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

In this unique collection, Yale literary critic Shoshana Felman and psychoanalyst Dori Laub examine the nature and function of memory and the act of witnessing, both in their general relation to the acts of writing and reading, and in their particular relation to the Holocaust. Moving from the literary to the visual, from the artistic to the autobiographical, and from the psychoanalytic to the historical, the book defines for the first time the trauma of the Holocaust as a radical crisis of witnessing "the unprecedented historical occurrence of...an event eliminating its own witness." Through the alternation of a literary and clinical perspective, the authors focus on the henceforth modified relation between knowledge and event, literature and evidence, speech and survival, witnessing and ethics. "Testimony" examines 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. This book takes in the texts of Dostoevsky, Freud, Mallarme, Camus and de Man, videotaped testimonial life accounts of Holocaust survivors and also the film "Shoah" by Claude Lanzmann. "Testimony" defines the uniquely devastating aspect of the Holocaust as a radical crisis of witnessing an "unprecendented historical occurrence of ...an event eliminating its own witness". Drawing on their personal experience of receiving survivors' accounts, Felman and Laub present the first "theory of testimony": a radically new conception of the relationship between art and culture and the witnessing of historical events. This book should be of interest to undergraduates and academics of literary criticism, literary theory, film theory, psychoanalysis and modern history.
