Emotions and Conventions. On Narrations of the Holocaust Victims and Their Children Beata Przymuszała: Smugi Zagłady. Emocjonalne i konwencjonalne aspekty tekstów ofiar i ich dzieci. Poznań, Wydawnictwo Naukowe UAM, 2016, ss. 369.
The review is devoted to a book Smugi Zagłady. Emocjonalne i konwencjonalne aspekty tekstów ofiar i ich dzieci, written by Beata Przymuszała. Trails of the Holocaust, mentioned in the title, evoke a blurred, unclear image that is permanently present even though it can at times go unnoticed for various reasons. Particular chapters present a variety of aspects and degrees of this presence. The author takes up the problem of the wounded Jewish identity, explains why Holocaust literature did not reject the conventional means of expression, and analyses various approaches to trauma. The interpretations draw attention to the issue of intense affective components of texts and the means which let the experiences be expressed.
