The Engineering of Empathy: A Spatial Deconstruction of Narrative Scripting and the Commodified Gaze at Auschwitz-Birkenau
By Ljubica Kamcheva, London Metropolitan University. This dissertation interrogates how the physical, architectural and curatorial organisation of Auschwitz-Birkenau actively constructs historical memory for the postmemory generation. Utilising a social-constructivist paradigm and a rigorously structured autoethnographic methodology, the research deconstructs the site not as a static repository of atrocity, but as a manufactured epistemological battleground.
