Doświadczenie niczyje: trauma i możliwość historii (Ferud, Mojżesz i monoteizm) [przeł. Katarzyna Bojarska]
No-one’s Experience: Trauma and a Possibility of History. (Freud, Moses and Monotheism) [przeł. Katarzyna Bojarska]

Summary/Abstract: The first chapter of Cathy Caruth’s book Unclaimed Experience. Trauma, Narrative and History. Baltimore: Johns Hopkins University Press, 1996; first published in Yale French Studies, No. 79: Literature and the Ethical Question (1991), pp. 181-192. Through a reading of Sigmund Freud’s essay Moses the Man and Monotheistic Religion, C. Caruth makes an attempt to reconstruct and, simultaneously, create a theory of history that would not be founded upon simple models of experience and denotation. Through exploiting the notion of trauma and its dynamism, she strives to prove that reconsideration of referentiality is not targeted at exclusion of history as much as on its re-situation within the confines of our understanding; i.e. at allowing history to appear wherever there cannot be a room for direct understanding.
