Description 1 online resource Contents Introduction -- Languages of trauma -- Part one -- Words and images -- Part two -- Music, theatre and visual arts -- Part three -- Normalizations of trauma -- Part four -- Representations in film -- Coda -- Climate trauma reconsidered Summary "This volume traces the distinct cultural languages in which individual and collective forms of trauma are expressed in diverse variations, including oral or written narratives, literature, comic strips, photography, theatre, and cinematic images. The central argument is that traumatic memories are frequently beyond the sphere of medical, legal, or state intervention. To address these different, often intertwined modes of language, the contributors provide a variety of disciplinary approaches to foster innovative debates and provoke new insights. Prevailing definitions of trauma can best be understood according to the cultural and historical conditions within which they exist. Languages of Trauma explores what this means in practice by scrutinizing varied historical moments from the First World War onwards and particular cultural contexts from across Europe, the United States, Asia, and Africa - striving to help decolonize the traditional Western-centred history of trauma, dissolving it into multifaceted transnational histories of trauma cultures."-- Provided by publisher Analysis World War I history media medical humanities memory post-traumatic stress disorder psychiatry psychology resilience shell shock trauma and medicine trauma in cinema trauma war and trauma Bibliography Includes bibliographical references and index Notes Description based upon online resource; title from PDF title page (viewed March 8, 2021) Subject Psychic trauma in literature.
