On 18 July 1943, one-hundred and twenty Jews were transported from the concentration camp at Drancy to the Lvitan furniture store building in the middle of Paris. These were the first detainees of three satellite camps (Lvitan, Austerlitz, Bassano) in Paris. Between July 1943 and August 1944, nearly eight hundred prisoners spent a few weeks to a year in one of these buildings, previously been used to store furniture, and were subjected to forced labor. Although the history of the persecution and deportation of France's Jews is well known, the three Parisian satellite camps have been subjected to the silence of both memory and history. This lack of attention by the most authoritative voices on the subject can perhaps be explained by the absence of a collective memory or by the marginal status of the Parisian detainees - the spouses of Aryans, wives of prisoners of war, half-Jews. Still, the Parisian camps did, and continue to this day, lack simple and straightforward descriptions. This book is a much needed study of these camps and is witness to how, sixty years after the events, expressing this memory remains a complex, sometimes painful process, and speaking about it a struggle.

In ‘Paris-Austerlitz’ van Rafael Chirbes kijkt een jonge schilder uit de gegoede middenklasse van Madrid terug op zijn verhouding met Michel, een wat oudere arbeider, in Parijs. Zelf was de schilder op de bonnefooi naar Parijs gegaan om zich los te maken van zijn familie. Michel biedt hem zijn bescheiden onderkomen, zijn bed en zijn liefde. Onbezorgd en gelukkig zijn ze samen. Tot de tegenstellingen toch te groot blijken: afkomst, opvoeding en leeftijd gaan in de weg zitten, en aan de onschuld komt een eind. En nu ligt Michel, die de jongeman redde van de eenzaamheid en hem zijn trots teruggaf, in het ziekenhuis. Ingedikt tot het uiterste, schreef Chirbes met Paris-Austerlitz een intense roman over de liefde.

Few essays about the Holocaust are better known or more important than Primo Levi's reflections on what he called "the gray zone," a reality in which moral ambiguity and compromise were pronounced. In this volume accomplished Holocaust scholars, among them Raul Hilberg, Gerhard L. Weinberg, Christopher Browning, Peter Hayes, and Lynn Rapaport, explore the terrain that Levi identified. Together they bring a necessary interdisciplinary focus to bear on timely and often controversial topics in cutting-edge Holocaust studies that range from historical analysis to popular culture. While each essay utilizes a particular methodology and argues for its own thesis, the volume as a whole advances the claim that the more we learn about the Holocaust, the more complex that event turns out to be. Only if ambiguities and compromises in the Holocaust and its aftermath are identified, explored, and at times allowed to remain--lest resolution deceive us--will our awareness of the Holocaust and its implications be as full as possible.

From one of the undisputed masters of world literature, a haunting novel of sublime ambition and power about a man whose fragmentary memories of a lost childhood lead him on a quest across Europe in search of his heritage. Jacques Austerlitz is a survivor – rescued as a child from the Nazi threat. In the summer of 1939 he arrives in Wales to live with a Methodist minister and his wife. As he grows up, they tell him nothing of his origins, and he reaches adulthood with no understanding of where he came from. Late in life, a sudden memory brings him the first glimpse of his origins, launching him on a journey into a family history that has been buried. The story of Jacques Austerlitz unfolds over the course of a 30-year conversation that takes place in train stations and travellers’ stops across England and Europe. In Jacques Austerlitz, Sebald embodies the universal human search for identity, the struggle to impose coherence on memory, a struggle complicated by the mind’s defences against trauma. Along the way, this novel of many riches dwells magically on a variety of subjects – railway architecture, military fortifications, insects, plants and animals, the constellations, works of art, a small circus and the three cities that loom over the book, London, Paris and Prague – in the service of its astounding vision.

Il narratore di questa storia, un giovane pittore madrileno di famiglia benestante e affiliato al Partito comunista, ricorda, in una confessione che forse deve a se stesso, e nella quale a volte sembra volersi giustificare, i passi che l’hanno portato a chiudere la sua relazione con Michel. Michel, l’uomo maturo, di cinquant’anni e passa, l’operaio specializzato, con la solidità del corpo di un contadino normanno; l’uomo che lo ha accolto nella sua casa, nel suo letto, nella sua vita, quando il giovane pittore era rimasto senza un tetto a Parigi; Michel, il cui amore gli ha restituito l’orgoglio e lo ha liberato dall’abbandono, oggi è agonizzante all’ospedale Saint-Louis, ghermito dalla piaga, la temuta e vergognosa malattia. Nei ricordi del giovane di allora prevalgono quei giorni felici dell’inizio di tutto. Il girovagare per le strade di Parigi, le bevute finché durava lo stipendio, le amicizie spensierate, il desiderio che avvampava, e allora la catapecchia che appariva come l’accogliente tana della passione. Ma con il trascorrere dei mesi, l’appartamentino senza luce inizia a essere asfissiante e le tele rimaste bianche, posate contro le pareti, ricordano al giovane che non può affogare le aspirazioni nel bicchiere di Pastis, né in amoreggiamenti che sente sempre più pesanti, come il corpo massiccio di Michel. Romanzo di annichilente crudezza e al contempo di vibrante sensibilità, breve quanto denso, narrazione che si erge al di sopra del caso specifico, assurgendo a emblema universale dell’amore lacerante, di un’intensità che stordisce e suscita il rimpianto per l’autore che ne ha fatto il proprio testamento letterario: Rafael Chirbes ci ha lavorato per decenni, lo ha concluso alle soglie della morte.

This book situates the film-maker Patrick Keiller alongside the writers W.G. Sebald and Iain Sinclair as the three leading voices in 'English psychogeography', offering new insights to key works including London, The Rings of Saturn, and Lights Out for the Territory. Excavating social and political contexts while also providing plentiful close analysis, it examines the cultivation of a distinctive 'affective' mode or sensibility especially attuned to the cultural anxieties of the twentieth century's closing decades. Landscape and Subjectivity explores motifs including essayism, the reconciliation of creativity with market forces, and the foregrounding of an often agonised or melancholic. It asks whether the work can, collectively, be seen to constitute a 'critical theory of contemporary space' and suggests that Keiller, Sebald, and Sinclair's contributions represent a highly significant moment in English culture's engagement with landscape, environment, and itself. The book's analyses are fuelled by archival and topographical research and are responsive to various interdisciplinary contexts, including the tradition of the 'English Journey', the set of ideas associated with the 'spatial turn', critical theory, the so-called 'heritage debate', and more recent theorisation of the 'anthropocene'.

Occupying Space in American Literature and Culture inscribes itself within the spatial turn that permeates the ways we look at literary and cultural productions. The volume seeks to clarify the connections between race, space, class, and identity as it concentrates on different occupations and disoccupations, enclosures and boundaries. Space is scaled up and down, from the body, the ground zero of spatiality, to the texturology of Manhattan; from the striated place of the office in Melville’s "Bartleby, the Scrivener" on Wall Street, to the striated spaces of internment camps and reservations; from the lowest of the low, the (human) clutter that lined the streets of Albany, NY, during the Depression, to the new Towers of Babel that punctuate the contemporary architecture of transparencies. As it strings together these spatial narratives, the volume reveals how, beyond the boundaries that characterize each space, every location has loose ends that are impossible to contain.
