TI - A Reversed Perspective: Jean Hatzfeld’s Englebert des collines
AB - The article is devoted to ways of describing the consequences of 20th-century genocide. In his deliberations, the author touches upon the issue of gathering witnesses’ accounts of tragic events on a mass scale and on the resulting schematization and banalization of tales of mass death. He focuses upon the non-fiction of Jean Hatzfeld from Rwanda. Another issue is the question of the psychological, political and social effects of genocide, which last for many years after the tragic events. An important element are reflections on the description of the trauma of the Tutsi who survived the massacre of 1994 in the context of attempting to express such a kind of experience through literature.
