Abstract
Creating trauma. Symmetries and hostile takeovers of (the Jewish) trauma In this study I take a closer look at the strategies of post-memory thanks to which the Polish culture tries to produce your own trauma of the Holocaust. The “trauma of a Polish by-stander” turns out in this context to be post-trauma created in order to assimilate, take over or relativise the Jewish trauma. The posttraumatic strategies chosen by me with the Holocaust in the background obviously are not the only responses of the Polish culture to the Holocaust. The palimpsestial overwriting the trauma with other narratives, a kind of post-trauma that aims at taking over trauma, usually, however, escape the field of traumatological studies, and it is time to describe them. Создание травмы. Симметрии и вражеские захваты (еврейской) травмы В статье подробно рассмaтриваются стратегии, благодаря которым польская культура пытается создать собственную травму Холокоста. В этом контексте «травма польского зрителя» оказывается посттравмой, созданной для того, чтобы ассимилировать, перенять или релятивизировать еврейскую травму. Конечно, выбранные автором посттравматические стратегии, с Холокостом на заднем плане, являются не единственными ответами польской культуры на Холокост. Автор описывает своего рода постпамять, которая направлена на затенение травмы, как правило, выходит из области исследований травм.
