This anthology addresses the relationship between the events of the Nazi genocide and the intellectual concerns of contemporary literary and à prix réduit cultural theory in one volume. It collects together both classic and new theoretical writings. Wide in its thematic scope, it covers questions to do with: authenticity and experience; memory and trauma; historiography and the philosophy of history; fascism and Nazi antisemitism; representation and identity formation; race, gender and genocide; and the implications of the Holocaust for theories of the unconscious, ethics, politics and aesthetics. The readings, which are fully contextualized by a general introduction, section introductions and bibliographical notes, represent the work of many influental writers and theorists among them: Primo Levi; Giorgio Agamben; Hannah Arendt; Cathy Caruth; Saul Friedlander; Emmanuel Levinas; Jean-Francois Lyotard; and Theodor Adorno..
