Concentrationary Cinema: Aesthetics as Political Resistance in Alain Resnais's Night and Fog
Since its completion in 1955, Alain Resnais’s Night and Fog ( Nuit et Brouillard ) has been considered one of the most important films to confront the catastrophe and atrocities of the Nazi era. But was it a film about the Holocaust that failed to recognize the racist genocide? Or was the film not about the Holocaust as we know it today but a political and aesthetic response to what David Rousset, the French political prisoner from Buchenwald, id…
Poetics of Sovereignty in American Literature, 1885-1910
The Poetics of Sovereignty in American Literature, 1885–1910
During the Progressive Era, the United States regularly suspended its own laws to regulate racialized populations. Judges and administrators relied on the rhetoric of sovereignty to justify such legal practices, while in American popular culture, sovereignty helped authors coin tropes that have become synonymous with American exceptionalism today. In this book, Andrew Hebard challenges the notion of sovereignty as a 'state of exception' in Americ…
God's Arbiters: Americans and the Philippines, 1898-1902
Susan K. Harris’s God’s Arbiters gives a compelling account of how religious discourse structured the often-contradictory self-understanding of American empire after the Spanish-American War. Drawing from a range of historical materials including congressional debates, political speeches, textbooks, novels, poems, and cartoons, Harris is particularly interested in how a Protestant sense of national identity created assumptions that both pro- and …
Law, Literature, and the “Situation” of Immigration
In American immigration cases, the courts have simultaneously imagined different kinds of situations in which immigrants are regulated: situations where the plenary power doctrine suspends the ordinary operation of the law and situations where everyday legal norms are operative. Focusing on the exclusionary era between 1882 and 1905, this article demonstrates how legal discourse imagines and describes the situations in which particular kinds of a…

Romance and Riot: Charles Chesnutt, the Romantic South, and the Conventions of Extralegal Violence Andrew Hebard (bio) In a chapter cynically titled “How Not to Stop a Lynching,” William Miller, the African American paragon of civic virtue in Charles Chesnutt’s The Marrow of Tradition, runs through a number of options to stop the impending lynching of a black man: “go to the sheriff . . . telegraph the governor to call out the militia . . . call …

Romantic Sovereignty: Popular Romances and the American Imperial State in the Philippines
Romantic Sovereignty" examines U.S. imperial governance in the Philippines in relation to popular turn-of-the-century romances. Placing these novels alongside bureaucratic and legal discourses, the essay looks at how the literary modes of realism and romance mapped onto modes of governance. By moving between realism and romance according to a particular narrative logic, these novels created a convention for transforming seemingly insurmountable c…
Disruptive Histories: Toward a Radical Politics of Remembrance in Alain Resnais's Night and Fog
produced a long series of problems that reverberated in the European press for the next two years. The film was Alain Resnais's Night and Fog (1955), a thirty-two minute documentary on the Holocaust. Banned from the festival because of German protests, the film made public a whole process of historical repression. The initial complaint pressed by the German foreign office claimed that the film would incite anti-German hatred. A combination of the…
