OxTalks will soon move to the new Halo platform and will become 'Oxford Events.' There will be a need for an OxTalks freeze. This was previously planned for Friday 14th November – a new date will be shared as soon as it is available (full details will be available on the Staff Gateway).
In the meantime, the OxTalks site will remain active and events will continue to be published.
If staff have any questions about the Oxford Events launch, please contact halo@digital.ox.ac.uk
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).
