassesses Julia Kristeva's work, including her influential book 'Powers of Horror', and explores its relevance to the study of the Holocaust. The author also examines the poetic prose of Charlotte Delbo and the paintings of Francis Bacon, as well as the 'Scrolls of Auschwitz', discovered in the grounds of Birkenau. By analysing these material remains as both physical objects and testimonial texts, Chare extends our understanding of writing, imaging, and the bodily. This book offers a fresh perspective on the representation and witnessing of the Holocaust, challenging readers to reconsider their approach to this complex and sensitive subject.
