'Panic' and 'mourning' are two pivotal constructs that often emerge
and interplay under circumstances of conflict, violence, crisis,
and catastrophe, both natural and man-made. Whereas panic tends to
crop up during the experience of violent events, mourning, on the
other hand, relates to the aftermath of a brutal disruption and to
the way humans try to make sense of it retrospectively. Conversely,
violent events can leave a thread of panic in their aftermath,
while mourning can be unsettled, interrupted or even refuelled by
another catastrophic incident. From an international and
inter-disciplinary outlook, this volume wishes to address questions
at the interface of panic and mourning and their impact on
practices in literature, media, and the arts. Since violent events
take place within cultures that will draw from their traditions,
memories and systems of beliefs in order to process them, the
authors of this book aim precisely at discussing the effects of
calamity upon the cultural structure and the way literary, artistic
and media practices not only reproduce individual and collective
anxieties but also generate knowledge and reshape the cultural
formation within which they emerge.
