Description
An international group of psychoanalysts and film scholars address the enduring emotional legacy of the Holocaust in Cinematic Reflections on the Legacy of the Holocaust: Psychoanalytic Perspectives.
Particular focus is given to how second and third generation survivors have explored and confronted the psychic reverberations of Holocaust trauma in cinema.
This book focuses on how film is particularly suited to depict Holocaust experiences with vividness and immediacy.
The similarity of moving images and sound to our dream experience allows access to unconscious processing.
Film has the potential to reveal the vast panorama of Holocaust history as well as its intrapsychic reverberations.
Yet despite the recent prominence of Holocaust films, documentaries, and TV series as well as scholarly books and memoirs, these works lack a psychoanalytic optic that elucidates themes such as the repetition compulsion, survival guilt, disturbances in identity, and disruption of mourning that are underlying leitmotifs.
Cinematic Reflections on the Legacy of the Holocaust will be of great interest to psychoanalysts and therapists as well as to scholars in trauma, film, and Jewish studies.
It is also of interest to those concerned with the prevention of genocide and mass atrocities and their long-term effects.
