Neorealism and the "New" ItalyCompassion in Survival in Auschwitz

Neorealism and the "New" Italy: Compassion in Survival in Auschwitz [This chapter examines the conditions created by the Italian anti-Semitic racial laws (1937) and the concentration camps, which provide the most extreme context for examining compassion. Although scholarly studies generally approach Survival in Auschwitz by Primo Levi and Smoke over Birkenau by Liana Millu as Holocaust art, these texts clearly incorporate key components of neorealist aesthetics. In order to analyze Levi’s text, the following themes are examined: the relations between compassion and imagination, national and ethnic differences. The critical works of Richard Wollheim and Daniel Putnam are employed in analyzing compassion’s relation to imagination and thought.] http://www.deepdyve.com/assets/images/DeepDyve-Logo-lg.png

Abstract

[This chapter examines the conditions created by the Italian anti-Semitic racial laws (1937) and the concentration camps, which provide the most extreme context for examining compassion. Although scholarly studies generally approach Survival in Auschwitz by Primo Levi and Smoke over Birkenau by Liana Millu as Holocaust art, these texts clearly incorporate key components of neorealist aesthetics. In order to analyze Levi’s text, the following themes are examined: the relations between compassion and imagination, national and ethnic differences. The critical works of Richard Wollheim and Daniel Putnam are employed in analyzing compassion’s relation to imagination and thought.]
