Taemoignage En Raesistance

Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. Neuware - The experience of the concentration camps is generally considered unspeakable. Yet numerous texts, works and films have tried to offer testimonies in various forms. Based on a wide ranging corpus, both literary and cinematic, Philippe Mesnard explores the forms of expression that are used by the witnesses, writers and artists. He distinguishes four principal forms of testimony: realist writing - a supposedly transparent form of expression (Vassili Grossman, David Rousset amongst others); 'transcendent' writing, that transposes reality onto a symbolic scene (as in Le dernier des Justes by André Schwartz-Bart or La vita e bella by Roberto Benigni); The 'critical form' that integrates loss and grief in its space (in Imre Kertész, Robert Antelme or Claude Lanzmann's works for example); and 'phatic' writing, that is emotional and unsettles language to express violence. These various forms create a culture of resistance against those who, in destroying man, also destroyed language. Philippe Mesnard offers a cogent, synthetic and thought-provoking analysis of the polyphonic resistance that the act of testifying creates, between distance and proximity.Philippe Mesnard is a lecturer in literature who teaches at the Haute École in Brussels and at the University of Marne-la-Vallée. He is the author of amongst others Consciences de la Shoah. Critique des discours et des représentations (Kimé, 2000), Giorgio Agamben à l'épreuve d'Auschwitz (Kimé, 2001), La Victime écran.
