Förlagets beskrivning
This book charts the performative dimension of the Holocaust memorialization culture through a selection of representative artistic, educational, and memorial projects.Performative practice refers to the participatory and performance-like aspects of the Holocaust memorial culture, the transformative potential of such practice, and its impact upon visitors. At its core, performative practice seeks to transform individuals from passive spectators into socially and morally responsible agents. This edited volume explores how performative practices came into being, what impact they exert upon audiences, and how researchers can conceptualise and understand their relevance. In doing so, the contributors to this volume innovatively draw upon existing philosophical considerations of performativity, understandings of performance in relation to performativity, and upon critical insights emerging from visual and participatory arts.The chapters in this book were originally published as a special issue of Holocaust Studies: A Journal of Culture and History
