Based on a study of audience responses to select films, Stefanie Rauch demonstrates that the reception of films about the Holocaust is a complex process that we cannot understand through textual analysis alone, but by also paying attention to individual reception processes. This book restores the agency of viewers and takes seriously their diverse responses to representations of the Holocaust. It demonstrates that viewers’ interpretative resources play an important role in film reception. Viewers regard Holocaust films as a separate genre that they encounter with a set of expectations. The author highlights the implications of Britain’s lessons-focused approach to Holocaust education and commemoration and addresses debates around the supposed globalization of Holocaust memory by unpacking the peculiar Britishness of viewers’ responses to films about the Holocaust. A sense of emotional connection or its absence to the Holocaust and its memory speaks to divisions along ethnic, generational, and national lines.Language: EnglishCountry/Region of Manufacture: USItem Height: 239mmItem Length: 164mmItem Width: 20mmItem Weight: 472gAuthor: Stefanie RauchGenre: Society & CultureBook Series: Lexington Studies in Modern Jewish History, Historiography, and MemoryTopic: Social Sciences, History, Films & TVRelease Year: 2020 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
