This volume traces the distinct cultural languages in which
individual and collective forms of trauma are expressed in diverse
variations, including oral and written narratives, literature,
comic strips, photography, theatre, and cinematic images. The
central argument is that traumatic memories are frequently beyond
the sphere of medical, legal, or state intervention. To address
these different, often intertwined modes of language, the
contributors provide a variety of disciplinary approaches to foster
innovative debates and provoke new insights. Prevailing definitions
of trauma can best be understood according to the cultural and
historical conditions within which they exist. Languages of Trauma
explores what this means in practice by scrutinizing varied
historical moments from the First World War onwards and particular
cultural contexts from across Europe, the United States, Asia, and
Africa - striving to help decolonize the traditional
Western-centred history of trauma, dissolving it into multifaceted
transnational histories of trauma cultures.
