Geoffrey H. Hartman

    11 de agosto de 1929 – 14 de marzo de 2016

    Geoffrey H. Hartman fue un crítico literario cuyo trabajo abordó a poetas románticos, textos sagrados judaicos, estudios del Holocausto, deconstrucción y el funcionamiento de la memoria. Considerado uno de los eruditos literarios más importantes del mundo, estuvo asociado con la "Escuela de Yale" de teóricos literarios, conocidos por su enfoque arraigado en la deconstrucción. Hartman abogó por que la crítica se situara en pie de igualdad con la literatura, sirviendo como una forma de literatura en sí misma. Su erudición exploró profundamente la naturaleza del trauma, la memoria y el testimonio, influenciada por sus propias experiencias bélicas.

      Distinguished literary scholar Geoffrey H. Hartman, himself forced to leave Germany at age nine, collects his essays, both scholarly and personal, that focus on the Holocaust. Hartman contends that although progress has been made, we are only beginning to understand the horrendous events of 1933 to 1945. The continuing struggle for meaning, consolation, closure, and the establishment of a collective memory against the natural tendency toward forgetfulness is a recurring theme. The many forms of response to the devastation - from historical research and survivors' testimony to the novels, films, and monuments that have appeared over the last fifty years - reflect and inform efforts to come to grips with the past, despite events (like those at Bitburg) that attempt to foreclose it. The stricture that poetry after Auschwitz is ""barbaric"" is countered by the increased sense of responsibility incumbent on the creators of these works.
