Reseña del libro "The Long Shadow of the Past: Contemporary Austrian Literature, Film, and Culture (Studies in German Literature Linguistics & Culture) (en Inglés)"
2018 CHOICE Outstanding Academic TitleThe process of coming to terms with its National Socialist past has been a long and difficult one in Austria. It is only over the past thirty years that the country's view of its role during the Third Reich has shifted decisively from that of victimhood to complicity, prompted by the Waldheim affair of 1986-1988. Austria's writers, filmmakers, and artists have been at the center of this process, holding up a mirror to the country's present and drawing attention to a still disturbing past.Katya Krylova's book undertakes close readings of key contemporary Austrian literary texts, films, and memorials that treat the legacy of Nazism and the Holocaust. The analysis focuses on texts by Robert Schindel, Elfriede Jelinek, and Anna Mitgutsch, documentary films by Ruth Beckermann and by Margareta Heinrich and Eduard Erne, as well as recent memorial projects in Vienna, examining what these reveal about the evolving memory culture in contemporary Austria. Aimed at a broad readership, the book will be a key reference point for university teachers, undergraduates, and postgraduates engaged in scholarship on contemporary Austrian literature, film, and visual culture, and for general readers interested in confrontations with the National Socialist past in the Austrian context.KATYA KRYLOVA is Lecturer in German, Film and Visual Culture at the University of Aberdeen, UK. The Long Shadow of the Past is her second book.Table of ContentsIntroduction: Confrontations with the PastMelancholy Journeys to the Past: The Films of Ruth BeckermannReconstructing a Home: Nostalgia in Anna Mitgutsch's Haus der KindheitSilencing the Past: Margarete Heinrich's and Eduard Erne's Totschweigen and Elfriede Jelinek's Rechnitz (Der Wurgeengel)Historicizing the Waldheim Affair: Robert Schindel's Der KalteMissing Images: Memorials and Memorial Projects in Contemporary ViennaConclusion: Living with ShadowsNotesBibliography
