  • Jean Améry and Wolfgang Hildesheimer: Ressentiments, Melancholia, and the West German Public Sphere in the 1960S and 1970S
    JEAN AMÉRY AND WOLFGANG HILDESHEIMER: RESSENTIMENTS, MELANCHOLIA, AND THE WEST GERMAN PUBLIC SPHERE IN THE 1960S AND 1970S A Dissertation Presented to the Faculty of the Graduate School of Cornell University In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy by Melanie Steiner Sherwood January 2011 © 2011 Melanie Steiner Sherwood JEAN AMÉRY AND WOLFGANG HILDESHEIMER: RESSENTIMENTS, MELANCHOLIA, AND THE WEST GERMAN PUBLIC SPHERE IN THE 1960S AND 1970S Melanie Steiner Sherwood, Ph. D. Cornell University 2011 The dissertation revisits the West German literary scene of the 1960s and 1970s to investigate how two of its Jewish participants, Jean Améry and Wolfgang Hildesheimer, sought to promote ethical responses to the Holocaust. The study incorporates literary analysis and socio-political reflections on the ethics of public life. First, it is an analysis of the relationship between judicial confrontation of the German criminal past, the silence in the wider German cultural sphere in the wake of this confrontation, and the two writers’ efforts to expose and address this ethical disconnect (chapter I). Second, it draws attention to two very different modes of reactive affect, ressentiment and melancholia. Through readings of Hildesheimer’s novels Tynset (1965) and Masante (1973) in chapters II and III, on the one hand, and Améry’s essay “Ressentiments” (1966) and the essay-novel Lefeu oder Der Abbruch (1974) in chapters IV and V, on the other, the dissertation analyzes these two modes. Hildesheimer employed a register of ethical writing that articulated the interconnected processes of mourning and melancholia, but unlike recent scholarship that focuses on these categories and valorizes melancholia as source of productive socio-political action, Hildesheimer did not prescribe them as exemplary modes of affective reparation.

  • I Am a Mistake
    I am a Mistake A creation by Jan Fabre, Wolfgang Rihm and Chantal Akerman November and December 2007 I. THE PROJECT Jan Fabre has been commissioned by ECHO, the European concert halls organisation, to produce I am a Mistake, a creation in which music, film, dance and theatre are organically fused. A concertante to new music by Wolfgang Rihm for one actor, four dancers of Troubleyn|Jan Fabre, eighteen musicians, with accompaniment from the first note to the last in the form of a film by Chantal Akerman. The Belgian artist Jan Fabre has invited the German composer Wolfgang Rihm to join him for the creation of I am a Mistake. The basis for this creation is an original text by Jan Fabre, entitled I am a Mistake. It is a manifest that amounts almost to a profession of faith by the artist. The blunt confession I am a Mistake is like a mantra that repeats and divides; the voice in this text weaves his web of confessions and meanings, sometimes as a metaphor of an artist sometimes in a protesting tone. Protest against reality and its laws, against matters of fact and their conformism. It comes as no surprise that this piece is dedicated to the subversive film-maker (and amateur entomologist) Luis Buñuel and to Antonin Artaud. I am loyal to the pleasure that is trying to kill me ‘I am a mistake because I shape my life and work organically in accordance with my own judgement with no concern for what one ought to do or say’, this is the artist’s frank summary of his world view.

  • Key Findings Many European Union Governments Are Rehabilitating World War II Collaborators and War Criminals While Minimisin
    This first-ever report rating individual European Union countries on how they face up their Holocaust pasts was published on January 25, 2019 to coincide with UN Holocaust Remembrance Day. Researchers from Yale and Grinnell Colleges travelled throughout Europe to conduct the research. Representatives from the European Union of Progressive Judaism (EUPJ) have endorsed their work. Key Findings ● Many European Union governments are rehabilitating World War II collaborators and war criminals while minimising their own guilt in the attempted extermination of Jews. ● Revisionism is worst in new Central European members - Poland, Hungary, Croatia and Lithuania. ● But not all Central Europeans are moving in the wrong direction: two exemplary countries living up to their tragic histories are the Czech Republic and Romania. The Romanian model of appointing an independent commission to study the Holocaust should be duplicated. ● West European countries are not free from infection - Italy, in particular, needs to improve. ● In the west, Austria has made a remarkable turn-around while France stands out for its progress in accepting responsibility for the Vichy collaborationist government. ● Instead of protesting revisionist excesses, Israel supports many of the nationalist and revisionist governments. By William Echikson As the world marks the United Nations Holocaust Remembrance Day on January 27, European governments are rehabilitating World War II collaborators and war criminals while minimising their own guilt in the attempted extermination of Jews. This Holocaust Remembrance Project finds that Hungary, Poland, Croatia, and the Baltics are the worst offenders. Driven by feelings of victimhood and fears of accepting refugees, and often run by nationalist autocratic governments, these countries have received red cards for revisionism.
