Unclaimed Experience: Trauma, Narrative, and History von Cathy Caruth
This was really just okay, but I'm giving the third star out of the benefit of the doubt that Caruth's work reflects what she wanted to do, and that just because it wasn't a book that I found interesting or particularly useful doesn't mean it's a bad book per se. It just was way more focused on the actual text of Freud's work rather than the way I understand using trauma to talk about history, which is fine and fair and actually this book is what has made me decide I need to actually read more Freud, but I didn't connect with her claims nor did I feel like the essays connected or supported any kind of overarching conclusion at all.… (mehr)
This was okay. A kind of odd collection, felt pretty disconnected in parts, though maybe that's because so much of the book was rooted in Holocaust studies with which I'm not hugely familiar. The last chapter was for me (for maybe obvious reasons) the most interesting, but yeah the collection as a whole was weird but some of it was interesting.
