Maus supone un nuevo paradigma, diferente al representacional (Hollywood y su Lista de Schlinder); y al no-representacional o incluso anti-representacional (Shoah de Lanzmann), en cuanto a las representaciones del Holocausto.

(...)more estranging mode of narrative and figurative representation in order to overcome the paralyzing effects of a mimesis of memory-terror (...) a pictorial strategy that would maintain the tension between the overwhelming reality of the remembered events and the tenous, always elusive status of memory itself.

(...)escape from the terror of memory (...) while mimetically reenacting it.

(...)a complex relationship in which the image is precisely not mere mirroring, ideological duplication or partisan reproduction, but where it approaches writing.

Nota adhesiva

In its hybrid folding of a complex and multi-layered narration into the mass cultural genre (...) image-text makes a good case against a dogmatic privileging of modernist techniques of estrangement and negation, for it demonstrates how estrangement and affective mimesis are not mutually exclusive, but can actually reinforce each other.
