She told him to turn to the picture whenever he felt the need to do so. His parents both promised him that they would come and find him and bring him home after the war. (Dori Laub 1992) Survival, testimony, and witness 1 The 1992 coauthored collection Testimony by Shoshana Felman and Dori Laub became a groundbreaking work in trauma studies largely due to its ability to situate trauma within a post-World War II context that, they argued, continued to struggle to bear witness to the atrocity of the Holocaust. Cognizant of the powerful courtroom testimonies of survivors of the Holocaust—the Nuremberg Trials (1945-1946) and the Eichmann Trial in Jerusalem (1961-1962) among the two most notable—Felman and Laub link such key terms as testimony, witness, ethics, justice, and history to a growing field of trauma studies after the war.

  • The Bosnian Case: Art, History and Memory
    The Bosnian Case: Art, History and Memory Elmedin Žunić ORCID ID: 0000-0003-3694-7098 Submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements of the degree of Doctor of Philosophy The University of Melbourne Faculty of Fine Arts and Music July 2018 Abstract The Bosnian Case: Art, History and Memory concerns the representation of historic and traumatogenic events in art through the specific case of the war in Bosnia 1992-1995. The research investigates an aftermath articulated through the Freudian concept of Nachträglichkeit, rebounding on the nature of representation in the art as always in the space of an "afterness". The ability to represent an originary traumatic scenario has been questioned in the theoretics surrounding this concept. Through The Bosnian Case and its art historical precedents, the research challenges this line of thinking, identifying, including through fieldwork in Bosnia in 2016, the continuation of the war in a war of images. iii Declaration This is to certify that: This dissertation comprises only my original work towards the PhD except where indicated. Due acknowledgement has been made in the text to all other material used. This dissertation is approximately 40,000 words in length, exclusive of figures, references and appendices.

Buchanan Osgoode Hall Law School,York University Abstract The failures of Western law in its encounter with indigenous legal orders have been well documented, but alternative modes of negotiating the encounter remain under-explored in legal scholarship. The present article addresses this lacuna. It proceeds from the premise that the journey towards a different conceptualization of law might be fruitfully re-routed through the affect-laden realm of embodied experience – the experience of watching the subversive anti- western film Dead Man. Section II explains and develops a Deleuzian approach to law and film which involves thinking about film as ‘‘event.’’ Section III considers Dead Man’s relation to the western genre and its implications for how we think about law’s founding on the frontier.

  • BAM Announces the Full Lineup for the 10Th Annual Bamcinemafest, A
    BAM announces the full lineup for the 10th annual BAMcinemaFest, a festival of American independents featuring 22 New York premieres and three world premieres, Jun 20—Jul 1 Opening night—Boots Riley’s Sorry to Bother You Closing night—Josephine Decker’s Madeline’s Madeline Centerpiece—Debra Granik’s Leave No Trace Spotlight—Bo Burnham’s Eighth Grade & Stephen Maing’s Crime + Punishment Outdoor screening—Kasi Lemmons’ Eve’s Bayou (1997) The Wall Street Journal is the title sponsor for BAMcinemaFest, BAMcinématek, and BAM Rose Cinemas. May 1, 2018/Brooklyn, NY—BAM announces the full lineup for the tenth annual BAMcinemaFest (Jun 20—Jul 1). Described as “filmgoers’ most exhilarating annual opportunity for discovery” (The Village Voice), BAMcinemaFest has evolved into a platform for both emerging and established filmmakers as well as unconventional and often overlooked films. This year’s 12-day festival presents all New York premieres and three world premieres. Gina Duncan, BAM’s Associate Vice President of Cinema explains "We are proud to present work that is compelling, defiant, and ultimately thrilling. It feels appropriate to celebrate the tenth BAMcinemaFest with a line-up of films and filmmakers whose energy and adventurousness hints at something profound taking root. I can't wait to see what it bears." Opening this year’s festival on Wednesday, June 20 is the head-spinningly surreal debut from musician-turned-filmmaker Boots Riley, Sorry to Bother You. Struggling to make ends meet in Oakland, CA, Cassius Green (Lakeith Stanfield) lands a job as a RegalView telemarketer. Realizing perfecting his “white voice” is the key to his monetary success, Green soon discovers it’s not without considerable consequences.

  • Neuer Nachrichtenbrief Der Gesellschaft Für Exilforschung E
    Neuer Nachrichtenbrief der Gesellschaft für Exilforschung e. V. Nr. 28 ISSN 0946-1957 Dezember 2006 In eigener Sache Auch Forschungsthemen erleben ihre Gezeiten, Ebbe und Flut, modischer ausgedrückt: ihre Kon- junkturen. Die Exilforschung bildet da keine Ausnahme. In den letzten Jahren wurde wiederholt die herrschende Ebbe beklagt, also ein Mangel an sinnvollen Themen und Fragestellungen, fehlende Initiativen, ein geringes Forschungsinteresse. Von Persönlichkeiten außerhalb unserer Gesellschaft wurde auch eine angebliche Erstarrung unserer eigenen Aktivitäten kritisiert, wobei diese Kritik natürlich auch unsere eigenen internen Diskussionen aufgriff. Von den Tiden ist immer auch der Neue Nachrichtenbrief betroffen. Es gehen bei Ebbe weniger Beiträge ein; die Ankündigungen versiegen, weil einfach weniger stattfindet und zu vermelden ist. Das hat wiederum Auswirkungen auf Umfang und Seitenzahl der Einzelnummern. Es gab Zeiten, in denen (meistens im Sommer) die Ausgabe nur 16 Seiten umfasste. Erlebte die Exilforschung eine Hausse, konnten es (meistens im Winter) schon 24 Seiten sein. Die vorliegende Ausgabe hat mit 20 Seiten wieder ein gutes Mittelmaß erreicht. An den vielen Beiträgen ist zu erkennen, was und wie viel im Bereich der Exilforschung doch (noch oder wie- der) geschieht. Die Zahl der angekündigten Veröffentlichungen und Hochschularbeiten ist so lang wie noch nie. Die Rückschau zeigt auf, wie viele Veranstaltungen zum Thema Exil und Emigra- tion hinter uns liegen, die Vorschau lässt ahnen, was alles für die Zukunft geplant ist. Von Ebbe kann eben keine Rede sein. Das Einzige, was nachdenklich macht, ist der Mangel an Suchanzei- gen. Forscht niemand mehr? Oder sind alle Quellenprobleme gelöst? Oder kennen Wissenschaft- ler, die unserer Gesellschaft nicht angehören, nicht die Möglichkeit, im Neuen Nachrichtenbrief kostenlose (und meistens erfolgreiche) Suchanzeigen zu schalten? Trotzdem gibt die vorliegende Ausgabe unseres Mitteilungsblattes Anlass zur Hoffnung.

No part of this thesis has been submitted for any other degree or professional qualification. Marc Di Sotto, MA (Hons) MSc Abstract This thesis investigates the problem of historical representation in the context of the contemporary turns to trauma and memory visible in cultural theory and in wider popular culture and contemporaneous with post-Cold war ‘end of history’ discourse. Rather than apply the theories of trauma to readings of contemporary texts, the present study proposes that trauma theory be seen as part of the wider cultural tendency towards memorialization, characterized by a privileging of the notion of witnessing, an emphasis on the punctuality of the traumatic moment, and the fetishization of the historical trace.
