{"product_id":"the-holocaust-in-central-european-reinhard-ibler-9783838209821","title":"The Holocaust in Central European Literatures and Cultures: Problems of Poetization and Aestheticization","description":"Relating the Holocaust to poetic and aesthetic phenomena has often been considered taboo, as only authentic testimony, documents, or at least 'unliterary', prosaic approaches were seen as appropriate. However, from the very beginning of Holocaust literature and culture, there were tendencies towards literarization, poetization, and ornamentalization. Nowadays, aesthetic approaches--also in provocative, taboo-breaking ways--are more and more frequently encountered and seen as important ways to evoke the attention required to keep the cataclysm alive in popular memory. The essays in this volume use examples predominantly from Polish, Czech, and German Holocaust literature and culture to discuss this controversial subject. Topics include the poetry of concentration camp detainees, lyrical poetry about the Holocaust, poetic tendencies in narrative literature and drama, ornamental prose about the Holocaust, and the devices and functions of aestheticization in Holocaust literature and culture.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Reinhard Ibler\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 3838209826\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9783838209821\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Ibidem Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/04\/2016\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 300\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback","brand":"Reinhard Ibler","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47520650559743,"sku":"9783838209821","price":38.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_63006113-f499-4d81-8d7c-38c8e2e1bae7.jpg?v=1762886339","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-holocaust-in-central-european-reinhard-ibler-9783838209821","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
