Born in Hungary in 1932, she was deported with her family to the concentration camps of Auschwitz, Dachau, Christianstadt, Landsberg, and Bergen-Belsen, where she lost both her parents and a brother. After the war, she traveled widely until 1954 when she settled in Rome. She has lived there ever since.This important new study is motivated by a desire to better understand and situate Bruck's art as well as to advance (and, when necessary, to revise) the critical discourse on her considerable and eclectic body of work. As such, it underscores and analyzes the intermedial nature of her contributions to contemporary Italian culture, which should no longer be understood merely in terms of her willingness to revisit the subject of the Holocaust on the printed page or the silver screen. It also includes previously unpublished interviews with the author. The book will be of broad interest to scholars and students of Jewish (especially Holocaust) studies, Italian literature, film studies, women's studies, and postcolonial culture"-- $c Provided by publisher. 600 10 $a Bruck, Edith $x Criticism and interpretation. 650 7 $a LITERARY CRITICISM / European / Italian. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a LITERARY CRITICISM / Jewish. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a PERFORMING ARTS / Film & Video / History & Criticism. $2 bisacsh 830 0 $a Shofar supplements in Jewish studies. 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231019015050.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=A8E731AA332F11E49E51C4E1DAD10320Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
