"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"-- Holocaust, Jewish (1939-1945) Influence Holocaust, Jewish (1939-1945) Public opinion Speeches, addresses, etc., German History and criticism Public opinion Germany (West) Germany (West) Intellectual life https://ebookcentral.proquest.com/lib/unibern/detail.action?docID=3138700 Uni Bern: Volltext https://www.degruyter.com/openurl?genre=book&isbn=9780801471957 Volltext frei zugänglich https://www.jstor.org/stable/10.7591/j.ctt1287dgh Volltext frei zugänglich https://muse.jhu.edu/book/36907 Volltext frei zugänglich BK020053 XK020053 XK020000 Ebook Central All Subscribed Titles E-Books von 360MarcUpdates De Gruyter Open Access JSTOR eBooks: Open Access Project MUSE Open Access Books IDSBB FREE FREE OL NELFREE1812 IDSBB FREE FREE OL NELFREE1812 IDSBB FREE FREE OL NELFREE1812 IDSBB B405 B405 405VT NELB4052004 IDSBB 100 1- Boos Sonja 1972- author IDSBB 490 0- Signale : modern German letters, cultures, and thought IDSBB 856 40 https://ebookcentral.proquest.com/lib/unibern/detail.action?docID=3138700 Uni Bern: Volltext IDSBB 856 40 https://www.degruyter.com/openurl?genre=book&isbn=9780801471957 Volltext frei zugänglich IDSBB 856 40 https://www.jstor.org/stable/10.7591/j.ctt1287dgh Volltext frei zugänglich IDSBB 856 40 https://muse.jhu.edu/book/36907 Volltext frei zugänglich SWISSBIB 356046699
