The contributions to this volume map the surprisingly multifarious
circumstances in which trauma is invoked - as an analytical tool, a
therapeutic term or as a discursive trope. By doing so, we
critically engage the far too often individuating aspects of
trauma, as well as the assumption of a universal somatic that is
globally applicable to contexts of human suffering. The volume
takes the reader on a journey across widely differing terrains:
from Norwegian institutions for psychiatric patients to the
post-war emergence of speech genres on violence in Mozambique, from
Greek and Cameroonian ritual and carnivalesque treatments of
historical trauma to national discourses of political
assassinations in Argentina, the volume provides an empirically
founded anti-dote against claiming a universal 'empire of trauma'
(Didier Fassin) or seeing the trauma as successfully defined by the
Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM).
Instead, the work critically evaluates and engages whether the
term's dual plasticity and endurance captures, encompasses or
challenges legacies and imprints of multiple forms of violence.
