Abstract

This work argues that psychobiography can rival traditional biography in the insights it offers. Elms makes a case for the value of psychobiography, arguing in part from his own case studies of over a dozen prominent figures. It also offers tips for anyone interested in writing in this genre.

Abstract

Notre corps ne ment jamais. Quand nous tombons malades, quand nous faisons l'expérience de la dépression, de la toxicomanie, de l'anorexie, c'est que nous sommes traversés par un conflit intérieur entre ce que nous ressentons et ce que nous voudrions ressentir. D'un côté, il y a notre corps, qui garde intacte la mémoire de notre histoire - et tout particulièrement des mauvais traitements que nos parents ont pu nous infliger -, de l'autre, il y a notre esprit et notre volonté, conditionnés par la morale et notre éducation, qui nous déterminent à aimer et honorer, quoi qu'il arrive, ces mêmes parents. Ce livre explore, à travers de nombreux exemples - notamment des vies d'écrivains célèbres -, les conséquences parfois dramatiques de ce conflit, mais il montre aussi qu'il existe des raisons d'espérer. Non, nous ne sommes pas obligés d'être les "bons" enfants de nos parents s'ils nous ont fait du mal et s'ils continuent de pratiquer le chantage affectif. Oui, c'est notre responsabilité que d'être attentifs aux signaux d'alerte que nous envoie notre corps. Au terme de ce chemin exigeant par lequel nous acceptons de relire l'histoire de nos rapports avec nos parents, il y a l'espoir de naître à une authentique liberté intérieure.

Abstract

"To write poetry after Auschwitz is barbaric," wrote Austrian musicologist Theodor Adorno. Indeed, the damage done to our sense of beauty, our sense of history and proportion by the events of World War II is profound. Traditional means of assessing and narrating human experience have failed to encompass and account for that historic trauma, and yet it is necessary to speak about these events if we are to heal their rupture of history. But how can we tell these stories? What are the historic consequence of testifying to such trauma? In this collaborative work, Yale literary critic Shoshana Felman and psychoanalyst Dori Laub examine the nature and function of testimony, witnessing and memory, both in their general relation to the acts of writing and of reading, and in their particular relation to the Holocaust. Defining, for the first time, the uniquely devastating aspect of the Holocaust as a radical crisis of witnessing, the "unprecedented historical occurrence of...an event eliminating its own witness", the authors examine the crisis of history and literature it has prompted, focusing on the henceforth modified relation between knowledge and event, literature and evidence, speech and survival, witnessing and ethics.Felman and Laub draw on their personal experiences receiving survivors' accounts to present the first "theory of testimony": a radically new conception of the relationship between art and culture and the witnessing of historical events. This new perspective on the meaning of testimony will be of vital interest to literary critics, film critics, psychotherapists, historians, philosophers, and lawyers.
