What is Concentrationary Memories: Totalitarian Terror and Cultural Resistance (New Encounters: Arts, Cultures, Concepts) about?
In 1945, French political prisoners returning from the concentration camps of Germany coined the phrase'the concentrationary universe'to describe the camps as a terrible political experiment in the destruction of the human. This book shows how the unacknowledged legacy of a totalitarian mentality has seeped into the deepest recesses of everyday popular culture. It asks if the concentrationary now infests our cultural imaginary, normalizing what was once considered horrific and exceptional by transforming into entertainment violations of human life.
