The book examines how “transference” and related human psychological processes shape relations to the environment and how trauma, memory, and identity persist in historical understanding. It further connects debates on history and deconstruction with human-animal relations, literature, and the purposes of the humanities, supported by references and an index.","UNDERSTANDING OTHERS  \nAlso by Dominick LaCapra  \nEmile Durkheim: Sociologist and Philosopher (1972, 1985, 2001)  \nA Preface to Sartre (1978)  \n“Madame Bovary” on Trial (1982)  \n[as coeditor, with Steven L.
