The neutral gaze
Since Jean-Paul Sartre’s conception of ”le regard des autres” in 1943, “the gaze” has taken on many manifestations. The male gaze, the white gaze, the imperial gaze, the postcolonial gaze. All imply a power to objectify, to define an Other, usually from a distance or even, as Donna Haraway described objectivity, from “nowhere.” Museums have always held the power to define Others while claiming objectivity. Today, although the myth of the neutrali…
Afterlives
This dissertation examines how Jewish and non-Jewish Polish survivors of Nazi persecution who came to Sweden in 1945 as ‘repatriates’ and were associated with the Polish Research Institute in Lund, Sweden (PIZ) were engaged in transnational social and political processes during the early postwar period, including documenting Nazi persecution and contributing to postwar humanitarian and justice efforts. PIZ, a transnational initiative that documen…
Bridging Research Praxes Across Pluralities of Knowledge
How can researchers working both within and external to academia in alldisciplines and areas of research recognize knowledge produced in other spheresand engage more ethically and collaboratively with that knowledge and thosewho create and circulate it? This was the central question behind the BridgingResearch Praxes Across Pluralities of Knowledge conference held at LinkopingUniversity in Sweden and on Zoom in April 2022. At the heart of the con…
Witnessing the Suffering of Others in Watercolor and Pencil
In the Holocaust’s immediate aftermath (1945–1946), a small gallery in Lund, Sweden exhibited the paintings and drawings of Polish artist Jadwiga Simon-Pietkiewicz, which depicted her former fellow inmates in the Ravensbrück concentration camp. This exhibit and subsequent exhibitions elsewhere in Sweden marked rare instances of early postwar Holocaust art displayed in a country that had been relatively unaffected by the Holocaust. By analyzing th…
Shaping ongoing survival in a Swedish refugee camp
Among the hundreds of sites that housed survivors of Nazi persecution who came to Sweden in the spring and summer of 1945, one of the largest was at the small village of Öreryd. Between June 1945 and September 1946, around a thousand Jewish and non-Jewish Polish survivors came to this site, where they were expected to stay only until they were well enough to return to their home countries or migrate elsewhere. This article contributes to filling …
Witnessing against a divide? An analysis of early Holocaust testimonies constructed in interviews between Jewish and non-Jewish Poles
This article makes visible and analyzes survivor testimonies gathered in interviews between Jewish and non-Jewish Polish survivors of Nazi persecution in Sweden in 1945-1946. By examining the content of the testimonies in relation to the distinct context, it contributes to research about early documentation efforts and their role in shaping Polish memory of the Holocaust as well as post-conflict relations between Jewish and non-Jewish Poles. The …
