Storytelling: The Destruction of the Inalienable in the Age of the Holocaust (Suny Series, Lit in Theory)

Rodolphe Gasché

4.9/5 (25315 ratings)

Description:In Storytelling, Rodolphe Gasch� reexamines the muteness of Holocaust survivors, that is, their inability to tell their stories. This phenomenon has not been explained up to now without reducing the violence of the events to which survivors were subjected, on the one hand, and diminishing the specific harm that has been done to them as human beings, on the other. Distinguishing storytelling from testifying and providing information, Gasch� asserts that the utter senselessness of the violence inflicted upon them is what inhibited survivors from making sense of their experience in the form of tellable stories. In a series of readings of major theories of storytelling by three thinkers--Wilhelm Schapp, whose work will be a welcome discovery to many English-speaking audiences, Walter Benjamin, and Hannah Arendt--Gasch� systematically assesses the consequences of the loss of the storytelling faculty, considered by some an inalienable possession of the human, both for the victims' humanity and for philosophy.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
