This book offers an account of the surprising interaction between trauma and justice. Moving from texts by Arendt, Benjamin, Freud, Zola, and Tolstoy to the Dreyfus and Nuremberg trials, and the trials of O. J. Simpson and Adolf Eichmann, Felman argues that the adjudication of collective traumas in the 20th century transformed both culture and law.
