Mnemosyne and the Ruins of History --Bibliography --Index of NamesSites of the Uncanny: Paul Celan, Specularity and the Visual Arts is the first book-length study that examines Celan's impact on visual culture. Exploring poetry's relation to film, painting and architecture, this study tracks the transformation of Celan in postwar German culture and shows the extent to which his poetics accompany the country's memory politics after the Holocaust. The book posits a new theoretical model of the Holocaustal uncanny - evolving out of a crossing between Celan, Freud, Heidegger and Levinas - that provides a map for entering other modes of Holocaust representations. After probing Celan's critique of the uncanny in Heidegger, this study shifts to the translation of Celan's uncanny poetics in Resnais' film Night and Fog, Kiefer's art and Libeskind's architecture.Popular cultureGermanyHolocaust, Jewish (1939-1945), and the artsCollective memoryGermanyPopular cultureHolocaust, Jewish (1939-1945), and the arts.Collective memory831.914GN 3728rvkKligerman Eric1592933MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910818248403321Sites of the uncanny3912816UNINA
