David Patterson draws from Emmanuel Leninas's contention that the Good cannot be represented. He argues that the assault on the Good is equally nonrepresentable and this nonrepresentable aspect of the Holocaust is its distinguishing feature. Utilizing Jewish religious thought, Patterson examines how the literary word expresses the ineffable and how the photographic image manifests the invisible. Where the Holocaust is concerned, representation is a matter not of imagination but of ethical implication, not of what is was like but of what must be done. Ultimately Patterson provides a deeper understanding of why the Holocaust itself is indefinable--not only as an evil but also as a fundamental assault on the very categories of good adn evil affirmed over centuries of Jewish teaching and testimony--back cover. 611 07 $a Holocaust, Jewish (1939-1945) $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00958866 650 0 $a Holocaust, Jewish (1939-1945) $x Historiography. 650 0 $a Holocaust, Jewish (1939-1945) $x Moral and ethical aspects. 650 0 $a Aesthetics $x Moral and ethical aspects. 650 0 $a Holocaust, Jewish (1939-1945), in literature. 650 0 $a Holocaust, Jewish (1939-1945), and art. 650 0 $a Photographs $x Moral and ethical aspects. 650 0 $a Holocaust, Jewish (1939-1945) $x Influence. 650 7 $a Aesthetics $x Moral and ethical aspects. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00798708 650 7 $a Ethics. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00915833 650 7 $a Historiography. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00958221 650 7 $a Holocaust, Jewish (1939-1945), and art. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00958921 650 7 $a Holocaust, Jewish (1939-1945) in literature. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00958923 650 7 $a Influence (Literary, artistic, etc.) $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00972484 650 7 $a Fotografie. $0 (DE-588)4045895-7 $2 gnd 650 7 $a Judenvernichtung. $0 (DE-588)4073091-8 $2 gnd 650 7 $a Literatur. $0 (DE-588)4035964-5 $2 gnd 648 7 $a 1939-1945 $2 fast 830 0 $a SUNY series in contemporary Jewish thought. 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20191214015113.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=30045ECE2E9411E9B5CB1E4197128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
