The concept of "camp narratives" rather than "Holocaust narratives" or "Gulag narratives" is based on the assumption that literary accounts of camp experiences share common traits, aesthetically as well as thematically. The book presents readings of camp literature that underscore the similarities between texts about Soviet gulag camps, Nazi camps and about other camp experiences. While literature about Nazi concentration camps still serves as a point of reference for camp narratives in the same way that the Holocaust serves as a point of reference for other genocidal operations, socialist labor and penal camps have become transnational lieux de mémoire in their own right since 1989. This volume intends to provide a theoretical frame as well as an overview of several important European camp literatures and case studies of iconic camp narratives and to take a comparative and transnational perspective on the genre of the camp narrative.

"The Afterlife of the Shoah in Central and Eastern European Cultures is a collection of essays by literary scholars from Germany and Central Eastern Europe offering insight into the specific ways of representing the Shoah and its aftereffects as well as its entanglement with other catastrophic events in the region. Introducing the conceptual frame of postcatastrophe, the collected essays explore the discursive and artistic space the Shoah occupies in the countries between Moscow and Berlin. Postcatastrophe is informed by the knowledge of other concepts of "post" and shares their insight into forms of transmission and latency; in contrast to them, explores the after-effects of extreme events on a collective, aesthetic, and political rather than a personal level. The articles use the concept of postcatastrophe as a key to understanding the entangled and conflicted cultures of remembrance in postsocialist literatures and the arts dealing with events, phenomena and developments that refuse to remain in the past and still continue to shape perceptions of today's societies in Eastern Europe. As a contribution to memory studies as well as to literary criticism with a special focus on Shoah remembrance after socialism, this book is of great interest to students and scholars of European history, and those interested in historical memory more broadly".

Dieser Band folgt anhand von paradigmatischen Beispielen dem aktuellen Interesse an der Künstlerbiographik und deren Inszenierung als Selbst- wie auch als Fremddarstellung. Die Beiträge untersuchen, wie langlebige Muster tradiert werden, und gehen den Strategien nach, mit denen sich die Künstler_innen geläufigen Narrationen entziehen und damit neue Entwürfe einer künstlerischen Identität entwickeln. Die Texte schauen dabei nicht nur auf gemeinsame Muster über Mediengrenzen hinweg, sondern fragen auch nach der Bedeutung kultureller Differenzen, ob neue Medien neue Selbstdarstellungsformen generieren oder welche Rolle die verschiedenen sozialen wie politischen Öffentlichkeiten für die performativen Konturierungen spielen. Ein sehr lesenswerter Sammelband, der nicht nur visuell von seiner Buchcover-Gestaltung, sondern auch thematisch wunderbar an Lafers und Tippners Publikation ›Leben als Kunstwerk. Künstlerbiografien im 20. Jahrhundert‹ (2011) anschließt.« Silke Schwaiger, www.literaturkritik.de, 18.06.2015 Besprochen in: ARTINVESTOR, 6 (2014) MEDIENwissenschaft, 3 (2015), Ulrich Blanché
