This book questions the junctions of the private and the public
when it comes to trauma, loss, and the work of mourning - notions
which, it is argued, challenge our very ideas of the individual and
the shared. It asks, to paraphrase Adorno, 'What do we mean by
"working through the past"?, 'How is a shared work of mourning to
be understood?', and 'With what legitimacy do we consider a
particular social or cultural practice to be "mourning"?' Rather
than aiming to present a diagnosis of the political present, this
volume instead takes one step back to pose the question of what
mourning might mean and what its social dimension consists in.
Contributors reflect on the trauma of the Holocaust, the
after-effects of the Vietnam War in the US, the Lebanese war-torn
experience, victims of the Pacific War in Taiwan, and the Chilean
dictatorship.
