Routledge Companion to Literature and Trauma

<p>Literary trauma studies is a rapidly developing field which examines how literature deals with the personal and cultural aspects of trauma and engages with such historical and current phenomena as the Holocaust and other genocides, 9/11, climate catastrophe or the still unsettled legacy of colonialism.</p><p>The Routledge Companion to Literature and Trauma</p><p>is a comprehensive guide to the history and theory of trauma studies, including key concepts, consideration of critical perspectives and discussion of future developments. It also explores different genres and media, such as poetry, life-writing, graphic narratives, photography and post-apocalyptic fiction, and analyses how literature engages with particular traumatic situations and events, such as the Holocaust, the Occupation of France, the Rwandan genocide, Hurricane Katrina and transgenerational nuclear trauma.</p><p>Forty essays from top thinkers in the field demonstrate the range and vitality of trauma studies as it has been used to further the understanding of literature and other cultural forms across the world.</p><p>Chapter 2 of this book is freely available as a downloadable Open Access PDF at http://www.taylorfrancis.com under a Creative Commons Attribution-Non Commercial-No Derivatives (CC-BY-NC-ND) 4.0 license. </p> <p>Introduction to Literary Trauma Studies </p><p>Colin Davis and Hanna Meretoja</p><p>Part 1: Sources and Inspirations</p><ol> <ol> <p> </p> <li>History of Trauma Theory </li> <i> </i><p>Nicole Sütterlin </p> <p> </p> <li>Philosophies of Trauma </li> <i> </i><p>Hanna Meretoja</p> <p> </p> <li>Trauma, Poststructuralism and Ethics </li> <i> </i><p>Colin Davis</p> <p> </p> <li>Theories of Cultural Trauma </li> <i> </i><p>Todd Madigan</p> <p> </p> <li>Trauma and Cultural Memory Studies </li> <i> </i><p>Rosanne Kennedy</p> <p> </p> <li>Testimony </li> <i> </i><p>Meg Jensen</p> <p> </p> <li>Trauma, Time and Address </li> <i> </i><p>Cathy Caruth </p> <b> </b><p>Part 2: Key Concepts</p> <p> </p> <li>Victimhood </li> <i> </i><p>Susana Onega</p> <p> </p> <li>Perpetrator Trauma </li> <i> </i><p>Erin McGlothlin</p> <p> </p> <li>Witnessing </li> <i> </i><p>Carolyn Dean</p> <p> </p> <li>Screen Memory </li> <i> </i><p>Max Silverman</p> <p> </p> <li>Working-Through </li> <i> </i><p>Jean-Michel Ganteau</p> <p> </p> <li>Affect </li> <i> </i><p>Andreea Ritivoi</p> <p> </p> <li>Narrative </li> <i> </i><p>Jakob Lothe</p> <p> </p> <li>Gender </li> <i> </i><p>Sharon Marquart</p> <p> </p> <li>Intersectionality </li> </ol> </ol><p>Kaisa Ilmonen</p><p>Part 3: Critical Perspectives and Future Directions</p><p>17.
