speaking of the noose in the country of the hangman
(Theodor W. Adorno).
520 "An interdisciplinary study of a diverse set of public
speeches given by major literary and cultural figures in
the 1950s and 1960s. Through close readings of canonical
speeches by Hannah Arendt, Theodor W. Adorno, Ingeborg
Bachmann, Martin Buber, Paul Celan, Uwe Johnson, Peter
Szondi, and Peter Weiss, Sonja Boos demonstrates that
these speakers both facilitated and subverted the
construction of a public discourse about the Holocaust in
postwar West Germany. The author's analysis of original
audio recordings of the speech events (several of which
will be available on a companion website) improves our
understanding of the spoken, performative dimension of
public speeches. While emphasizing the social
constructedness of discourse, experience, and identity,
Boos does not neglect the pragmatic conditions of
aesthetic and intellectual production--most notably, the
felt need to respond to the breach in tradition caused by
the Holocaust. The book thereby illuminates the process by
which a set of writers and intellectuals, instead of
trying to mend what they perceived as a radical break in
historical continuity or corroborating the myth of a "new
beginning," searched for ways to make this historical
rupture rhetorically and semantically discernible and
literally audible"--|cPublisher's Web site.
