Works in Progress
Works in Progress:Sketches, Prolegomena, Afterthoughts Marianne Hirsch (bio) Between the publication of Maus I (1986) and Maus II (1991), Art Spiegelman changed his cover self-portrait. In Maus I, Spiegelman depicts himself as a cartoon mouse with a human body and long tail, sitting with his back to the reader at his drafting table, smoking and drawing; and in Maus II, Spiegelman has morphed into a man holding a mouse mask in his hands. Now Spieg…
School Photos in Liquid Time
From clandestine images of Jewish children isolated in Nazi ghettos and Japanese American children incarcerated in camps to images of Native children removed to North American boarding schools, classroom photographs of schoolchildren are pervasive even in repressive historical and political contexts. School Photos in Liquid Time offers a closer look at this genre of vernacular photography, tracing how photography advances ideologies of social ass…
Stateless Memory
Responding to current conditions of statelessness by way of Hannah Arendt's mid- twentieth century reflections, this article proposes the aesthetic encounter as a practice of alternative, counter-national community and belonging. Artistic works exploring the vulnerabilities and the vicissitudes of statelessness by Mirta Kupferminc and Wangechi Mutu inspire a definition of stateless memory as a suspension or hiatus in time and space. Stateless mem…
Feminist Archives of Possibility
In this essay, based on a talk given at the Pembroke Center at Brown University, the author imagines a course in 2027 based on the Feminist Theory Archives. Exploring what the archive transmits about a specific moment of feminist theory, born of second-wave feminism, and what it leaves out, the essay argues that oral histories might supplement the papers of individual theorists, enabling feminists of the future to detect the web of connections, n…

The Rise of the Memoir by Alex Zwerdling
Reviewed by: The Rise of the Memoir by Alex Zwerdling Marianne Hirsch (bio) Alex Zwerdling. The Rise of the Memoir. Oxford UP, 2017. 238 pp. ISBN 978-0198755784, $90.00. Over twenty-five years ago, I had the good fortune to spend a productive year at the National Humanities Center working on a book about family photos. Although the year was meant to be devoted to individual research and writing, the Center encouraged fellows to form seminars on a…
Ce qui touche à la mémoire
EnglishThe transmission of violent histories is not limited to the familial sphere: it can be cultural, imaginative and projective. Art helps one experience the past differently. francaisLa transmission des histoires violentes n’est pas limitee au cercle de la famille : elle peut etre culturelle, imaginative et projective. L’art autorise ainsi d’autres experiences du passe
Postmémoire
Le terme de postmémoire décrit la relation que la « génération d’après » entretient avec le trauma culturel, collectif et personnel vécu par ceux qui l’ont précédée, il concerne ainsi des expériences dont cette génération d’après ne se « souvient » que par le biais d’histoires, d’images et de comportements parmi lesquels elle a grandi. Mais ces expériences lui ont été transmises de façon si profonde et affective qu’elles semblent constituer sa pr…
The Generation of Postmemory
Can we remember other people's memories? The Generation of Postmemory argues we can: that memories of traumatic events live on to mark the lives of those who were not there to experience them. Children of survivors and their contemporaries inherit catastrophic histories not through direct recollection but through haunting postmemories multiply mediated images, objects, stories, behaviors, and affects passed down within the family and the culture …

Sonja Jaslowitz. Poèmes inédits de Transnistrie
La tache sur le revers
Solidarité et souffrance »
Anticipating the eventual transfer and “special handling” of local and recently deported Bessarabian and Bukowinan Jews into German-controlled Ukraine, Romanian authorities established numerous “holding” or “containment” ghettos and concentration camps for Jews in Transnistria, their newly acquired territory between the Dniester and Bug rivers. A comparative examination of three of these concentration camps – Bogdanovka, Pechora, and Cariera de P…
Ghosts of Home
In modern-day Ukraine, east of the Carpathian Mountains, there is an invisible city. Known as Czernowitz, the "Vienna of the East" under the Habsburg empire, this vibrant Jewish-German Eastern European culture vanished after World War II—yet an idealized version lives on, suspended in the memories of its dispersed people and passed down to their children like a precious and haunted heirloom. In this original blend of history and communal memoir, …
The witness in the archive
What has Holocaust Studies brought to the study of memory, and, conversely, how has theoretical work on the Holocaust been inflected by Memory Studies? Focusing on witness testimony, we argue that the theoretical and philosophical efforts to grasp and define its contours have provoked a radical rethinking of the workings of memory and transmission: in particular, a foregrounding of embodiment, affect and silence. Yet we caution against a hyperbol…
Incongruous Images
When historians, archivists, and museologists turn to Eastern European photos from family albums or collections-for example, photos from the decades preceding the Holocaust and the early years of the Second World War-they seek visual evidence or illustrations of the past. But photographs may refuse to fit expected narratives and interpretations, revealing both more and less than we expect. Focusing on photos of Jews taken on the main avenues of C…
The Tile Stove
The Tile Stove Marianne Hirsch (bio) and Leo Spitzer (bio) My emotions peaked when I approached the tile stove, next to which my divan once stood. It was a kind of upright floor-to-ceiling ceramic tile stove, the same one where Papa used to warm the eiderdown to cover me on cold winter nights. I opened the creaky door. To my astonishment inside was a gas burner instead of the coal or wooden logs we used in my time. Still caressing the cold tile s…
The Generation of Postmemory
Postmemory describes the relationship of the second generation to powerful, often traumatic, experiences that preceded their births but that were nevertheless transmitted to them so deeply as to seem to constitute memories in their own right. Focusing on the remembrance of the Holocaust, this essay elucidates the generation of postmemory and its reliance on photography as a primary medium of transgenerational transmission of trauma. Identifying t…

What's Wrong With This Picture
This article considers the important role of archival photographs in the work of historians, artists and writers of the generation after the Holocaust. Powerful “points of memory” linking past and present, memory and postmemory, individual remembrance and cultural recall, photographs can offer evidence of past crimes and function as haunting specters that enable an affective visceral connection to the past. And yet, photographs may also be limite…
Testimonial Objects
Focusing on a book of recipes and a miniature artists' book from the Terezín and Vapniarka concentration camps, this essay argues that such material remnants can serve as testimonial objects that carry memory traces from the past and embody the process of its transmission. Inspired by Roland Barthes's notion of the punctum, we read such testimonial objects as points of memory-points of intersection between past and present, memory and postmemory,…

"One's first encounter with the photographic inventory of ultimate horror is a kind of revelation, the prototypically modern revelation: a negative epiphany. For me, it was photographs of Bergen-Belsen and Dachau that I came across by chance in a bookstore in Santa Monica in July 1945. Nothing I have seen--in photographs or in real life--ever cut me as sharply, deeply, instantaneously. Indeed, it seems plausible to me to divide my life into two p…
