The prism of interdisciplinary and intertextual approach, and within the broader understanding of the term holocaust, the excerption of the Jewish question and its “special treatment” within the Nazi plan and the Second World War, provided our subject of discussion, through its central axis - the Holocaust, to penetrate, most expectedly, into two other broader frames with chronological portent: pre-Holocaust and post-Holocaust theoretic thought. The approach towards the question of the Holocaust theme is realized through the prism of the repetitive power of the general question: did the Holocaust create a so-called absent space for one of the most ancient cultures in the world in Macedonia? Or: To what degree does the political action of the irresponsible “concept of the Holocaust” present the chronotope of silence, which prevents continuous articulation of the past in this specific historical moment? How did the Holocaust in Macedonia mark the “presence then” as a paradigmatic vacuum-space in the continuity of spiritual and material biography and autobiography of the Jewish narrative in the future? To what degree and how did this historical fact provide a reconstruction of the past in the present? To what extent do political terror and death camps signify an interruption in the function of the sacral and material aspects of history within the frames of a diachronic vertical, inscribed not only by the metaphor of terror, violence, disappearance, oblivion, but rather by the degree to which it remained sealed with the colonial aspect of death? | | Record link: | https://library.seeu.edu.mk/index.php?lvl=notice_display&id=16680 |
