This book examines recent cinematic representations of the
traumatic legacies of national and international events and
processes. Whilst not ignoring European and Hollywood cinema, it
includes studies of films about countries which have been less
well-represented in cinematic trauma studies, including Australia,
Rwanda, Chile and Iran. Each essay establishes national and
international contexts that are relevant to the films considered.
All essays also deal with form, whether this means the use of
specific techniques to represent certain aspects of trauma or
challenges to certain genre conventions to make them more adaptable
to the traumatic legacies addressed by directors. The editors argue
that the healing processes associated with such legacies can
helpfully be studied through the idiom of 'scar-formation' rather
than event-centred 'wound-creation'.
