| Итог: | For nearly three decades now, the structure of testimony and the position of witness have been the topic of deep reflection by scholars and artists. Holocaust studies and the related ethical turn have undoubtedly contributed to this to the greatest extent, although it does not mean that the Holocaust and genocide were the only topic of analysis. This multi-authored volume, edited by Agnieszka Dauksza and Karolina Koprowska, brings new, still unexplored threads into the context of successive, established phases of theoretical humanist discussions. The texts collected in this book present a significant change in the understanding of the status of a witness in culture, in relation to testimony and parrhesia. Earlier semantics of testifying, centred around and on the figure of the survivor, often also included the following in its order: accusations, calls for justice, coming out against the wrong-doer as now-absent, giving them a moral-epistemic high ground. Nowadays, it is not the antithesis of speaking and language that is, as it would seem, crucial to the witness (as non-human and post-human), but it is the testimony’s violation of the agreed, collective rules of truth-fulness.
