Trauma And Transmission: Echoes Of The Missing Past In Dora Bruder, Judith Greenberg Jun 2007

Trauma And Transmission: Echoes Of The Missing Past In Dora Bruder, Judith Greenberg

Studies in 20th & 21st Century Literature

This essay begins with the ethical imperative that Dora Bruder puts forward: to pay attention to the stories of the pain of others that had been ignored during the Holocaust. But Dora Bruder is also full of "missing pieces"—missing details in Dora's life story, missing elements in the narrator's relationship with his father, and the missing understanding that necessarily occurs in relation to "knowing" trauma and particularly, the Holocaust. The essay looks at those "missing pieces" both through insights in trauma theory and through the lens of 9/11, which introduced a new sense of the "missing" to this writer. It …

Tracking Terrorist Financing Through Swift: When U.S. Subpoenas And Foreign Privacy Law Collide, Patrick M. Connorton

Fordham Law Review

This Note examines the jurisprudence surrounding production orders that require the ordered party to violate foreign law, using the Terrorist Finance Tracking Program--better known as the SWIFT Program--as a case study. This Note recommends that courts excuse or punish noncompliance with such production orders based solely on the good or bad faith acts of the ordered party. Although this approach will clarify the law in this area, in certain circumstances it may make it more difficult for the United States to obtain information abroad. Consequently, this Note urges the United States to pursue formal and informal information-sharing agreements with its …
