These chapters gathered from two special issues of the journal Life
Writing take up a major theme of recent work in the Humanities:
Trauma. Autobiography has had a major role to play in this 'age of
trauma', and these essays turn to diverse contexts that have
received little attention to date: partition narratives in India,
Cambodian and Iranian rap, refugee letters from Nauru, graffiti in
Tanzania, and the silent spaces of trauma in Chile and Guantanamo.
The contexts and media of these autobiographical trauma texts are
diverse, yet they are linked by attention to questions of who gets
to speak/write/inscribe autobiographically and how and where and
why, and how can silences in the wake of traumatic experiences be
read. These essays deliberately set out to establish some new
fields for research in trauma studies by reaching out to a broader
global context, into various texts, media and artifacts,
representing diverse histories with specific attention to different
voices, bodies, memories and subjectivities. This collection
addresses the contemporary circuits of trauma story, and the media
and icons and narratives that carry trauma story to political
effect and emotional affect. This book was previously published as
two special issues of Life Writing.
