Focusing on the exploration of memory processing and trauma, this seminar paper discusses the contributions of Jean Martin Charcot and Pierre Janet, as presented in Bessel Van der Kolk and Onno Van der Hart's work, The Intrusive Past. It highlights how traumatic memories impact consciousness and collective imagery, delving into the cultural implications of these psychological insights. The paper, graded highly at the Free University of Berlin, reflects on the interplay between trauma and cultural memory within American studies.
