The political power of trauma is seen through US, Israeli, and Japanese art forms as they reflect varied roles of perpetrator, victim, and witness. Traumatic complexities are traced from spirituality to movement, philosophy to trauma theory. And essays on authors such as Kafka, Plath, and Cormac McCarthy examine how narrative can blur the boundaries of personal and collective experience.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eAmong the topics covered: \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cul\u003e Television: a traumatic culture. \u003cli\u003eFrom Hiroshima to Fukushima: comics and animation as subversive agents of memory in Japan.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eThe death of the witness in the era of testimony: Primo Levi and Georges Perec.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eSigmund Freud's \u003ci\u003eMoses and Monotheism \u003c\/i\u003eand the possibility of writing a traumatic history of religion.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003ePlacing collective trauma within its social context: the case of the 9\/11 attacks.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eKilling the killer: rampage and gun rights as a syndrome.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis volume appeals to multiple readerships including researchers and clinicians, sociologists, anthropologists, historians, and media researchers. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Springer","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47573923299479,"sku":"9783319927244","price":14629.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9783319927244.webp?v=1774894148","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/interdisciplinary-handbook-of-trauma-and-culture-9783319927244","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
