Representations of the Holocaust take on many forms, from literature and poetry, through cinema and television, to art and the internet. These challenge us to think beyond traditional understandings of nation and history, medium and genre. This week, we will discuss representations of the Holocaust in places we may not normally expect to see them, such as in comic books, films, and television, based around a reading of Barry Langford’s chapter from Holocaust Intersections.
Barry Langford, ‘Globalizing the Holocaust: Fantasies of Annihilation in Contemporary Media Culture’, Axel Bangert, Roberts S. C. Gordon, Libby Saxton (eds.), Holocaust Intersections: Genocide and Visual Culture at the New Millenium (London: Legenda, 2013).
