This book provides a comprehensive analysis of major works in
Japanese literature and film through the interpretive lens of
trauma and PTSD studies. Focusing critical attention on the
psychodynamics and enduring psychosocial aftereffects of social
trauma, it also evaluates the themes of dissociation, failed
mourning, and psychological defence fantasies. Building on earlier
studies, this book emphasizes the role of protagonists in managing
to effect partial recovery by composing memoirs in which they
transform dissociated traumatic memory into articulate, narrative
memory or bring about advanced recovery by pioneering alternative
means of orally communicating, working through, and overcoming
debilitating personal histories of traumatization and
victimization. In so doing, Stahl also demonstrates that what holds
true on the individual and microcosmic level, also does so on the
collective and macrocosmic level. This new critical approach sheds
important new light on canonical Japanese novels and films and
enables recognition and appreciation of integral psychosocial
aspects of these traumatic narratives. As such, the book will be of
huge interest to students and scholars of Japanese film and
literature, as well as those of trauma studies.
