Produktbeschreibung

Beyond MAUS. The Legacy of Holocaust Comics collects 16 contributions that shed new light on the representation of the Holocaust. While MAUS by Art Spiegelman has changed the perspectives, other comics and series of drawings, some produced while the Holocaust happened, are often not recognised by a wider public. A plethora of works still waits to be discovered, like early caricatures and comics referring to the extermination of the Jews, graphic series by survivors or horror stories from 1950s comic books. The volume provides overviews about the depictions of Jews as animals, the representation of prisoner societies in comics as well as in depth studies about distorted traces of the Holocaust in Hergé's Tintin and in Spirou, the Holocaust in Mangas, and Holocaust comics in Poland and Israel, recent graphic novels and the use of these comics in schools. With contributions from different disciplines, the volume also grants new perspectives on comic scholarship. Ole Frahm studied German Literature, History and Psychology in Berlin and Hamburg. Co-founder of the Research Centre for Graphic Literature (ArGL) at the University of Hamburg. Member of the Villigster Forschungsforum zu Nationalsozialismus, Rassismus und Antisemitismus and the German Society for Comics Studies (Comfor). He published about radio and the history, theory, and aesthetics of comics. Genealogie des Holocaust. Art Spiegelmans MAUS - A Survivor's Tale (Paderborn 2006); Die Sprache des Comics (Hamburg 2010).
