This volume explores the multifaceted depiction and staging of
historical and social traumata as the result of extreme violence
within national contexts. It focuses on Israeli-Palestinian, German
and (US) American film, and reaches out to cinematic traditions
from other countries like France, Great Britain and the former
USSR. International and interdisciplinary scholars analyze both
mainstream and avant-garde movies and documentaries premiering from
the 1960s to the present. From transnational and cross-genre
perspectives, they query the modes of representation - regarding
narration, dramaturgy, aesthetics, mise-en-scene, iconology,
lighting, cinematography, editing and sound - held by film as a
medium to visualize shattering experiences of violence and their
traumatic encoding in individuals, collectives, bodies and psyches.
This anthology uniquely traces horror aesthetics and trajectories
as a way to reenact, echo and question the perpetual loops of
trauma in film cultures. The contributors examine the discursive
transfer between historical traumata necessarily transmitted in a
medialized and conceptualized form, the changing landscape of
(clinical) trauma theory, the filmic depiction and language of
trauma, and the official memory politics and hegemonic
national-identity constructions.
