In Storytelling, Rodolphe Gasche reexamines the muteness of Holocaust survivors, that is, their inability to tell their stories. This phenomenon has not been explained up to now without reducing the violence of the events to which survivors were subjected, on the one hand, and diminishing the specific harm that has been done to them as human beings, on the other. Distinguishing storytelling from testifying and providing information, Gasche asserts that the utter senselessness of the violence inflicted upon them is what inhibited survivors from making sense of their experience in the form of tellable stories. In a series of readings of major theories of storytelling by three thinkers - Wilhelm Schapp, whose work will be a welcome discovery to many English-speaking audiences, Walter Benjamin, and Hannah Arendt - Gasche systematically assesses the consequences of the loss of the storyteling faculty, considered by some an inalienable possession of the human, both for the victims' humanity and for philosophy.

The author uses the work of Walter Benjamin to explore how the practice of archiveology - the reuse, recycling, appropriation, and borrowing of archival sounds and images by filmmakers - provides ways to imagine the past and the future. Noting how the film archive does not function simply as a place where moving images are preserved, the author examines a range of films alongside Benjamin's conceptions of memory, document, excavation, and historiography. She shows how city films such as Nicole Védrès "Paris 1900" (1947) and Thom Andersen's "Los Angeles Plays Itself" (2003) reconstruct notions of urban life and uses Christian Marclay's "The Clock" (2010) to draw parallels between critical cinephilia and Benjamin's theory of the phantasmagoria. The author also discusses practices of collecting in archiveological film and rereads films by Joseph Cornell and Rania Stephan to explore an archival practice that dislocates and relocates the female image in film. In so doing, she not only shows how Benjamin's work is as relevant to film theory as ever; she shows how archiveology can awaken artists and audiences to critical forms of history and memory.
