Katz Research Fellow in Genocide Studies<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Organized by the <a href=\"http:\/\/dornsife.usc.edu\/cagr\">USC Shoah Foundation Center for Advanced Genocide Research<\/a><\/p>\n<p>In this lecture, Kathryn Brackney will reflect on the month she has spent conducting research on the topic of &#8220;otherworldliness&#8221; in narratives by Holocaust survivors. Brackney uses &#8220;otherworldliness&#8221; as a term to refer to moments in literature and testimony when survivors describe their experiences as being from an entirely different dimension, space, or time.&#8221; At the Shoah Foundation, she is expanding the scope of her project beyond the Holocaust by examining how survivors have narrated their post-liberation transitions into displaced persons camps and the major countries of resettlement. She is particularly interested in exploring the variety of figurative images that survivors who have given multiple testimonies over time use to convey their experiences. Her lecture will highlight moments in the Shoah Foundation\u2019s archive when survivors characterize pre-war and post-war life as separated by a chasm\u2014and moments when survivors describe themselves as inhabiting both worlds simultaneously.<\/p>\n<p>Kathryn L. Brackney is a doctoral candidate at Yale University in modern European intellectual and cultural history. Her research has been supported by the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum, DAAD, and the Yale Program for the Study of Antisemitism. Her dissertation is titled \u201cOtherworldly Horizons: An Alternative History of Holocaust Consciousness.\u201d Survivors of the Holocaust often use a language of \u201cotherworldliness\u201d to describe their war- time experiences, the European communities they left behind, and the spaces where they imagine their loved ones might live on. Brackney\u2019s dissertation examines how the dimensions of these \u201cother worlds\u201d have shifted in the work of artists, writers and critics who have reflected on the Holocaust during the post-war period in Western Europe, North America, and Israel.\u00a0She holds a B.A. in Comparative Literature from Brown University and a Master\u2019s of Theological Studies from Harvard Divinity School.<\/p>\n<p>Read a summary of the lecture <a href=\"https:\/\/dornsife.usc.edu\/cagr-temp\/2018\/04\/02\/kathryn-brackney-lecture-summary\/\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n  <\/div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":140,"featured_media":4078,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[26,29],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-5186","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-events","category-lecture"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.1.1 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Phantom Geographies in Representations of the Holocaust - Kathryn Brackney<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/dornsife.usc.edu\/cagr\/2018\/03\/22\/phantom-geographies-in-representations-of-the-holocaust\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Phantom Geographies in Representations of the Holocaust - Kathryn Brackney - Center for Advanced Genocide Research\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/dornsife.usc.edu\/cagr\/2018\/03\/22\/phantom-geographies-in-representations-of-the-holocaust\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"Center for Advanced Genocide Research\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2018-03-22T23:00:00+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:modified_time\" content=\"2023-08-11T23:50:43+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:image\" content=\"https:\/\/dornsife.usc.edu\/cagr\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/108\/2018\/04\/Featured-Image_Kathryn-Brackney-Summary.png\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:width\" content=\"2000\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:height\" content=\"1150\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:type\" content=\"image\/png\" \/>\n<meta name=\"author\" content=\"mstroud\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:card\" content=\"summary_large_image\" \/>\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\" class=\"yoast-schema-graph\">{\"@context\":\"https:\/\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"Article\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/dornsife.usc.edu\/cagr\/2018\/03\/22\/phantom-geographies-in-representations-of-the-holocaust\/#article\",\"isPartOf\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/dornsife.usc.edu\/cagr\/2018\/03\/22\/phantom-geographies-in-representations-of-the-holocaust\/\"},\"author\":{\"name\":\"mstroud\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/dornsife.usc.edu\/cagr\/#\/schema\/person\/c7140a1ede22d56d41a34683c7926fba\"},\"headline\":\"Phantom Geographies in Representations of the Holocaust &#8211;
