Marianne Hirsch Livres
Marianne Hirsch et Leo Spitzer sont des universitaires de premier plan dont les travaux explorent les complexités de la mémoire, de l'histoire familiale et de l'héritage culturel. La recherche de Hirsch examine l'intersection des médias visuels et du récit, étudiant comment la photographie façonne notre compréhension du passé et des souvenirs personnels. Spitzer, avec son approche historique, éclaire les dynamiques complexes entre culture, mémoire et traumatisme, en particulier concernant les expériences de refuge. Ensemble, leurs écrits offrent des perspectives profondes sur la manière dont les individus et les sociétés construisent et préservent leurs héritages.
Can we remember other people's memories? This book argues that we can: that memories of traumatic events live on to mark the lives of those who were not there to experience them. In these revised critical readings of the literary and visual legacies of the Holocaust, Hirsch builds on her influential concept of postmemory.

Known as Czernowitz, the 'Vienna of the East' under the Habsburg empire, this vibrant Jewish-German Eastern European culture vanished after World War II. This memoir chronicles the city's survival in personal, familial, and cultural memory.

Focusing on the interplay between postcolonial memory and colonial narratives, this volume explores how writers from the Caribbean, Africa, and the U.S. confront and reinterpret historical memory in their works from the twentieth and twenty-first centuries. It addresses the urgent issue of contested memory, highlighting how colonial history has suppressed and manipulated collective and individual recollections. Johnson and Brezault contextualize the politics of memory writing, making significant contributions to cultural memory studies and postcolonial discourse.
