Farbflecken und Textfetzen. Peter Handkes intermediale Verzauberung einer entzauberten Welt by Philippe Roepstorff-Robiano

“…Handke’s text is shown to emulate Cézanne’s painting technique of associ­ating coloured patches with the harmonious whole of an image, a procedure that accords with Theodor Adorno’s aesthetics after Auschwitz.

NELLA BABELE DEL LAGER: LINGUE, PAROLE E COMUNICAZIONE NEI CAMPI NAZISTI by Leonardo Zanchi

“…«La confusione delle lingue è una componente fondamentale del modo di vivere di quaggiù; si è circondati da una perpetua Babele, in cui tutti urlano ordini e minacce in lingue mai prima udite e guai a chi non afferra al volo» scrive Primo Levi in Se questo è un uomo, cercando di trovare le parole giuste per descrivere una sensazione provata costantemente dai deportati nel lager nazista di Auschwitz. I temi dell’incomunicabilità all’interno del lager, della privazione della parola e della possibilità di comprendere sono presenti in tutte le testimonianze scritte e orali dei superstiti italiani delle deportazioni, che cercarono di orientarsi nel plurilinguismo della realtà concentrazionaria. …”
