When it comes to historical violence and contemporary inequality, none of us are completely innocent. We may not be direct agents of harm, but we may still contribute to, inhabit, or benefit from regimes of domination that we neither set up nor control. Arguing that the familiar categories of victim, perpetrator, and bystander do not adequately account for our connection to injustices past and present, Michael Rothberg offers a new theory of political responsibility through the figure of the implicated subject. The Implicated Subject builds on the comparative, transnational framework of Rothberg's influential work on memory to engage in reflection and analysis of cultural texts, archives, and activist movements from such contested zones as transitional South Africa, contemporary Israel/Palestine, post-Holocaust Europe, and a transatlantic realm marked by the afterlives of slavery. As these diverse sites of inquiry indicate, the processes and histories illuminated by implicated subjectivity are legion in our interconnected world. An array of globally prominent artists, writers, and thinkers—from William Kentridge, Hito Steyerl, and Jamaica Kincaid, to Hannah Arendt, Primo Levi, Judith Butler, and the Combahee River Collective—speak to this interconnection and show how confronting our own implication in difficult histories can lead to new forms of internationalism and long-distance solidarity.

La 4e de couverture indique : "Mémoire multidirectionnelle constitue un tournant à la fois dans le travail de Michael Rothberg et dans la façon de concevoir les mémoires plurielles : en dépit des instrumentalisations politiques dont celles-ci peuvent faire l'objet et de leur caractère parfois antagoniste, il s'agit de les considérer non plus seulement dans leur dimension de conflit ou de concurrence, mais à travers les dialogues, les interférences et les imbrications qui se tissent entre elles en réponse aux événements du présent. Le concept dynamique de mémoire multidirectionnelle apporte un éclairage nouveau sur la relation entre mémoire et histoire d'une part, mémoire et identité de l'autre, en retraçant les voies complexes, souvent détournées, que suivent les héritages des événements traumatiques pour se construire dans l'espace public. Mémoire multidirectionnelle fournit également de nouveaux outils pour penser le lien entre mémoires individuelle et collective et propose de nouveaux cadres conceptuels pour éclairer la postérité des violences de masse et construire une épistémologie de la mémoire."

Talking about the Holocaust has provided an international language for ethics, victimization, political claims, and constructions of collective identity. As part of a worldwide vocabulary, that language helps set the tenor of the era of globalization. This volume addresses manifestations of Holocaust-engendered global discourse by critically examining their function and inherent dilemmas, and the ways in which Holocaust related matters still instigate public debate and academic deliberation. It contends that the contradiction between the totalizing logic of globalization and the assumed uniqu

After Representation? explores one of the major issues in Holocaust studiesùthe intersection of memory and ethics in artistic expression, particularly within literature. As experts in the study of literature and culture, the scholars in this collection examine the shifting cultural contexts for Holocaust representation and reveal how writersùwhether they write as witnesses to the Holocaust or at an imaginative distance from the Nazi genocideùarticulate the shadowy borderline between fact and fiction, between event and expression, and between the condition of life endured in atrocity and the hope of a meaningful existence. What imaginative literature brings to the study of the Holocaust is an ability to test the limits of language and its conventions. After Representation? moves beyond the suspicion of representation and explores the changing meaning of the Holocaust for different generations, audiences, and contexts.
