It focuses on such episodes in three nonfictional texts – John Kaminiates’ .Capture of Thessaloniki. (904), Eustathios of Thessaloniki’s .Capture of Thessaloniki .(1186), and Niketas Choniates’ .History. (ca. 1204–17) – and the three extant twelfth-century Komnenian novels to consider how the authors’ positions as both eyewitness and victim require an interpretive method that distinguishes witness literature from other kinds of writing about the past. Drawing on theoretical developments in the fields of Holocaust and Genocide Studies (such as Giorgio Agamben’s .homo sacer .and Michel Foucault’s biopolitics) and comparisons with modern examples (Elie Wiesel’s .Night .and Primo Levi’s .If This is a Man.), .Witness Literature .emphasizes the affective, subjective, and experiential in medieval Greek historical writing.. | | 出版日期 | Book 2021 | | 关键词 | Byzantine empire; Memory studies; John Kaminiates; Eustathios of Thessaloniki; Niketas Choniates; Anna Ko | | 版次 | 1 | | doi | https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-030-78857-5 | | isbn_softcover | 978-3-030-78859-9 | | isbn_ebook | 978-3-030-78857-5Series ISSN 2730-9363 Series E-ISSN 2730-9371 | | issn_series | 2730-9363 | | copyright | The Editor(s) (if applicable) and The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Switzerl |
