Testimony
内容简介
In this unique collection, Yale literary critic Shoshana Felman and psychoanalyst Dori Laub examine the nature and function of memory and the act of witnessing, both in their general relation to the acts of writing and reading, and in their particular relation to the Holocaust. Moving from the literary to the visual, from the artistic to the autobiographical, and from the psychoanalytic to the historical, the book defines for the first time the trauma of the Holocaust as a radical crisis of witnessing "the unprecedented historical occurrence of...an event eliminating its own witness." Through the alternation of a literary and clinical perspective, the authors focus on the henceforth modified relation between knowledge and event, literature and evidence, speech and survival, witnessing and ethics.

……我们是否应该把战前大剧院在斯大林直接命令下上演《女武神》 这件事当作他喜爱瓦格纳的证据呢？其实这是宣告他喜爱希特勒。 《女武神》的故事太可耻了，值得一讲。 “苏德互不侵犯协定”生效了，我们应该爱法西斯主义者了。我们爱得太晚，但正因为如此，才爱得更热烈。就像一个半老的寡妇爱上了隔壁魁梧的小伙子。
