Review :
"Traumatic Encounters is an engaging and erudite study that will be of much use for scholars from a variety of disciplines." - H-Net Reviews (H-German) "Eisenstein's emphatic commitment to a conscientious return-to-self ... protects against a tendency for the thinking, acting, suffering self to be completely effaced by the enormity of collective atrocity." - College Literature "...helpfully unsettles some of our most entrenched assumptions." - Journal of Jewish Studies "The 'traumatic encounter' from the book's title is not that of the Holocaust, but the one between two seemingly incompatible events: the Holocaust and Hegelian dialectics. The result is simply shattering: both terms undergo a profound transformation. Gone is the image of Hegel as the great idealist reconciliator who washes away all traumatic cuts; gone is the easy 'Holocaust-industry' manipulation of the ultimate crime of the twentieth century. This alone makes the book a must: a forceful redemption of the power of theory." - Slavoj Zizek "An exceptionally ambitious and timely intervention into contemporary discussions about the ethics of representation after the Holocaust." - Wulf Kansteiner, Binghamton University, State University of New York "Traumatic Encounters offers an innovative (Zizekian/Lacanian) approach to the Holocaust in literature and provides significant insight into an interesting selection of important texts." - David Brenner, Chair of Jewish Studies, Kent State University
