Today, with the passing of the eyewitness generation and the rise of comparative genocide studies, the Holocaust's privileged place not only in scholarly discourse but across Western society has been called into question.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eProbing the Ethics of Holocaust Culture\u003c\/i\u003e is a searching reappraisal of the debates and controversies that have shaped Holocaust studies over a quarter century. This landmark volume brings international scholars of the founding generation of Holocaust studies into conversation with a new generation of historians, artists, and writers who have challenged the limits of representation through their scholarly and cultural practices. Focusing on the public memorial cultures, testimonial narratives, and artifacts of cultural memory and history generated by Holocaust remembrance, the volume examines how Holocaust culture has become institutionalized, globalized, and variously contested. Organized around three interlocking themes--the stakes of narrative, the remediation of the archive, and the politics of exceptionality--the essays in this volume explore the complex ethics surrounding the discourses, artifacts, and institutions of Holocaust remembrance.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFrom contrasting viewpoints and, in particular, from the multiple perspectives of genocide studies, the authors question if and why the Holocaust should remain the ultimate test case for ethics and a unique reference point for how we understand genocide and crimes against humanity.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Claudio Fogu\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Harvard University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/17\/2016\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 528\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 2.10lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.30h x 6.40w x 1.40d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780674970519\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eFogu, Claudio:\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e - Claudio Fogu is Associate Professor of Italian Studies at the University of California, Santa Barbara.\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003ePresner, Todd:\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e - Todd Presner is Professor of Germanic Languages, Comparative Literature, and Digital Humanities at the University of California, Los Angeles.\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eKansteiner, Wulf:\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e - Wulf Kansteiner is Professor of History at Aarhus University.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Harvard University Press","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":40265551577203,"sku":"9.78E+12","price":53.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0555\/9255\/0515\/products\/img_e1e7448d-c755-44e9-ab61-8e2b227d0151.jpg?v=1657720689","url":"https:\/\/bookstorenmore.com\/products\/probing-the-ethics-of-holocaust-culture-9780674970519","provider":"Bookstore N More","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
