- Additional information
- This output consists of the following elements: the single-authored introduction ‘Lazarus and the Modern World’ (pp. 1-28), the single-authored chapter ‘Concentrationary Art and the Reading of Everyday Life: (In)Human Spaces in Chantal Akerman’s Jeanne Dielman, 23, quai du Commerce, 1080 Bruxelles (1975)’, and the joint design and editing (50% each, Pollock and Silverman) of the volume as a whole. The volume is the fourth major outcome of an AHRC-funded project entitled ‘Concentrationary Memories and the Politics of Representation’ (Pollock and Silverman 2007-2011). The aim of the project as a whole was a) to return to the first two decades after the Second World War to look again at cultural and theoretical responses to the camps and the ‘concentrationary universe’ before the event became known as the Holocaust, and b) to establish the existence of what we call a ‘concentrationary imaginary’ by which contemporary culture has become saturated with the devices and strategies of the concentrationary universe but whose presence goes largely undetected. Silverman and Pollock were jointly responsible (50% each) for the overall project design and management, the organisation of the conferences, and the editing process for all four books that were the outcomes of the project.
