filmmakers from both countries have approached the subject in disparate fashions. While French filmmakers are well known for their documentary treatment of the Shoah, and represent at times the banal or bureaucratic side of evil, Italian directors have produced predominantly fiction films centered on the grey areas of survival. Key themes include: trauma (and vicarious trauma), individual and collective memory, witnessing, the gendering of blame, approaches to genre, historical forgetting and accountability. We will look at films by Resnais, Lanzmann, Begnini, Cavani, Wertmuller, Chabrol, Truffaut, Miller, Malle, Ozpetek and De Sica. Readings, which focus on trauma theory, include texts by Agamben, Levi, Hirsch, Felman, Laub, Caruth, Alexander, LaCapra, Santner, Marcus, Rousso, Freud and Leys.
