Introduction

Lucamante, Stefania

Pages: 1 –19

[Several critical and theoretical categories periodically undergo scrutiny within the complex panorama of studies on the literature representing the twentieth-century catastrophe of the Shoah. Still today, 70 years after the event, what remains salient is the pervasive and shared sense of...

The Italian Shoah: Reception and Representation

Lucamante, Stefania

Pages: 23 –46

[At the beginning of the twenty-first century, use of the term Shoah is a contentious matter.1 Shoah or Holocaust is a cultural construction in constant evolving of its concept, both for the individual as for its community. As a testament to the challenges associated with the theoretical...

Not Only Memory: Narrating the Camp between Reality and Fiction

Lucamante, Stefania

Pages: 47 –74

[The year 1986 marked the surge of a strong reaction by Italian survivors against the revisionist wave of Historikerstreit.1 This reaction was channeled in Italy via the organization of the conference La vita offesa: Storia e memoria dei Lager nazisti nei racconti di duecento sopravvissuti...

The Power of Dignity, Or “Writers Out of Necessity”: The Case of Liana Millu and Edith Bruck

Lucamante, Stefania

Pages: 75 –111

[Survivors recover memories of the Shoah in choosing to retell their experiences. Recollection and recounting do not always take a straightforwardly mnemonic and anecdotal form—the writing of memory can also take a literary form: when authors/survivors tell of their experiences using literary...

Lucamante, Stefania

Pages: 113 –149

Le Lacrime: Morante and Her Critics

Lucamante, Stefania

Pages: 153 –163

[Morante’s famous statement that the writer is “an individual whose concern must be everything that happens, except for literature” (“Pro o contro” 97; emphasis original) reflects her intention in the composition of her 1974 anti-illusionist historical novel La Storia: Romanzo (History: A Novel)....

History and Stories: Historical Novels and the Danger of Disintegration

Lucamante, Stefania

Pages: 165 –197

[La Storia’s preparatory drafts do not confirm whether Morante had initially decided by that time to implement the typographic gap between official history and private history as seen in the published version of the text; as such it is possible that this somewhat mystifying element, key to the...

The Burden of Memory: Lezioni di tenebra

Lucamante, Stefania

Pages: 201 –222

[Born in 1964 in Germany to Polish Jewish parents, writer Helena Janeczek considers Italy in all respects to be her adopted country and her central point of cultural reference. Janeczek is an emblematic exponent of second-generation Holocaust writers in that her artistic and public engagement...

Tips against “Numbness” for New Generations: For a Collective Useful Memory of the Shoah and a Global Novel: Janeczek’s Postcolonial Thought

Lucamante, Stefania

Pages: 223 –239

[Helen Epstein’s Children of the Holocaust shares with Helena Janeczek’s Lezioni di tenebra many parameters of investigation used for the retrieval of memory of the event and the significance of this retrieval for the survivors’ children. These are the parameters Maurice Halbwachs points at as...

Conclusions

Lucamante, Stefania

Pages: 241 –248

[Forging Shoah Memories approaches the study of women’s literary representations of the Shoah with the conviction that “intellectual representations are the activity itself” (Said 20).
