Dva lica mistifikacije: predstavljanje Holokausta u delima A Survivor from Warsaw Arnolda Šenberga i Different Trains Stiva Rajša

Abstract

U radu se razmatraju pristupi različitih medija predstavljanju Holokausta, s posebnim osvrtom na umetničku muziku u 20. veku. Prateći podelu koju Majkl Rotberg (Michael Rothberg) predlaže na dva gledišta na mogućnosti predstavljanja Holokausta: realističko i antirealističko (Rothberg 2000), analiziramo dela A Survivor From Warsaw (1947) Arnolda Šenberga i Different Trains (1988) Stiva Rajša. Cilj rada je da ukaže na to kako umetnička muzika reflektuje i participira u dominantnim istorijskim i savremenim diskursima predstavljanja i razumevanja Holokausta, posebno diskursa „herojstvaˮ i „neizrecivostiˮ.

The paper discusses the approaches of different media to Holocaust (re)presentation, with special reference to art music in the 20th century. Following the classification proposed by Michael Rothberg on two possible perspectives for representing the Holocaust: realistic and anti-realist (2000), we analyse two compositions: Arnold Schoenberg’s A Survivor From Warsaw (1947) and Steve Reich’s Different Trains (1988). The aim of the paper is to point out how artistic music reflects and participates in the dominant historical and contemporary discourses of Holocaust representation, especially the discourses of “heroism” and “non-representability”.
