description This article means to discuss the issue of trauma and its transgenerational transmission in a postmemorial context, through an analysis of the representation of Holocaust memory and its media(tiza)tion in Art Spiegelman’s graphic novel, Maus. This study more precisely intends to highlight the aesthetic strategies used by the author to reconstruct his father’s testimony and the means whereby trauma comes to be inscribed in the artistic form of the medium itself. We shall therefore strive to look at the way in which the figuration of these mediation and mediatization processes of testimony within the work informs the experience of the “postgeneration”, and more particularly the second generation, which is characterised by a vicarious and belated memory of the event.
