Sun Feb 11 22:40:47 GMT 2018




Ingrid Lewis (DkIT, Ireland) is very pleased to announce the publication of her monograph “Women in European Holocaust Films: Perpetrators, Victims and Resisters” (Palgrave Macmillan).

This book considers how women’s experiences have been treated in films dealing with Nazi persecution. Focusing on fiction films made in Europe between 1945 and the present, this study explores dominant discourses on and cinematic representation of women as perpetrators, victims and resisters. Ingrid Lewis contends that European Holocaust Cinema underwent a rich and complex trajectory of change with regard to the representation of women. This change both reflects and responds to key socio-cultural developments in the intervening decades as well as to new directions in cinema, historical research and politics of remembrance. The book will appeal to international scholars, students and educators within the fields of Holocaust Studies, Film Studies, European Cinema and Women’s Studies. “An impressive and overdue entry into Holocaust Studies literature”. (Wendy Lower, Professor of History, Claremont McKenna College, USA) “Demonstrable expertise, clarity of writing, breadth of coverage and sophistication of approach are all notable features of this excellent and important study.” (Barry Langford, Professor of Film Studies, Royal Holloway, University of London, UK) “This book provides a formidable and discerning overview that profoundly alters our understanding of the forms and evolution of the representation of women and their roles—as perpetrators, victims and resisters—in European Holocaust cinema.” (Laura Rascaroli, Professor of Film and Screen Media, University College Cork, Ireland) “Ingrid Lewis endeavours to investigate the representation of women across a considerably diverse range of European Holocaust films, deftly exposing the marginalisation of women in the genre with great skill”.  (Adam Brown, Senior Lecturer in Digital Media at Deakin University, Australia) Please check Palgrave website for reviews, information on the book and/or purchase: https://www.palgrave.com/us/book/9783319650609#reviewsThank you.
