A one-day workshop on:
Concentrationary memories and the politics of representation
Event Date: Wednesday June 2nd 2010
* Professor Max Silverman - Fearful imagination: “Night and Fog” and concentrationary memory
* Matthew John – Self-Conscious Cinema: “Night and Fog” and Concentrationary Art
* Professor Griselda Pollock – The Concept of the concentrationary imaginary: possibilities and problems
* Benjamin Hannavy Cousen -
Isn’t this where…? Projections on Pink Floyd’s Wall: the Existence of and Resistance to the Concentrationary Imaginary
The four papers presented work on the concentrationary memories project at Leeds university, a four-year project funded by the AHRC to explore the nature and legacy of art’s response to the concentrationary terror instigated during the Second World War. The project uses the film ‘Night and Fog’, made in 1955 by the French film director Alain Resnais, to explore the ways in which artists, writers and film-makers in the post-war period responded to the concentrationary system of terror and goes on to suggest how a concentrationary imaginary has infiltrated contemporary popular culture.
