AbstractHistoryArchive Description
'This essay collection covers film and prose narrative from diverse locations. The overall intent is to reassess the psychologizing of trauma (after Stef Craps) and extend its literary bounds beyond the Holocaust. Those chapters that engage with the key terms of trauma and the postcolonial and their critical archive are the most impressive. Lucy Brisley’s careful framing of her discussion of Assia Djebar’s fiction with a reworking via Derrida of the Freudian melancholia-mourning dichotomy according to contradictory functions of memory is a standout chapter.'
