Feith, Michel2020-03-252020-03-2520142198-7920https://media.suub.uni-bremen.de/handle/elib/3023In this introduction, Michel Feith problematizes the complex relation between writing and the history of slavery by focusing on two case studies that reconfigure this relation: an examination of the Memorial for the Abolition of Slavery, inaugurated in Nantes, France in 2012, and a triangulation between Toni Morrison s Beloved, and Saidiya Hartman s Scenes of Subjection (1997) and Lose Your Mother (2007). What common ground seems to emerge from these two case studies memory as a sort of compromise formation in the monument, and the varying mixes of ob-jectivity and empathy in the texts is a sense of haunting, accompanied by an always compromised endeavor to lay at rest the ghosts of the Middle Passage.dehistorymemoryslaveryToni MorrisonSaidiya Hartman800800Artikel/Aufsatzurn:nbn:de:gbv:46-00103772-14
