The chapters advance the current state of the field by exploring new areas, asking new questions and making new connections.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePart one, \u003ci\u003eHistory and Culture\u003c\/i\u003e, begins by developing trauma theory in its more familiar post-deconstructive mode and explores how these insights might still be productive. It goes on, via a critique of existing positions, to relocate trauma theory in a postcolonial and globalized world, theoretically, aesthetically and materially, and focuses on non-Western accounts and understandings of trauma, memory and suffering. Part two, \u003ci\u003ePolitics and Subjectivity\u003c\/i\u003e, turns explicitly to politics and subjectivity, focussing on the state and the various forms of subjection to which it gives rise, and on human rights, biopolitics and community.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEach chapter, in different ways, advocates a movement beyond the sort of texts and concepts that are the usual focus for trauma criticism and moves this dynamic network of ideas forward.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWith contributions from an international selection of leading critics and thinkers from the US and Europe, this volume will be a key critical intervention in one of the most important areas in contemporary literary criticism and theory.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Taylor \u0026 Francis","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":45236412874903,"sku":"9780415694599","price":4150.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9780415694599.webp?v=1769212937","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/the-future-of-trauma-theory-contemporary-literary-and-cultural-criticism-9780415694599","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
