Writing History, Writing Trauma (Parallax: Re-visions of Culture and Society) by Dominick LaCapra |
Editorial Reviews
Review
"...demonstrates methodological strength in informative and enlightening close textual analyses. [Tal's] analysis of the collective trauma women suffer is excellent..." Choice
"This audacious and brilliant book is designed to make us feel, among other things, very uncomfortable...a strikingly original and valuable contribution." H. Bruce Franklin, Rutgers University
"[Tal's] careful comparison and discussion are an important contribution to our understanding of the social construction of profound traumatic experiences and how they are made tolerable by the surviviors and the wider society." Canadaian Review of Comparative Literature
Product Description
Worlds of Hurt presents a coherent rendering of the relationships between individual trauma and cultural interpretation, using as its focus the Holocaust, the Vietnam War, and the phenomenon of sexualized violence against women. Survivors of these traumas constitute themselves as unique communities and bear witness to their traumatic experiences both privately and publicly. The survivors themselves write a "literature of trauma"--born of the need to tell and retell the story of the traumatic experience, to make it "real" to the victim, the community and to the larger pyblic.
