Search & Research, Lectures and Papers 5: Holocaust diaries as “Life Stories”

Amos Goldberg

NIS 52.00

Drawing on linguistics, philosophy, epistemology, cultural politics, life stories theory and more, Goldberg explores how these subjects function in Holocaust diaries and the paradox of narrating a process of “ceasing to exist as a human being” under the Nazis. How does the construction of human identity through narration occur in a situation of brutal, meaningless violence? Conclusions discuss “human” identity, “subject” and other issues.
