Questioning the notion that traumatic experience is intrinsically unspeakable and that the Holocaust thus lies in a quasi-sacred realm beyond history, the book asks whether much current theory does not have the effect of silencing the voices of real historical victims. It thereby challenges widely accepted theoretical views about the representation of trauma in general and the Holocaust in particular as set forth by Giorgio Agamben, Cathy Caruth, Berel Lang, and Dori Laub. It also reconsiders, in the work of Theodor Adorno and Emmanuel Levinas, reflections on ethics and aesthetics after Auschwitz as these pertain to the reception of testimony. Referring at length to videotaped testimony and to texts by Charlotte Delbo, Primo Levi, and Jorge Semprun, the book aims to make these voices heard. In doing so, it clarifies the problems that anyone receiving testimony may encounter and emphasizes the degree to which listening to survivors depends on listening to ourselves and to one another. Witnessing Witnessing seeks to show how, in the situation of address in which Holocaust survivors call upon us, we discover our own tacit assumptions about the nature of community and the very manner in which we practice it. 606 $aHolocaust survivors$xPsychology 606 $aHolocaust, Jewish (1939-1945)$xPsychological aspects 606 $aPsychic trauma 610 $aart after auschwitz. 610 $ahistory. 610 $aholocaust. 610 $alistening. 610 $amemory. 610 $areception. 610 $asurvivor. 610 $atestimony. 610 $atrauma. 610 $awitnessing. 615 0$aHolocaust survivors$xPsychology. 615 0$aHolocaust, Jewish (1939-1945)$xPsychological aspects. 615 0$aPsychic trauma. 676 $a940.53/18092 700 $aTrezise$b Thomas$f1953-$01625423 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910814200503321 996 $aWitnessing witnessing$93960871 997 $aUNINA
