• W245836269 abstract "Spielberg's Holocaust: Critical Perspectives on List, edited by Yosefa LoshitzkyWe may witness once again the galvanizing power of the motion picture and the significance of major funding and distribution by the fuss and attention surrounding the release and reception of List (1993), Steven Spielberg's film version of Thomas Keneally's historical novel, Ark (1982). Indeed, one might have been forgiven for thinking that the subject of the Holocaust had hardly been broached by book, film, or television, given the intense public discourse that followed in its wake. New pushes for education about the Holocaust in U.S. public schools and a new incentive for recording the survivor's stories were only two of the most visible signs that the cinema, in the hands of a popular master, has enormous power and prestige.Serious scholars and students of the Holocaust and its cinematic representations might have similarly been forgiven if they felt a certain cynicism at Spielberg's high-profile film and subsequent public appearances. In choosing to film a Holocaust subject, Spielberg found a way, nevertheless, to deliver the requisite Hollywood happy ending; in choosing to make a film about the destruction of European Jewry, Spielberg's central protagonists are two gentiles: the heroically flawed Oskar Schindler and the demented but strangely sympathetic concentration camp commandant, Amon Goeth. During the production, distribution, and subsequent success of the film, Spielberg came out, as it were, as a Jew, thus reinforcing the notion that American Jewry comes into its own identity only as a function of the Holocaust.It's a tribute to editor Yosefa Loshitzky, a Senior Lecturer in the Department of Communication and Journalism at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, and the sterling group of authors she has gathered together, that they resist this cynical take on Spielberg and his film, and resist, too, the easy attacks on Hollywood's (inevitably) glossy and superficial treatment of any serious subject, let alone the Shoah. Though there is little praise for the film (which is fine by me), the issues it raises and the significance derived from its success are taken seriously and with great intellectual depth and rigor. There is not a single essay here that isn't first-rate and that doesn't add to our knowledge and appreciation of the myriad and complex issues Spielberg's film brings forth.Among the two most serious issues that List mandates discussion of are the implications of film and/as history -- how does popular cinema construct public memory and the historical record? -- and how best to deal with the Holocaust, how to represent the unrepresentable. Simply and eloquently put by Loshitzky, Schindler's List has penetrated historical consciousness on a global scale and has transformed the image of the Holocaust as perceived by millions of people all over the world. Not to take the film seriously would be a huge mistake.The first issue, how popular cinema constructs public memory and the historical record, is taken up by Barbie Zelizer in the book's opening essay, which nicely sets the stage for the chapters to follow. …" @default.
