Rewriting the American Soul focuses on the political implications
of psychoanalytic and neurocognitive approaches to trauma in
literature, their impact on cultural representations of collective
trauma in the United States, and their subversive appropriation in
pre- and post-9/11 fiction. Anna Thiemann connects cutting edge
trauma theory with the historical context from which it emerged and
shows that contemporary novels encourage us to reflect critically
on the cultural meanings and political uses of trauma. In doing so,
it contributes to a new generation of trauma scholarship that
challenges the dominant paradigm in literary and cultural studies.
Moreover, the book intervenes in current debates about the
relationship between literature and neuroscience insisting that the
so-called neuronovel scrutinizes scientific developments and their
political ramifications rather than adopting and translating them
into aesthetic practices.
