• W2074499505 abstract "ABSTRACT. greater purpose in The Ethics of After: Melvin Jules Bukiet, Holocaust Fiction, and the Reemergence of an Ethical Sense in the Post-Holocaust World is interconnect Melvin Jules Bukiet's current fictional and theoretical discussions with those of late postmodern theory. In doing so, this piece forges a connection between theory and Holocaust literature in an effort highlight an emerging discussion within Holocaust literature that asks the reader move beyond the ineffability of the event and work towards a new understanding of what can be gained from Holocaust study in a 21(st)-century culture. Particularly, the new understanding be gained is that of an ethical sense that is developing within the fictional and theoretical writings of current crackpot realists. After the defeat of Nazi Germany and the liberation of the death camps in 1945, a great emergence of discussions occurred concerning any relationship between the Holocaust and a developed ethical sense. A dominant belief that evolved from this atrocity is that the Holocaust was and is an blip on the screen of a developing humanity, a full disruption of an evolving, humanistic, ethical sense. However, as Zygmunt Bauman has argued, it remains possible that the Holocaust was nothing but the logical outcome of the modernist moment: The truth is that every `ingredient' of the Holocaust...was normal; `normal'...in the sense of being fully in keeping with everything we know about our civilization, its guiding spirit, its priorities, its immanent vision of the world -- and of the proper ways pursue human happiness together with a perfect society.(1) Despite Bauman's argument, there exists a continuation in the search for a disrupted ethical sense, and in many cases this search forces the individual return a pre-Holocaust modernist moment. This question of ethics can be seen as a central concern in, for example, Tadeusz Borowksi's collection of stories This Way for the Gas, Ladies and Gentlemen.(2) Whereas one might argue that Borowski recognizes the dismantling of an ethical sense in The People Who Walked On and the need for a new understanding of ethics and concern for humanity in The January Offensive, one can maintain that after the Holocaust, he returns the modernist/humanist world of the past in search of this new ethics. In the final story of his collection, Borowski writes of the world he encounters after his liberation and describes the rebuilding, in all senses of the term, of the old world. Similarly, Victor Frankl recognizes the horrors of the Holocaust and the extreme dehumanization that the Jews encountered in the world of the death camp, and yet his own logotherapy stresses the need for the patient, i.e. the survivor, to find meaning in his life.(3) danger that is present in such texts and/or the belief that the Holocaust was an uncharacteristic historical blip is that, if Bauman is correct, then nothing has been or can be learned from the Holocaust. While the Holocaust has been traditionally characterized as an ineffable event from which one can gain neither meaning nor understanding, I would argue that the time for this characterization has ended and the continuation of such a belief is dangerous. In terms of the theoretical paradigms, such as deconstruction and postmodernism, that emerged in the post-Holocaust world, there also came a need for the complication of traditional philosophical notions, and the acceptance of language and ideology as social/cultural constructions. While some may argue that postmodernist theory and understanding served no greater purpose than free-play and endless meanings, the opposite is true.(4) One particularly important postmodern sensibility is the desire for and the need dismantle a dominantly held world belief in the meta-narrative. As such, one can then make sense of Bauman's argument. To a certain degree, the humanist philosophy that emerged in the early and mid-twentieth-century, particularly in Nazi-controlled Europe, was nothing short of a meta-narrative. …" @default.
