"My friend from Haifa said that when he dreamed, he dreamed not about the enemy, but about himself" : studies on the Palestinian‑Israeli Conflict as a Challenge for the Holocaust Studies
No full textIn the article, the author endeavours to describe the advantages of juxtaposing studies on the Palestinian‑Israeli conflict with the Holocaust studies. Arguments for it are found in works in sociology and philosophy of prejudice and ethnic conflicts (Monika Bobako), reflections on memory and decolonisation (Michael Rothberg), and – especially – those on dual nationality as a philosophical issue (Judith Butler). However, the author primarily focuses on further developing Butler’s intriguing theory of vulnerability and applying it to fragility as a political, architectural, and existential problem. In order to do so, the author discusses the poetry of Mahmud Darwish (hardly present in Poland) and the film Notre musique by Jean‑Luc Godard

Argumentów dostarczają jej prace z zakresu socjologii i filozofii uprzedzeń oraz konfliktów etnicznych (Monika Bobako), refleksji nad pamięcią i dekolonizacją (Michael Rothberg), a szczególnie – nad dwunarodowością jako problemem filozoficznym (Judith Butler). Badaczka stara się jednak przede wszystkim rozwinąć ciekawą teorię wulnerabilności J. Butler i odnieść ją do kruchości jako problemu politycznego, architektonicznego i egzystencjalnego. W tym celu omawia słabo obecną w Polsce poezję Mahmuda Darwisha oraz film Nasza muzyka Jeana-Luca Godarda
Entre l’extrême et l’ordinaire : le réalisme traumatique chez Ruth Klüger et Charlotte Delbo
Get PDFCet article entend montrer comment s’exprime, dans l’écriture du témoignage, une forme de « réalisme traumatique ». À la lumière d’une étude précise de certains passages des Mémoires de Ruth Klüger, Weiter leben [Refus de témoigner] et de la trilogie de Charlotte Delbo, Auschwitz et après, nous verrons comment chaque auteur tisse des liens entre l’extrême et l’ordinaire afin de représenter l’« univers concentrationnaire » nazi. Au surplus, les textes de Klüger et de Delbo offrent des matériaux à une entreprise critique s’inscrivant dans la mouvance des théories récentes du trauma, dont l’influence est considérable dans le champ des études culturelles ou littéraires. Alors que certains théoriciens envisagent la catégorie du trauma d’un point de vue totalisant et homogénéisant, les textes examinés ici nous invitent à penser la violence traumatique sous un angle différent. Ils permettent également de saisir la portée politique du témoignage et d’approfondir notre connaissance de la violence extrême tout en favorisant une meilleure reconnaissance sociale du contexte social post-traumatique.This essay develops an account of testimony as a form of “traumatic realism.” Based on close analysis of passages in Ruth Klüger’s memoir Weiter leben [Landscapes of memory] and Charlotte Delbo’s trilogy Auschwitz et après [Auschwitz and after] the essay reveals how each author interweaves the extreme and the everyday in order to portray the “concentrationary universe” of the Nazi camps. In addition, the texts of Klüger and Delbo provide resources for a critical engagement with influential recent theories of trauma in literary and cultural studies. While some theorists risk absolutizing and homogenizing the category of trauma, the texts discussed here help us to develop a differentiated account of traumatic violence. They also help us to reflect on the political impact of testimony. Traumatic realist texts, such as those by Klüger and Delbo, simultaneously produce knowledge of extreme violence and prompt public recognition of a post-traumatic social context
Migrating memories: Power and transcultural memory in contemporary South Asian fiction
Get PDFThis dissertation interrogates two interrelated questions: First, what effect does power have on memory? Second, how does literature help us “locate” or make visible the processes of memory transmission within and between subaltern groups whose actions are patrolled and, at times, curtailed? These questions are central to the future trajectories of memory studies, where the transcultural turn tracing memories across national and cultural borders necessitates an understanding of how people navigate overlapping local, national, and global networks of power that mandate forms of remembrance and forgetting. As Michael Rothberg observes, questions regarding power are paramount as memory studies expands from its Eurocentric roots to examine legacies of colonial trauma and migration (“Locating Transnational Memory” np). However, scholars have yet to address power’s effect on memory. Simultaneously, delineating institutional regulation of transcultural memory requires pinpointing memory’s intangible dynamics in order to identify sites that exemplify what Susannah Radstone defines as the “locatedness” of memories on the move while simultaneously acknowledging their inaccessibility (111). Given these concerns, my dissertation charts the repercussions of institutional power on memory in contemporary South Asian fiction by mapping the representative strategies authors deploy to depict transcultural memories suppressed by hegemonic framings of the past.
This project is interdisciplinary, employing methodologies from memory and trauma studies, world literature, and postcolonial theory, paying particular attention to how these fields illuminate transnational connections between subaltern groups. I draw on South Asian fiction produced in the US, Canada, England, and the subcontinent from the 1980s to the present in order to examine how the rise of neoliberalism, multiculturalism, and the impact of 9/11 together produce what Jasbir Puar terms a “racial amnesia” that “homogenize[s] and particularize[s] populations for control,” disbanding potential allegiances between minority groups to assimilate them into “civil” society, a phenomenon this literature interrogates (26). To counter this fracturing, I excavate the mnemonic possibilities of fiction by Amitav Ghosh, Mohsin Hamid, Hari Kunzru, and Bharati Mukherjee to demonstrate how such texts act as traveling sites of memory by providing glimpses of alternative pasts and futures not available to subaltern subjects in the present.Submission published under a 24 month embargo labeled 'Closed Access', the embargo will last until 2020-08-01The student, Jessica Young, accepted the attached license on 2018-07-13 at 01:14.The student, Jessica Young, submitted this Dissertation for approval on 2018-07-13 at 01:21.This Dissertation was approved for publication on 2018-07-13 at 11:48.DSpace SAF Submission Ingestion Package generated from Vireo submission #12862 on 2018-09-27 at 11:37:21Made available in DSpace on 2018-09-27T16:47:34Z (GMT).

Residential energy consumption in the Northern Alliance for Greenhouse Action Region, Melbourne, Australia: an analysis of socioeconomic and built environment factors
No full textAs efforts to reduce energy consumption continue, driven by climate change and economic pressures, the need to understand what influences energy consumption is of increasing importance. The Northern Alliance for Greenhouse Action (NAGA) in Melbourne, Australia, has collected residential consumption data at a post office area level since 2008, to inform greenhouse and energy reduction activities in their region. This study builds on this work and determines relationships between post office area residential energy consumption with socio-economic and built environment indicators for 2011 using multivariate analysis. The study found that residential energy efficiency has increased in newer areas, but household size and increasing floor area have offset energy savings. Areas with increased density were found to have lower energy consumption than less densely populated areas. Income was observed to have a weaker relationship than was expected with energy consumption based on the literature reviewed, whilst the relationship between rentals rates suggest renters are disadvantaged with regard to energy consumption. This information can be used to better understand drivers of residential energy consumption, and to inform policy makers to effectively develop energy efficiency policies and program

Wounds in time: the aesthetic afterlives of the Cultural Revolution
No full textMy dissertation, “Wounds in Time: the Aesthetic Afterlives of the Cultural Revolution,” departs from the traditional historicist approach to the Cultural Revolution, contributing instead an investigation of the Cultural Revolution through its aesthetic afterlives. This study crosses disciplines and seeks to grasp the traumatic traces embedded within works of literature, art, and cinema that deal with the Cultural Revolution consciously or unconsciously, in lucidity or encryption. My analysis of the Cultural Revolution as a traumatic wound endeavors to bring the concealed political crimes, disavowed pains and absent feelings into historical consciousness. Figures central to this study include writers Han Shaogong, Yu Hua, and Hong Ying, artist Zhang Xiaogang, as well as filmmakers Jia Zhangke and Jiang Wen. Drawing on classical theory of trauma by Freud as well as works by subsequent theorists such as Nicholas Abraham and Maria Torok, Cathy Caruth and Dominick LaCapra, I maintain that the Cultural Revolution is not a fixed temporal entity but a phantom that stretches beyond history, finding contemporary cultural avenues of expression, and rematerializing to demand recognition and reparation. Further, by means of bringing trauma theory into a new historical/cultural context, this study translates/revises trauma theory beyond its Eurocentric provenance.Item withdrawn by Mark Zulauf ([email protected]) on 2011-07-07T14:45:31Z
