5 The summer of 2020: memorialization under Covid-19 and Black Lives Matter
No full textThrough a range of local and national examples, Kushner explores how Britain has dealt with difficult histories, especially relating to racism, slavery and antisemitism. By utilizing insights from the history of emotions and the senses, he explores how the murder of George Floyd in the Covid-19 summer of 2020 brought to the fore issues of commemoration and belonging that have never been confronted and contested so intensively and heatedly before. His article argues for a bold response that is not afraid, through due process, to remove heritage that is deeply offensive, while recognizing the importance of ambiguity and complexity in re-representing and confronting troubling pasts, including the representation of perpetrators. In working towards a post-Covid-19 world, Kushner argues against returning to the ‘norm’ and instead towards a heritage and history that is sensitive, critical and inclusive, recognizing the presence of migrants in Britain, past and present.</p

Holocaust Testimonies, Ethics and the Problem of Representation
No full textTony Kushner offers his readers not only an accessible sketch of the oral history of the Holocaust, which resulted in the world’s largest archives of interviews – oral history testimonies, but also poses important theoretical and methodological questions to these sources, encouraging us to bring them out from the archival oblivion and write a non-classical historiography of the Shoah.

On listening to a Holocaust survivor (or not): a case study of Vera Karoly
No full textThis article explores power relations in gathering Holocaust survivor life stories. Through the case study of Slovakian Jewish survivor, Vera Karoly, it asks whether her testimony was given or taken. Using Hank Greenspan’s work as its inspiration, it contemplates the various forms of testimony and cultural production that were produced relating to Vera. The author himself is part of that process and it includes a reflexive approach to how he confronted the Holocaust. The ethical issues raised when a Holocaust survivor is reluctant to give testimony are to the fore, analyzing in this case how it led to a form of counter-memorial to the (im)possibility of speaking about the Shoah.</p

Case Study as Antidote to the Literal
No full textMuch programme and policy evaluation yields to the pressure to report on the productivity of programmes and is perforce compliant with the conditions of contract. Too often the view of these evaluations is limited to a literal reading of the analytical challenge. If we are evaluating X we look critically at X1, X2 and X3. There might be cause for embracing adjoining data sources such as W1 and Y1. This ignores frequent realities that an evaluation specification is only an approximate starting point for an unpredictable journey into comprehensive understanding; that the specification represents only that which is wanted by the sponsor, and not all that may be needed; and that the contractual specification too often insists on privileging the questions and concerns of a few. Case study evaluation proves an alternative that allows for the less-than-literal in the form of analysis of contingencies how people, phenomena and events may be related in dynamic ways, how context and action have only a blurred dividing line and how what defines the case as a case may only emerge late in the study
Truly, madly, deeply…nostalgically? Britain’s on-off love affair with refugees, past and present
No full textBritain’s response to the recent refugee crisis is marked by its absence. Kushner’s article explores how constructions of the past have been instrumentalized by defenders of government restrictionism and those demanding that more should be let in. His particular focus is on child refugees and the comparisons drawn (and rejected) to the Kindertransport. Through discussion in parliament, the media, cultural productions and among ordinary people, he shows the importance of ‘history’ and how references to the Second World War and the Holocaust have tended to help justify rather than query the exclusion of today’s refugees, thereby providing a very different example to Germany. He also explores the role of sentimentalism in positive responses to refugees and how this encourages empathy but can also limit effective entry policies and treatment of the forcibly displaced.</p
