Frontmatter -- Contents -- Illustrations -- Acknowledgements -- Introduction: Lazarus and the modern world -- Part I Lazarus among Us -- Lazarean Dreams -- Lazarean Literature -- Part II Situating Cayrol’s Lazarean -- CHAPTER 1 Lazarean Writing in Post-war France -- CHAPTER 2 The Perpetual Anxiety of Lazarus the gaze, the tomb and the body in the shroud -- Part III Reading with the Lazarean -- CHAPTER 3 Concentrationary Art and the Reading of Everyday Life (in)human spaces in Chantal Akerman’s Jeanne Dielman, 23, quai du commerce, 1080 Bruxelles (1975) -- CHAPTER 4 Cinematic Work as Concentrationary Art in Laurent Cantet’s Ressources humaines (1999) -- CHAPTER 5 After Haunting a conceptualization of the Lazarean image -- CHAPTER 6 Lazarean Sound the autonomy of the auditory from Hanns Eisler (nuit et brouillard, 1955) to Susan Philipsz (night and fog, 2016) -- Concluding Remarks -- Index
Summary: Largely forgotten over the years, the seminal work of French poet, novelist and camp survivor Jean Cayrol has experienced a revival in the French-speaking world since his death in 2005. His concept of a concentrationary art—the need for an urgent and constant aesthetic resistance to the continuing effects of the concentrationary universe—proved to be a major influence for Hannah Arendt and other writers and theorists across a number of disciplines. Concentrationary Art presents the first translation into English of Jean Cayrol’s key essays on the subject, as well as the first book-length study of how we might situate and elaborate his concept of a Lazarean aesthetic in cultural theory, literature, cinema, music and contemporary art.
