Abstract

The Historical Uncanny explores how certain memories become inscribed into the heritage of a country or region while others are suppressed or forgotten. In response to the erasure of historical memories that discomfit a public's self-understanding, this book proposes the historical uncanny as that which resists reification precisely because it cannot be assimilated to dominant discourses of commemoration. Focusing on the problems of representation and reception, the book explores memorials for two marginalized aspects of Holocaust: the Nazi euthanasia program directed against the mentally ill and disabled and the Fascist persecution of Slovenes, Croats, and Jews in and around Trieste. Reading these memorials together with literary and artistic texts, Knittel redefines "sites of memory" as assemblages of cultural artifacts and discourses that accumulate over time; they emerge as a physical and a cultural space that is continually redefined, rewritten, and re-presented. In bringing perspectives from disability studies and postcolonialism to the question of memory, Knittel unsettles our understanding of the Holocaust and its place in the culture of contemporary Europe.--Provided by publisher.

Abstract

Pour la plupart des Français qui l’ont vécue, la période de l’Occupation évoque en premier lieu l’immense difficulté à vivre au quotidien. La pénurie des produits de première nécessité, soumis à un rationnement de plus en plus sévère, oblige nombre d’entre eux à élaborer de véritables stratégies de survie. La faim, dont le spectre avait cessé de hanter les imaginaires, redevient une expérience largement partagée et structure bien des existences recentrées sur la satisfaction au jour le jour des besoins vitaux. Or si les historiens admettent que les difficultés de ravitaillement et les « privations » ont joué un grand rôle dans la montée des oppositions au régime de Vichy, ils ne se sont guère intéressés aux victimes de la « famine lente ». Difficiles à dénombrer, celles-ci ne sont pas prises en compte dans les statistiques des victimes du conflit. C’est à cette lacune que remédie cet ouvrage qui tente d’identifier tous ceux qui, dans la France occupée, sont morts de faim, de froid mais aussi de pathologies afférentes à la dénutrition (tuberculose en particulier). Parce que, trop isolés ou trop fragiles, ils n’avaient pas les moyens financiers, physiques et/ou psychiques de remporter cette épuisante « course aux calories » à laquelle il fallait se livrer pour survivre. Les auteurs se penchent sur le sort des « pensionnaires » de collectivités, hospitalières (hospices de vieillards, hôpitaux généraux, sanatoriums) et non-hospitalières (prisons, camps d’internement), en mettant l’accent sur celui des aliénés internés dans les hôpitaux psychiatriques qui ont payé le plus lourd tribut à la sousalimentation. Ils analysent également le devenir des groupes socialement et biologiquement les plus vulnérables de la population des grandes villes et les ripostes, sélectives, mises en oeuvre par les autorités pour atténuer les effets des restrictions sur la santé publique.
