About this ebook:
While Theodor Adorno later rescinded his comments on the barbaric nature of writing poetry after Auschwitz, The Midrashic Impulse and the Contemporary Literary Response to Trauma begins with the possibility that he was in fact right--that we might read his admonition against poetry as a warning against employing representational modes that transgress the boundaries of the ethical when it comes to the Holocaust. There is a language, other than the language of representation, with which we might speak authentically about the Holocaust. This study explores what it means for the world of literature to renounce the language of representation and retain the language of witness. Drawing on the work of Emmanuel Levinas, Maurice Blanchot, Geoffrey Hartman, and even the Native American tradition, special focus is paid to the increasing tendency of contemporary writers to rely on non-representational approaches to reading, writing, and storytelling in the context of collective traumas and tragedies. This tendency is named the "midrashic impulse" given its similarity to the ways in which ancient rabbis and sages approached the gaps and silences of the Hebrew bible through the creation of classical Midrash.
