What does it suggest for historical past to vanish? And what does it suggest to talk of a background that disappears? those questions, Caruth indicates, lie on the middle of the psychoanalytic texts that body this booklet, in addition to the haunting tales and theoretical arguments that resonate with one another in profound and spectacular methods. within the writings of Honoré de Balzac, Hannah Arendt, Ariel Dorfman, Wilhelm Jensen, Sigmund Freud, and Jacques Derrida, we come upon, throughout diversified stakes and diversified languages, quite a few narratives that undergo witness no longer just to the earlier but additionally to the pasts we haven't recognized and that time and again go back us to a destiny that continues to be past imagination.
