Bowmar Professor of Humanistic Studies at Cornell University, where he is now a professor emeritus. ==Career== LaCapra received his B.A. from Cornell and his Ph.D. from Harvard. He began teaching at the Cornell University Department of History in 1969.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.arts.cornell.edu/history/faculty-department-lacapra.php )〕 LaCapra's work has helped to transform intellectual history and its relations to cultural history as well as other approaches to the past. His goal has been to explore and expand the nature and limits of theoretically informed historical understanding.〔Gordon, Peter (2011) Review of History and Its Limits: Human, Animal, Violence, Journal of Modern History 83 (no. 1), pp. 139-40.〕 His work integrates recent developments in critical theory, such as post-structuralism and psychoanalysis, and examines their relevance for the rethinking of history.〔 See Goldberg, Amos (2000) Interview, The Multimedia CD 'Eclipse Of Humanity', Yad Vashem, Jerusalem, available on-line at http://www1.yadvashem.org/odot_pdf/Microsoft%20Word%20-%203648.pdf〕 It also explores and elaborates the use in historical studies of techniques developed in literary studies and aesthetics, including close reading, rhetorical analysis, and the problem of the interaction between texts or artifacts and their contexts of production and reception.〔See, for example, Berkhofer, Jr., Robert (1995) Beyond the Great Story: History as Text and Discourse (Harvard University Press); Clark, Elizabeth A. (2004) History, Theory, Text: Historians and the Linguistic Turn (Harvard University Press), esp. chaps. 6 and 7; Dosse, François (2003) La marche des idées: Histoire des intellectuals — histoire intellectuelle (Editions Découverte,); Jay, Martin (1988) Fin-de-Siècle Socialism and Other Essays (Routledge), pp. 47-61; Kramer, Lloyd S. (1989) "Literature, Criticism, and Historical Imagination: The Literary Challenge of Hayden White and Dominick LaCapra", in Hunt, Lynn ed., The New Cultural History (University of California Press); Novick, Peter (1988) That Noble Dream: The "Objectivity" Question and the American Historical Profession (Cambridge University Press); and Toews, John (1987) "Intellectual History after the Linguistic Turn: The Autonomy of Meaning and the Irreducibility of Experience," American Historical Review (92), 879-90.〕 In addition to its role in the field of history, LaCapra's work has been widely discussed in other humanities and social science disciplines, notably with respect to trauma theory and Holocaust studies.〔See, for example, Eisenstein, Paul (2003) Traumatic Encounters: Holocaust Representation and the Hegelian Subject (State University Press of New York); Hutcheon, Linda (1988) A Poetics of Postmodernism: History, Theory, Fiction. (Routledge); Kaplan, E. Ann, Trauma Culture: The Politics of Terror and Loss in Media and Literature (Rutgers University Press, 2005); Oliver, Kelly (2001) Witnessing Beyond Recognition (University of Minnesota Press); Rothberg, Michael (2000) Traumatic Realism: The Demands of Holocaust Representation (University of Minnesota Press); and Weissman, Gary (2004) Fantasies of Witnessing: Postwar Efforts to Experience the Holocaust (Cornell University Press).〕 At Cornell, LaCapra holds joint appointments in the departments of History and Comparative Literature. He served for two years as Acting Director and for ten years as Director of the Cornell Society for the Humanities. He is a senior fellow of the School of Criticism and Theory; of which he was associate director from 1996–2000 and director from 2000-2008.〔See http://sct.arts.cornell.edu/dominick-lacapra-774.php〕 LaCapra is a member of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences (2006–present).〔http://www.amacad.org/members/alphaList.pdf〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Dominick LaCapra」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
