FELDMAN, Ilana. To imagine, after all: problems and controversies surrounding the representation of the Holocaust, from Shoah to The Son of Saul. Acta poét [online]. 2018, vol.39, n.2, pp.65-96. ISSN 2448-735X.  https://doi.org/10.19130/iifl.ap.2018.2.837.

This article expounds upon the controversies and problems surrounding the representation of the Holocaust (or Shoah), from the perspective of three essays byGeorges Didi-Huberman, Images malgré tout (2003), Écorces (2011) and Sortir du noir (2015). These texts address the “unimaginable” and the “unrepresentable”, philosophically and aesthetically, and refute it by analyzing four photographs captured by members of the Sonderkommando at Auschwitz-Birkenau in August 1944. In comparison with the cinema, from Shoah to Son of Saul, passing through Night and Fog and Kapo, we update the quarrel of images, more and more current and far from being closed.

Palabras llave : Georges Didi-Huberman; Shoah; cinema; unimaginable; unrepresentable.
