Abstract

This article studies Daniel Libeskind’s Jewish Museum in Berlin, particularly the Holocaust Tower, in the light of Jean-François Lyotard’s theory of the happening and its dialogue with Edmund Burke’s category of the sublime. It analyzes the effect produced on subjects by certain experiences and their political and social implications.
