摘要:The author comments on some fundamental issues connected to the representation of the bodily experience within Holocaust literature as a particular kind of writing based on two paradigms: the ethical one,blurring common definitions of fiction and fictionality (including the definition of somatic reality in autobiographical,quasi-autobiographical and fictional Holocaust narratives),and the body-mind one,funding the discourse of dignity within the death camps (intellectual resistance being presented as the only possible one within the sub-human treatment of the body). The author,while recognizing validity of both,demands a recognition of bodily aspects of Holocaust literature.
