This book occurs at the intersection of philosophy, critical
theory, psychoanalysis and the visual arts. Each chapter looks at
art produced in various traumatogenic cultures: detention centres,
post-Holocaust film, autobiography and many more.Other chapters
look at the Juarez femicides, the production of collective memory,
of makeshift memorials, acts of forgiveness and contemporary forms
of trauma. The book proposes new ways of 'thinking trauma',
foregrounding the possibility of healing and the task that the
critical humanities has to play in this healing. Where is its place
in an increasingly terror-haunted world, where personal and
collective trauma is as much of an everyday occurrence as it is
incomprehensible? What has become known as the 'classical model of
trauma' has foregrounded the unrepresentability of the traumatic
event. New, revisionist approaches seek to move beyond an aporetic
understanding of trauma, investigating both intersubjective and
intrasubjective psychic processes of healing. Traumatic memory is
not always verbal and 'iconic' forms of communication are part of
the arts of healing.
