Through the notion of trauma, she contends, we come to a new understanding that permits history to arise where immediate understanding may not. Caruth explores the ways in which the texts of psychoanalysis, literature, and literary theory both speak about and speak through the profound story of traumatic experience. Rather than straightforwardly describing actual case studies of trauma survivors, or attempting to elucidate directly the psychiatry of trauma, she examines the complex ways that knowing and not knowing are entangled in the language of trauma and in the stories associated with it. Caruth's wide-ranging discussion touches on Freud's theory of trauma as outlined in Moses and Monotheism and Beyond the Pleasure Principle. She traces the notion of reference and the figure of the falling body in de Man, Kleist, and Kant; the narratives of personal catastrophe in Hiroshima mon amour; and the traumatic address in Lecompte's reinterpretation of Freud's narrative of the dream of the burning child. In this twentieth-anniversary edition of her now classic text, a substantial new afterword addresses major questions and controversies surrounding trauma theory that have arisen over the past two decades. Caruth offers innovative insights into the inherent connection between individual and collective trauma, on the importance of the political and ethical dimensions of the theory of trauma, and on the crucial place of literature in the theoretical articulation of the very concept of trauma. Her afterword serves as a decisive intervention in the ongoing discussions in and about the field"-- aENH 0aLiterature, Moderny20th centuryxHistory and criticism.929272 0aPsychic trauma in literature.929273 0aDisasters in literature.929274 0aLiterature and societyxHistoryy20th century.929275 7aLITERARY CRITICISM / Semiotics & Theory.2bisacsh929276 7aLITERARY CRITICISM / General.2bisacsh929277 7aPSYCHOLOGY / Movements / Psychoanalysis.2bisacsh929278 7aEnglish literature.943062 2ddccBK 00102ddc4070aBRACULbBRACULcGENd2018-12-23eTrim Educationg2625.00l6m46o809.93353 CARp3010034094r2026-08-08s2026-07-25t1v2625.00w2018-12-23yBK 00102ddc4070aBRACULbBRACULcGENd2018-12-23eTrim Educationg2625.00l2m12o809.93353 CARp3010034095r2019-09-02s2019-08-19t2v2625.00w2018-12-23yBK
