The challenge of film considered as historical research: Claude Lanzmann's approach to the Shoah - constructing history in dialectical time-images

Author(s): Berg, Olaf

Abstract

The article focuses on the use of film as a medium of historical research. It discusses the film "Shoah," directed by Claude Lanzmann, which is considered as a model for filmic history. It also looks into Robert Rosenstone's claim that people may consider filmmakers as historians and that people should derive theory from practice through analyzing how the past has been portrayed in films.
