Title: Holocaust Discourse
Section ID 444449 Lecture TuTh 12:30 -1:50 CSB 001
"Nazism has disappeared, but the obsession it represents for the
contemporary imagination‹as well as the birth of a new discourse
that ceaselessly elaborates and reinterprets it necessarily confronts
us with this ultimate question: Is such attention fixed on the past only
a gratuitous reverie, the attraction of spectacle, exorcism, or the result
of a need to understand; or is it, again and still, an expression of profound
fears and, on the part of some, yearnings as well." Saul Friedlander
In this course we will examine some of the legal, visual, historical and
cultural discourses and debates that have contributed to the production
of the Holocaust as not only a coherent and cohesive event, but as a touchstone
of moral and political discourse in the United States that entails a distinct
and decidedly powerful set of stories about pluralism, tolerance, democracy,
human rights, and justice.
Readings include but
are not limited to selections from: Peter Novick, The Holocaust in American
Life; Jeffrey Shandler, While America Watches: Televising the Holocaust;
Barbie Zelizer (ed), Visual Culture and the Holocaust; Saul Friedlander
(ed), Probing the Limits of Representation: Nazism and the "Final
Solution"; Yosefa Loshitzky, Spielberg's Holocaust; Tim Cole, Selling
