Abstract:
In celebration of the 20th-anniversary edition of Unclaimed Experience: Trauma, Narrative and History, we conducted an interview with Cathy Caruth at her home on April 20, 2018. The interview covered, among other things, Caruth's response to her critics around the contested notion of "unrepresentability," her take on the crucial relation between theory and testimony, as well as her recent rethinking of address around its failure and new possibility on the site of trauma.
