Trauma Explorations in Memory
ISBN: 9780801850073 / Angielski / Miękka / 1995 / 288 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Because traumatic events are unbearable in their horror and intensity, they often exist as memories that are not immediately recognizable as truth. Such experiences are best understood not only through the straightforward acquisition of facts but through a process of discovering where and why conscious understanding and memory fail. Literature, according to Cathy Caruth and others, opens a window on traumatic experience because it teaches readers to listen to what can be told only in indirect and surprising ways. Sociology, film, and political activism can also provide new ways of thinking...

Empirical Truths and Critical Fictions: Locke, Wordsworth, Kant, Freud

English Romantic poets and German critical philosophers challenged Locke's conception, arguing that it failed to account adequately for the power of thought to turn upon itself--to detach itself from the laws of the physical world.

Literature in the Ashes of History
ISBN: 9781421411552 / Angielski / Miękka / 2013 / 144 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Cathy Caruth juxtaposes the writings of psychoanalysts, literary and political theorists, and literary authors who write in a century faced by a new kind of history, one that is made up of events that seem to undo, rather than produce, their own remembrance. At the heart of each chapter is the enigma of a history that, in its very unfolding, seems to be slipping away before our grasp. What does it mean for history to disappear? And what does it mean to speak of a history that disappears? These questions, Caruth suggests, lie at the center of the psychoanalytic texts that frame this...

ISBN: 9780817357689 / Angielski / Miękka / 2014 / 264 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. In Knowing the Suffering of Others, legal scholar Austin Sarat brings together essays that address suffering as it relates to the law, highlighting the ways law imagines suffering and how pain and suffering become jurisprudential facts.
From fetal imaging to end-of-life decisions, torts to international human rights, domestic violence to torture, and the law of war to victim impact statements, the law is awash in epistemological and ethical problems associated with knowing and imagining suffering. In each of these domains we might ask: How well do legal actors perceive and...
