title = "{\textquoteleft}The Concentrationary Universe: Primo Levi{\textquoteright}s Spatial Consciousness{\textquoteright}",
abstract = "This chapter examines Levi{\textquoteright}s writings in the light of the recent “spatial turn” in the Humanities, arguing that the Holocaust was a profoundly spatial and geographic phenomenon. Levi{\textquoteright}s work, Vuohelainen argues, evinces a distinctive spatial consciousness, from the grassroots depictions of survival in the camps in If This Is a Man to the picaresque journey of The Truce to the widening perspectives of Moments of Reprieve and The Drowned and the Saved. The chapter explores the spatial dynamics of Levi{\textquoteright}s writings through the theoretical work of Henri Lefebvre, Michel Foucault and Michel de Certeau, arguing for the significance of place and space in Holocaust Studies.",
