"If Freud turns to literature to describe traumatic experience, it is because literature, like psychoanalysis, is interested in the complex relation between knowing and not knowing, and it is at this specific point at which knowing and not knowing intersect that the psychoanalytic theory of traumatic experience and the language of literature meet." -- from the Introduction

In Unclaimed Experience, Cathy Caruth proposes that in the "widespread and bewildering experience of trauma" in our century -- both in its occurrence and in our attempt to understand it -- we can recognize the possibility of a history no longer based on simple models of straightforward experience and reference. Through the notion of trauma, she contends, we come to a new understanding that permits history to arise where immediate understanding is impossible. In her wide-ranging discussion, Caruth engages Freud's theory of trauma as outlined in Moses and Monotheism and Beyond the Pleasure Principle; the notion of reference and the figure of the falling body in de Man, Kleist, and Kant; the narratives of personal catastrophe in Hiroshima mon amour; and the traumatic address in Lecompte's reinterpretation of Freud's narrative of the dream of the burning child.

"Unclaimed Experience is a splendid work, written with admirable clarity, power, and economy. The book has importance for a number of different fields: for psychoanalysis, for trauma theory or theory of 'post-traumatic stress disorder,' for literary study, for literary theory for cultural and historical studies, and for ethical theory. Each chapter is a classic essay on its topic." -- J. Hillis Miller, University of California, Irvine

"Cathy Caruth has emerged as one of our most innovative scholars on what we call trauma, and on our ways of perceiving and conceptualizing that still mysterious phenomenon." -- Robert Jay Lifton, M.D., author of Hiroshima in America and The Protean Self

Does MY company have unclaimed property reportable to any state unclaimed property office?

All companies have unclaimed property. If your company writes checks, issues gift certificates or gift cards, presents employee expense reimburse-ment checks or issues vendor credits, congratulations----you have unclaimed property!

While unclaimed property laws have been on the books in all states for many years, only in the past decade have those laws really been enforced against businesses outside of the banking industry. This practical guide breaks the process down into manageable steps that you can either handle on your own or with the help of a professional in the field.
