• W126671996 abstract "committed such acts? The answer to both questions is, I believe, fear, a that led to an obsession, especially for those of us for whom the Second World War was a living memory, that Serbs would never again allow themselves to become victims (Transcript 609). Even in its entirety the statement is appallingly brief and unforthcoming, but because Plavsic was the first defendant to plead guilty, take responsibility, and ask for forgiveness, she would therefore seem to be an invaluable witness to the motivation of the aggressors, even if her confession is in the circumstances of international tribunals, plea bargaining, third parties and the like. In the spectral logic captured here the panicked, fearful Serbs become the perpetrators of atrocities which are in turn unforgivable-this is the logic of cold wars and pre-emptive strikes. The notion that the perpetrators were really victims-in the past and in the future if not in the present-is no doubt a commonplace of contemporary atrocity exhibits; yet it is only by giving credence to it that the logic can be exhumed, done justice to. The Serbs were in the grip of a collective phobic attack, in a state of terror wherein arose the ghost as a of a recurrence, of the past recurring in the future, for, tellingly, the Serb agenda is referred by Plavsic not to present Croat or Kosovar intentions but to vaguely defined past humiliations, presented under the umbrella term second world war. Moreover, while Plavsic certainly did live through the war, she was only fourteen when it ended. While I agree fourteen is old enough to be fully traumatized, I question whether it is fully her memory which is living here, or whether she is not living someone else's memory, and whether the phobic attack in itself is not a means of keeping that memory alive. Is this the negative scene of the modern urge towards commemoration and preservation of trauma? What would insure that trauma studies differentiates this kind of 'victim' and her aggressive fears about spectral repetition, from others? Even these few lines display a deep psychologism: a panic attack led to obsession, just as in the case of Little Hans. Moreover, in spite of the attempt to account for what happened, at bottom the apologetic Plavsic seems not to know what came over her and her compatriots; it no longer makes any sense, now the blinding fear has cleared off like a vapour. Plavsic's relevance for a discussion of Specters of Marx is as a stand-in for the former Yugoslavia, with its stunning enactment of the phantom in Derrida' s sense-the recurrence of historical spectres which decades of Communism either had not dissipated or, more chillingly, which were resusicitated, brought back from extinction. Plavsic is interesting not least because her case embodies, in her phobia, by her taking of responsibility, in the 'gift' of her confession, and her appeal for pardon, so many deconstructive aporias. In the larger consideration of the scenes and venues of political trauma, including the former Yugoslavia, the work of mourning in something like the classical psychoanalytic sense would seem to be urgently called for; many political investments need to be de-cathected, divested, reordered.
