An Archive of the Catastrophe
Jennifer Cazenave’s An Archive of the Catastrophe offers illuminating behind-the-scenes insight into Lanzmann’s Shoah, a significant Holocaust documentary known for its “staged scenes of reenactment” and for challenging traditional narrative forms (p. 5). This book’s contribution is twofold. First, it details the history of the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum’s (USHMM) acquisition of the Shoah archive. Claude Lanzmann’s vast trove of arch…

Fascism and its Afterlife in Architecture
The recent opening to the public of large-scale National Socialist installations in Germany - like the Denkort Bunker "Valentin" in Bremen-Farge - has prompted questions on how to address the legacy of Nazi advances in science and technology in musealized spaces, and, more generally, how to curate inconvenient military history. To tackle these questions, the issue of affect is crucial. Curation must be able to confront articulations of right-wing…

Konejung's book, a revised dissertation, examines the question of why poetry by women authors continues to be central to women's self-definition of their identities. The way that women readers relate to poetry by female authors, Konejung argues, tends to be mostly a transferential one of identification that is …
