Concentrationary Cinema: Aesthetics as Political Resistance in Alain Resnais’s 'Night and Fog' (1955)
This output consists of the following elements: the Introduction, Silverman’s own chapter, and his research contribution to the volume. This volume is the first major outcome of the AHRC-funded project ‘Concentrationary Memories and the Politics of Representation’ (Pollock and Silverman). This volume is the result of an eighteen-month seminar on the first part of the project devoted to the film 'Nuit et brouillard', which engaged with the project’s reframing of the film as an aesthetic and political response to the concentrationary universe, rather than seeing it as the first major film about the Holocaust.
