This volume addresses the construction and artistic representation
of traumatic memories in the contemporary Western world from a
variety of inter- and trans-disciplinarity critical approaches and
perspectives, ranging from the cultural, political, historical, and
ideological to the ethical and aesthetic, and distinguishing
between individual, collective, and cultural traumas. The chapters
introduce complementary concepts from diverse thinkers including
Cathy Caruth, Jacques Derrida, Judith Butler, Homi Bhabha, Abraham
and Torok, and Joyce Carol Oates; they also draw from fields of
study such as Memory Studies, Theory of Affects, Narrative and
Genre Theory, and Cultural Studies. Traumatic Memory and the
Political, Economic, and Transhistorical Functions of Literature
addresses trauma as a culturally embedded phenomenon and
deconstructs the idea of trauma as universal, transhistorical, and
abstract.
