The Lager’s Structure
Ch. 3 of the book "The Smell of Smoke" by Raffaele Mantegazza
ABSTRACT

1. The Initiation. 2. The Lager Space. 3. Time in the Lager. 4. Bodies in the Lager. 5. Things of the Lager. 6. Language in the Lager. Device as the network between heterogeneous elements and the nature of the bond, the camp as annihilation device, initiation to the lager device as a counter initiation. Human existence forfeiting: project, plan, sequences, rithuals, memory, hope. Body as thing, body as instrument for humiliation, punishments. The emblems of the Shoà: drums, steel-spiked shoes, train, lager gate, electric barbwire, whip, shower, gas, chimney, smoke. The SS language: ridiculous proliferation of acronyms, extremely few words, emphatic use of punctuation, incapable of expressing feelings or emotions. Space, time, bodies, things, and language today.
