Presented by the UC San Diego Holocaust Living History Workshop

With support from UC San Diego's Department of Communication

Please join the UC San Diego Jewish Studies Program and UC San Diego Library for a lecture by Amit Pinchevski on Wednesday, February 19, 2020 from 5-7 p.m. in the Seuss Room at Geisel Library. This event is free and open to the public.

In his new book, Transmitted Wounds, Amit Pinchevski explores the ways media technology and logic shape the social life of trauma both clinically and culturally. Drawing on a number of case studies such as radio broadcasts of the Eichmann trial, videotapes of Holocaust survivor testimonies, and the recent use of digital platforms for holographic witnessing, he demonstrates how the technological mediation of trauma feeds the traumatic condition itself. His insights have crucial implications for media studies and the digital humanities field as they provide new ways to understand the relationship between technology and human suffering. Pinchevski is an associate professor in the Department of Communication and Journalism at The Hebrew University of Jerusalem.
