Summary/Abstract: From Freud onwards many cultural theorists have been aware of the impor¬tance of forgetting as an inherent failure of memory to retain “whole truth and nothing else but truth”. Which led them to revise their interpretative strategies in order to pay more attention to the unsaid in V memory texts. Nowadays, this has become a common procedure in post-colonial criticism, in feminist readin¬gs of cultural texts, and in post-Freudian criticism. In this paper the author pays attention to some of those theories of “the reading the unsaid” that have proven to be the most influential in contemporary cultural studies.
