9783034308564 - A Legacy of Shame: French Narratives of War and Occupation von Kitchen, Ruth (1 Ergebnisse)

Originalpappband. Zustand: Sehr gut. VIII, 191 S. Over seventy years since the invasion, France is still preoccupied on both a political and a cultural level with the guilt and shame of the Nazi Occupation. The ethical ambiguities of this era and its aftermath continue to raise political, historical and juridical debates in the present day. This book examines the different expressions of shame in literary and filmic narratives of the war and Occupation produced since the end of the war and explores how over the intervening years these narrative manifestations of the wartime shame of individuals constitute a collective legacy. By legacy, I mean a haunting trajectory over time within each generation and between generations. A legacy of shame recognizes the different 'faces' of collective shame and presents their ^integrated status in collective memory and history.
