Abstract:

This article sheds light on the concept of “trauma” present in some passages of the works of Dominick LaCapra and Cathy Caruth, and their debts with Sigmund Freud’s conceptions. It also examines the specific proposals of the Viennese intellectual, which can help avoid a purely descriptive use of that concept. Special attention has been paid to the way these authors conceive memory and time, and to potential uses of the concept of trauma for some historical cases.Key WordsTrauma, repression, literality, nachträglich, economic perspective.ResumenEl presente artículo examina el concepto de “traum

Abstract:

<strong><em>This research explores Tahmima Anam’s novel A Golden Age from the perspective of psychological trauma. This novel vividly depicts the incidents of the Bangladesh War of Independence from March 1971 to December 1971. Anam presents the impact of the civil conflict on women who were confined to their domestic spaces. It focuses on the permanent psychological fragmentation experienced by the female characters from the sidelines in a warzone. Through the lens of the trauma model, the association between war trauma and memory is analysed in depth. The main characteristics of war tr

Abstract:

Studying Chaucer’s poem Troilus and Criseyde helps us evaluate current theories of trauma, especially the very different accounts of it provided by Ruth Leys and Cathy Caruth. The poem renders trauma a feature of both linguistic acts and personal pain. Besides citing it in suffering individuals, Chaucer’s text points to a complicated and ambivalent circulation of such wounds both in culture and for it.

Abstract This essay examines how the now-adult children of the disappeared in The Gambia express their grief through various art forms, focusing on the elegy.

The traditional functions of the elegy—lament, praise, and consolation—respond to loss by expressing grief and honoring the deceased. The essay explores the mourning process of three young adults through songwriting, letter writing, and memorial tattoos dedicated to their fathers who disappeared during Yahya Jammeh’s dictatorship.

Drawing on Freudian psychoanalysis and Cathy Caruth’s trauma Theory, this paper navigates the depiction of trauma in The Silent Patient (2019) by Alex Michaelides. Caruth argues that trauma is not fully experienced at the moment of its situations but reappears through fractured remembrances, flashbacks, and involuntary expressions.

Although examining Hemingway’s work in terms of shell-shock has been established, this paper suggests that traumatized characters in Hemingway's work carry what the trauma theorist Cathy Caruth calls an “impossible history.” It suggests that survivors of trauma experience a sudden or catastrophic event tha

Abstract:

This work analyzes the feeling of guilt in the works K. Relato de uma Busca (2011) and Os visitors (2016), by Bernardo Kucinski. The first book deals with the saga of a father in search of his daughter, Ana Rosa, probably murdered by torturers during the Military Dictatorship (1984-1985) in Brazil. The second consists of reviewing certain points of view presented in the first text from readers who visit the author and question him. It is noted, in several passages of the books, that the father feels guilty for the death of his daughter, while the State acts violently, including confessing cert

Abstract:

Janice Galloway represents one of the most strikingly original voices in new Scottish fiction, which breaks with the tradition of conventional narratives looking back at the national history and looking up to larger-than-life male heroes. Instead, Galloway writes deftly crafted short stories of everyday life in contemporary settings, finding that the past informs the present and proceeding to explore how the stateless nation’s cultural heritage affects her characters. This paper analyses selected stories from Galloway’s collections Blood (1991) and Where You Find It (1996) from the perspective

Abstract:

This research paper looks into the effect of slavery, as a traumatic communal experience, on music and lyrics. It focuses on the development of narratives out of the collective memory of trauma in the African-American community; which in turn worked first as a tool for freedom and evolved to function as cure and testimony. It addresses the issue of trauma being imbibed into a collective consciousness of a culture and its reflection in the narratives. The research paper looks at narratives used as escape slave codes and deconstructs them. While the primary text used to understand cultural traum

ABSTRACT This article examines the poetics of death in the Iraqi American writer Sinan Antoon’s novel The Corpse Washer. The novel depicts death as a leitmotif while emphasizing the perils of wars and violence on the Iraqi people. Throughout the novel, death is omnipresent, looming over the lives of the characters, particularly the protagonist Jawad who endures nightmares, hallucinations, and split personality. These conditions are engendered by prolonged wars and cycles of violence, including the Iran–Iraq War (1980–1988), the Gulf War (1990–1991), and the invasion of Iraq in 2003. In additio

Abstract:

The death of a child is typically seen as incommensurate, a limit-experience defying articulation and comprehension. In her most recent book, Literature in the Ashes of History (2013), the literary critic and trauma theorist Cathy Caruth theorizes a history that inscribes itself in and through its own (self-conscious, and traumatic) self-effacement; what is striking is that her attempt to theorize and initiate what she calls 'a new kind of language', produced 'After the End' (as she titles the second part of the book), must thus be understood not only in relation to the post-Holocaust world, b

Abstract:

If, as Anne Whitehead suggests, the term ‘trauma fiction’ represents a paradox, that violence resists containment through language, then writers who engage and attempt to represent traumatic events in their work can never fully render the horror of trauma through their writing. Yet artists such as Gerard Mannix Flynn, a survivor of trauma himself, still attempt to translate the experience of trauma into language. In the novel Nothing to Say and the play James X, Flynn explores the ways in which trauma is both experienced and recalled and the cathartic effects that ‘containing’ trauma through l

Abstract:

With the rise of trauma theory in late 19th century, researchers have focused on foregrounding the significance of some catastrophic events that pertain mainly to the collective, leaving other forms of trauma and their psychological aftermath on the individual underrepresented. In this paper, I focus on social traumas in Joseph Conrad’s The Secret Agent, which seems to be overlooked by some critics whose insights highlight primarily its political aspect. The events of the novel revolve around the peculiar and traumatic experience of Winnie Verloc whose life is rife with betrayal and violence.
