Cazenave Publishes Book Chapter
This summer, Professor Jennifer Cazenave published a book chapter titled “The Holocaust and Film” in The Cambridge History of the Holocaust. In this book chapter, Professor Cazenave presents the history of Holocaust cinema since 1945, orienting films along an imaginary axis defined, on the one hand, by the melodramatic realism of the American television miniseries Holocaust and, on the other, by the insistent focus on the present in the epic documentary Shoah.
On sabbatical (AY25-26), Professor Cazenave will work on her second book, Lessons in Seeing: Disability and Media Archive, as a Visiting Residential Fellow at UConn’s Humanities Institute. During her sabbatical, Professor Cazenave will also give several talks, including for a centennial celebration of Claude Lanzmann organized by the Jewish Museum in Berlin.
