An Unexpected Fraternity: An Approach to Holocaust Memoirs in English Through Animal Metaphorization
2021
espanolEste trabajo examina textos autobiograficos escritos por supervivientes de los campos de concentracion nazis con el objetivo de explorar la metaforizacion de los animales como medio para transmitir el sufrimiento de los autores. Los autores estudiados emigraron a Estados Unidos despues de la guerra y eligieron significativamente el ingles, una lengua extranjera, para relatar la experiencia traumatica, una tarea indudablemente dificil. Puesto que la discusion academica sobre el Holocausto se desarrolla principalmente en un marco anglofono, es vital que prestemos atencion a las memorias redactadas originalmente en ingles, y que escuchemos las palabras genuinas de los supervivientes, en…
Translating the Memory of the Holocaust: Thomas Geve’s Memoir
2020
espanolThis paper explores the most significant challenges of translating the memory of the Holocaust, focusing on the difficulties of transferring a survivor’s testimonial account to a different linguistic and cultural system. Because the concentration camp experience is inherently multicultural, and survivors have chosen to pen their ordeal in several languages, translation epitomizes a discipline that intertwines directly with the construction of universal collective memory. Consequently, translating Holocaust memoirs poses challenging questions on hermeneutics and deontology. Throughout the following pages, I will critically analyze my own Spanish rendition of Thomas Geve’s memoir, Guns…
Víctimas y verdugos en Shoah (Claude Lanzmann, 1985). Genealogía y análisis de un estado de la memoria del Holocausto
2015
Shoah supuso una ruptura en el modo de concebir y representar el acontecimiento y sus protagonistas y dio un impulso grande, por motivos sobre todo de carácter moral, al proceso de desdoblamiento de la figura del testigo en dos nuevos sujetos antagónicos, la víctima y el verdugo, de tal modo que puede decirse que inicia un nuevo régimen de memoria, desde entonces centrado en las víctimas. El trabajo destaca los dos principios éticos que están detrás de los objetivos del director y las derivaciones estéticas a las que dan lugar. Describe el contexto histórico y cinematográfico de la película para preparar el terreno al análisis crítico sobre la representación de la víctimas y el verdugo en l…

Introducing Teenagers to a Dialogue with Judaism as the Task of School Catechesis
2014
This analysis proves that introducing teenagers to a dialogue with Judaism is one of catechesis’s tasks. This task has been outlined in the post-conciliar documents of the Catholic Church. It underlines the spiritual ties between Catholic people and the Jews and promotes forming an attitude of openness towards followers of the Mosaic religion. It also contributes to mitigating anti-Semitism among Catholic teenagers. At the same time, it raises interest in Jewish traditions and culture. In the religion syllabus in lower and post-secondary schools we can come across numerous references (mainly indirect) to Judaism. The focus on passing honest knowledge about Judaism can be also clearly visibl…

Jews in the discourse of the Catholic Church The article describes the most important changes which appeared after the Second Vatican Council in the discourse of the Catholic Church in reference to its attitude to confessors of Judaism. The change is the difference between the state of texts in two different moments, which is why the first part of the article is dedicated to the characteristics of pre-Council (and mostly pre-war) discourse about Jews, and the second part to main directions of the changes caused by the realization of the Council postulates. The third part shows indications of the continuation of old, deep-rooted schemes. The analysis partly concerns texts of the Church world…

Les lieux de mémoire victimaire en Europe : une culture commune et concurrente
2020
Since the 1990s, memorials and museums devoted to the victims of the massacres perpetrated in the twentieth century have multiplied in Europe, then in the world. This social, political and cultural fact is new. It reveals a radical change in historical representation where for centuries, only the victorious hero was celebrated in official history. In this context, specific memory sites, called “victim memory places”, have emerged. The Second World War is the turning point in this history of memory. The memory of the Holocaust is the model. But other memories, often competing, have also developed recently.This study proposes to record this break in the long duration of the history. Where doe…
From art after Auschwitz towards a sociology of disrespect of Buchenwald
2017
The aesthetic works of the Frankfurt School receive little attention by contemporary sociology. However, the article shows the relevance of aesthetic theory for a critical understanding of the social world. Therefore, we introduce the contradictions presented by critical theory of society especially after Auschwitz and we ask ourselves about how to conceive the inconceivable when the tools of Enlightenment are intrinsically guilty. Finally, we propose a mosaic of aesthetic sociology of disrespect as an option to overcome the paradoxes of Auschwitz. This procedure is related to the artistic production around the concentration camp of Buchenwald.
YIZKEREM. May Our Lord Remember Them (from Hebrew), for acappella mixed choir
2021
La obra YIZKEREM (del hebreo: Que nuestro Señor los recuerde) es un monumento al Holocausto de la nación judía. Dado que la compositora, Bracha Bdil, pertenece a la comunidad ortodoxa de Europa del Este, muchas de sus obras se basan en la tradición musical de los modos judíos de Europa del Este y los textos de estas fuentes. La fusión de la técnica compositiva contemporánea con los elementos de la antigua tradición judía conduce a la compositora a un lenguaje compositivo muy personal.
