Summary/Abstract: Niziołek analyses the ethical and political aspects of the situation of giving testimony. He explores how research on the Holocaust helped establish current discourses on testimony within various emancipatory movements and why these two fields seem incompatible. Niziołek’s key concept is the political performativity of trauma, which allows testimony to be used to transform power relations and the concept of the public sphere.
