The seminal work of Jean Cayrol has experienced a revival in the French-speaking world since his death in 2005. Concentrationary Art represents the first translation into English of Cayrol's two essays on concentrationary art, as well as the first book-length study of his theory.

Largely forgotten over the years, the seminal work of Jean Cayrol has experienced a revival in the French-speaking world since his death in 2005. His ideas on concentrationary art proved to be a major influence for Hannah Arendt and the Frankfurt School, as well as other writers and theorists across a number of disciplines. Concentrationary Art represents the first translation into English of Jean Cayrol's two essays on the subject, as well as the first book-length study of his theory, its influence, and its use as a tool of cultural and political analysis of art and extreme violence.

Griselda Pollock is Professor of Social and Critical Histories of Art and Director of the Centre for Cultural Analysis, Theory and History at the University of Leeds.Max Silverman is Professor of Modern French Studies at the University of Leeds.
