Bibliographic Level Mode of Issuance: Monograph0-253-35564-8 Includes bibliographical references and index.On jouissance -- A dandy and Jewish detritus -- The material letter J -- On waste and matter -- Holocaust soap and the story of its production -- The guilty afterlife of the soma -- On contact -- The manuscript lost in Warsaw -- Things, touch, and detachment in Auschwitz -- Coda: the post-Holocaust object.In stark contrast to the widespread preoccupation with the wartime looting of priceless works of art, Bożena Shallcross focuses on the meaning of ordinary objects -- pots, eyeglasses, shoes, clothing, kitchen utensils -- tangible vestiges of a once-lived reality, which she reads here as cultural texts. Shallcross delineates the ways in which Holocaust objects are represented in Polish and Polish-Jewish texts written during or shortly after World War II. These representational strategies are distilled from the writings of Zuzanna Ginczanka, WÅ?adysÅ?aw Szlengel, Zofia NaÅ?kowska, CzesÅ?aw MiÅ?osz, Jerzy Andrzejewski, and Tadeusz Borowski. Combining close readings of selected texts with critical interrogations of a wide range of philosophical and theoretical approaches to the nature of matter, Shallcross's study broadens the current discourse on the Holocaust by embracing humble and overlooked material objects as they were perceived by writers of that time.Polish literature20th centuryHistory and criticismPolish literatureJewish authorsHistory and criticismHolocaust, Jewish (1939-1945), in literatureHolocaust, Jewish (1939-1945)PolandReality in literaturePolish literatureHistory and criticism.Polish literatureJewish authorsHistory and criticism.Holocaust, Jewish (1939-1945), in literature.Holocaust, Jewish (1939-1945)Reality in literature.891.8/509358405318Shallcross Bożena928582MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910813151303321Holocaust object in Polish and Polish-Jewish culture2919921UNINA
