book reviewAbstract
Throughout a career spanning four decades, Colin Davis has established himself as a main proponent of a philosophical and hermeneutic approach to the study of the narrative arts in which the prime goal is to come to a fuller understanding, not only of the work at hand, but also of broader contexts. In this approach, a novel or a film can be both an object of study, as well as a means with which to study the world. In the work of Davis himself, this has led to careful close readings that are informed by, but also further develop ethics, philosophy, and hermeneutics, often with a focus on trauma. Many of his studies concern different forms of life writing, especially from Holocaust Literature.
