Baker M.A., Bowling Green State University, 2000 M.A., Karl Franzens University, Graz, Austria, 1998 Committee Chair: Katharina Gerstenberger ABSTRACT “The Return of the Child Exile: Re-enactment of Childhood Trauma in Jewish Life- Writing and Documentary Film” is a study of the literary responses of writers who were Jewish children in hiding and exile during World War II and of documentary films on the topic of refugee children and children in exile. The goal of this dissertation is to investigate the relationships between trauma, memory, fantasy and narrative in a close reading/viewing of different forms of Jewish life-writing and documentary film by means of a scientifically informed approach to childhood trauma. Chapter 1 discusses the reception of Binjamin Wilkomirski’s Fragments (1994), which was hailed as a paradigmatic traumatic narrative written by a child survivor before it was discovered to be a fictional text based on the author’s invented Jewish life-story.

Goethe-Universität / Fritz Bauer Institut Frankfurt am Main, 2010 www.wollheim-memorial.de Annette Weinke: Background of the Judicial Process, p. 1 Allied Prosecution On November 13, 1948, a good three months after the beginning of the trial of 24 board members and executives of the I.G. Farben conglomerate—one of the Subsequent Nuremberg Trials—Norbert Wollheim was cross-examined before American Military Tribunal VI.1 Because the former Monowitz prisoner, in one of his affidavits, had previously stated that the foremen of Mannesmann Röhren- werke, a Berlin-based manufacturer of seamless steel tubes, had treated their Jewish forced laborers for the most part with a certain sympathy and considera- tion, he now was requested to describe his experiences with the I.G. Farben per- sonnel. Wollheim indicated that not only had the Farben people been heavily op- posed to Jews and other concentration camp inmates, but they had even been chosen for work in Auschwitz for that very reason. Wollheim recalled one incident when several foremen, together with a kapo, had thrashed a Dutch Jew so badly that he died of his injuries. In response, the presiding judge asked whether Woll- heim believed that the Farben management had instructed its employees or al- lowed them to beat concentration camp inmates to death. Wollheim‘s reply was that there had been no need for a specific directive, as all the prisoners, regard- less of nationality or level of education, were beaten constantly.

I was born on l9th May, l9O9, in Hampstead, London. My mother, at that time, must have been l9. She married my father when she was l7, and I was the second child. She, herself, was born in Nürnburg and her name was Wertheimer. She was, in fact, the first girl in Germany to pass the Abitur when that exam became available to ladies. My mother then was Wertheimer, and my father was Wertheim, and he was born, in fact, in Moscow, when his father, as a German, was American Consul to Moscow, which sounds very complicated, but that's as it was.

  • Subjectivity in American Popular Metal: Contemporary Gothic, the Body, the Grotesque, and the Child
    CORE Metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk Provided by Glasgow Theses Service Subjectivity In American Popular Metal: Contemporary Gothic, The Body, The Grotesque, and The Child. Sara Ann Thomas MA (Hons) Submitted in fulfilment for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy Faculty of Arts University of Glasgow January 2009 © Sara Thomas 2009 Abstract This thesis examines the subject in Popular American Metal music and culture during the period 1994-2004, concentrating on key artists of the period: Korn, Slipknot, Marilyn Manson, Nine Inch Nails, Tura Satana and My Ruin. Starting from the premise that the subject is consistently portrayed as being at a time of crisis, the thesis draws on textual analysis as an under appreciated approach to popular music, supplemented by theories of stardom in order to examine subjectivity. The study is situated in the context of the growing area of the contemporary gothic, and produces a model of subjectivity specific to this period: the contemporary gothic subject. This model is then used throughout to explore recurrent themes and richly symbolic elements of the music and culture: the body, pain and violence, the grotesque and the monstrous, and the figure of the child, representing a usage of the contemporary gothic that has not previously been attempted. Attention is also paid throughout to the specific late capitalist American cultural context in which the work of these artists is situated, and gives attention to the contradictions inherent in a musical form which is couched in commodity culture but which is highly invested in notions of the ‘Alternative’. In the first chapter I propose the model of the contemporary gothic subject for application to the work of Popular Metal artists of the period, drawing on established theories of the contemporary gothic and Michel Foucault’s theory of confession.
