Rebecca Jinks focuses in particular on the canonical 20th century cases of genocide: Armenia, Cambodia, Bosnia, and Rwanda. Using literature, film, photography, and memorialisation, she demonstrates that we can only understand the Holocaust's status as a 'benchmark' for other genocides if we look at the deeper, structural resonances which subtly shape many representations of genocide. Representing Genocide pursues five thematic areas in turn: how genocides are recognised as such by western publics; the representation of the origins and perpetrators of genocide; how western witnesses represent genocide; representations of the aftermath of genocide; and western responses to genocide. Throughout, the book distinguishes between 'mainstream' and other, more nuanced and engaged, representations of genocide. It shows how these mainstream representations -- the majority -- largely replicate the representational framework of the Holocaust, including the way in which mainstream Holocaust representations resist recognising the rationality, instrumentality and normality of genocide, preferring instead to present it as an aberrant, exceptional event in human society. By contrast, the more engaged representations -- often, but not always, originating from those who experienced genocide -- tend to revolve around precisely genocide's ordinariness, and the structures and situations common to human society which contribute to and become involved in the violence"-- $c Provided by publisher. 520 $a "Analyses the historical and cultural representation of the Armenian, Cambodian, Bosnian and Rwandan genocides and the impact of the Holocaust"-- $c Provided by publisher. 505 8 $a Machine generated contents note: -- 1.
