Thesis (Ph.D.)--University of California, Santa Cruz, 1983.

This study consists of four principal sections: "The Task of Holocaust Literary Criticism," an examination of the critical perspectives of this literature to date and a detailed proposal of the alternative critical direction I pursue; "The Aims of Holocaust Literature and Its Writers," a survey of the aesthetic, literary, social, and psychological impulses underlying the creation of this literature, leading to a phenomenology of Holocaust writing; "Literature as Document," an essay on the question of referential authority in Holocaust literature, in which I de-emphasize its testimonial function in favor of its powers of exegesis and interpretation; "The Epistemological Uses of Holocaust Metaphor," an essay on the interpretive and structural aspects of the tropic mode in Holocaust writing.Subjects--Topical Terms:

520 $a This study consists of four principal sections: "The Task of Holocaust Literary Criticism," an examination of the critical perspectives of this literature to date and a detailed proposal of the alternative critical direction I pursue; "The Aims of Holocaust Literature and Its Writers," a survey of the aesthetic, literary, social, and psychological impulses underlying the creation of this literature, leading to a phenomenology of Holocaust writing; "Literature as Document," an essay on the question of referential authority in Holocaust literature, in which I de-emphasize its testimonial function in favor of its powers of exegesis and interpretation; "The Epistemological Uses of Holocaust Metaphor," an essay on the interpretive and structural aspects of the tropic mode in Holocaust writing.
520 $a After exploring the inter-related problems of the literary and historical interpretations of the Holocaust, I conclude that these two pursuits eventually conjoin in what might be called the study of "literary historiography." This dissertation thus addresses the literature of the Holocaust and its criticism as an extended, single text, each expounding the Holocaust in its own way: literature by enacting narrative modes, archetypes, and forms that expound the Holocaust even as they would express it; literary criticism by abstracting and explicating the ways the events of the Holocaust have been literarily and cognitively organized. Through a close reading of specific literary responses written both during the events of the Holocaust (e.g., diaries, journals, letters) and after (e.g., memoirs, fiction, poetry), I attempt to establish a critical hermeneutic that might disclose pre-existing models and codes--in the forms of perceived historical precedents, religious narrative, and cultural archetypes--that have projected meaning onto the events of the Holocaust and which, in so doing, have made certain responses by the victims--and now by the survivors and readers--more likely. The aim of this study is thus to explore both the meaning literature projects onto the Holocaust and the actions that ensue from this meaning. This is to propose that the "history of the Holocaust" is not only shaped after the fact through its events' narrativization, but that these events are actually determined by the schematic ways in which they have been apprehended, expressed, and then acted upon: the ways history is literarily and structurally mapped might thus be said to weave themselves back into the course of historical events.
