However, the material that remains for the work of remembering and commemorating this period of history is determined by both the bureaucratic excesses of the Nazi regime and the attempt to eradicate its victims without trace. This book argues that memory culture in the Berlin Republic is marked by an archival turn that reflects this shift from embodied to externalized, material memory and responds to the particular status of the archive \"after Auschwitz.\" What remains in this late phase of memory culture is the post-Holocaust archive, which at once ensures and haunts the future of Holocaust memory.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDrawing on the thinking of Freud, Derrida, and Georges Didi-Huberman, this book traces the political, ethical, and aesthetic implications of the archival turn in contemporary German memory culture across different media and genres. In its discussion of recent memorials, documentary film and theater, as well as prose narratives, all of which engage with the material legacy of the Nazi past, it argues that the performance of \"archive work\" is not only crucial to contemporary memory work but also fundamentally challenges it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDORA OSBORNE is Senior Lecturer in German at the University of St. Andrews.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Dora Osborne\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1640140522\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781640140523\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Camden House (NY)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/27\/2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 238\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.15lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.10h x 6.10w x 0.80d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 01\/01\/2021","brand":"Dora Osborne","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48136844181759,"sku":"9781640140523","price":120.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_7c7f3773-8f4a-4d39-a6fd-74f34be76c96.jpg?v=1770164847","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/what-remains-dora-osborne-9781640140523","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
