This book focuses on non-fictional, visual narratives (including
comics; graphic narratives; animated documentaries and online,
interactive documentaries) that attempt to represent violent
experiences, primarily in the Levant. In doing so it explores, from
a philosophical perspective, the problem of representing trauma
when language seems inadequate to describe our experiences and how
the visual narrative form may help us with this. The book uses the
concept of the ineffable to expand the notion of representation
beyond the confines of a western, individualist notion of trauma as
event based. In so doing, it engages a postcolonial perspective of
trauma, which treats violence as ongoing and connected to several
incidents of violence across time and space. This book demonstrates
how the formal qualities of visual, non-fiction may help close the
gap between representation and experience through the process of
'dark' writing.
