Abstract
Given the rise of the Holocaust representations in film, literature and visual arts, the question is no longer whether to represent the Holocaust, but rather how to represent it. In that regard, Art Spiegelman’s depiction of the Holocaust in a graphic narrative is often cited as particularly interesting and groundbreaking work. The aim of this thesis was to analyze the representation of the Holocaust and the memory process in Art Spiegelman’s graphic novel Maus, drawing mainly on Giorgio Agamben’s and Michel Foucault’s understanding of biopolitics, and Marianne Hirsch’s concept of post-memory. The analysis revealed that through the employment of different narrative strategies, notably anthropomorphism, Maus explicitly deals with the themes of governmentality and devaluation of biological life, while simultaneously raising questions about the ethical implications of the representation of the Holocaust and personal history. Moreover, the use of the comic medium allowed the author to problematize the construction of memory by illustrating both the survivor’s experience and the very process of recording that memory.
Abstract (croatian)
S obzirom na učestalost prikazivanja holokausta u filmu, književnosti i vizualnoj kulturi, pitanje više nije usmjereno k tome možemo li prikazati holokaust, već na koji način. S tim u vezi, Art Spiegelmenov prikaz holokausta u grafičkom romanu često se navodi kao iznimno zanimljivo i revolucionarno djelo. Cilj ovog rada bio je analizirati prikaz holokausta i procesa pamćenja u grafičkom romanu Art Spiegelmana Maus oslanjajući se prvenstveno na tumačenje biopolitike kod Giorgia Agambena i Michela Foucaulta te primjenjući koncept post memorije Marianne Hirsch. Analizom se pokazalo kako je Maus, uz pomoć različitih narativnih strategija, naročito antropomorfizma, tekst koji se eksplicitno bavi temama vladanja i devaluacije biološkog života, istodobno postavljajući pitanja o etičkim implikacijama prikazivanja holokausta i osobne povijesti. Štoviše, upotreba grafičkog medija omogućila je autoru da nadalje problematizira i proces konstruiranja memorije prikazujući kako iskustvo preživjelih tako i sam proces bilježenja tog sjećanja.
