Show Me the Shoah!: Generic Experience and Spectatorship in Popular Representations of the Holocaust
Abstract
This essay explores the relationship between the textual features of popular cultural artifacts pertaining to the Holocaust and their reception circumstances. Comparative cultural studies methods are deployed in analyzing a film, Life is Beautiful (Roberto Begnini, 1997); a children’s book, Dr. Seuss’ The Sneetches (1961); and the Jewish Museum Berlin, designed by Daniel Libeskind.
