"Muslimani" ili nemogućnost svedočenјa o iskustvu logora

Abstract

U radu ćemo se baviti nemogućnošću svedočenja o iskustvu logora kroz pojam „Musliman”. Korpus istraživanja predstavlјaće roman Prima Levija "Zar je to čovek", dok će teorijski okvir biti delo "Ono što ostaje od Aušvica, arhiv i svjedok" Đorđa Agambena. Analizom se želi pokazati da je jedini pravi, istinski svedok onaj koji je u logoru dostigao krajnji nivo lјudske degradacije i to iskustvo platio životom, dok je svedočenje preživelih u ime Muslimana u krajnjem slučaju posredno: budući da je o logoru nemoguće svedočiti iz iskustva smrti (iz pozicije Muslimana), preživeli se mogu smatrati dru- gostepenim svedocima koji jedino na osnovu onoga što su i sami iskusili pokušavaju da svedoče u ime „potoplјenih” koji to ne mogu.

As it has been indicated by the very title, the topic of the paper has been the "Muslim" or the impossible witness to the Holocaust. To accomplish this we have made use of the term so-called Muslim which existed as an ostracized group in the camp(s) and which was represented in Primo Levi's "If this is a man". The theoretical framework of the paper has been Giorgio Agamben's work "Remnants of Auschwitz: the witness and the archive". The analysis has tried to show that the only true, genuine witness is the one who reached the final stage of human degradation and paid dearly for that experience (as was the case with the Muslim), while the testimonies of those who survived are in the best case vicarious: having in mind the impossibility of bearing witness to Holocaust from the experience of death (from the position of a Muslim), the survived ones may be considered secondary witnesses who tried to reconstruct the experience of the Muslim ns based on their own.
