The chapters introduce complementary concepts from diverse thinkers including Cathy Caruth, Jacques Derrida, Judith Butler, Homi Bhabha, Abraham and Torok, and Joyce Carol Oates; they also draw from fields of study such as Memory Studies, Theory of Affects, Narrative and Genre Theory, and Cultural Studies. Traumatic Memory and the Political, Economic, and Transhistorical Functions of Literature addresses trauma as a culturally embedded phenomenon and deconstructs the idea of trauma as universal, transhistorical, and abstract.Palgrave Studies in Cultural Heritage and Conflict,2634-6427Comparative literatureLiteraturePhilosophyLiterature, Modern20th centuryEuropean literatureLiteratureCollective memoryComparative LiteratureLiterary TheoryTwentieth-Century LiteratureEuropean LiteratureWorld LiteratureMemory StudiesComparative literature.LiteraturePhilosophy.Literature, ModernEuropean literature.Literature.Collective memory.Comparative Literature.Literary Theory.Twentieth-Century Literature.European Literature.World Literature.Memory Studies.809Onega Susanaedthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edtdel Río Constanzaedthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edtEscudero-Alías Maiteedthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edtBOOK9910255087003321Traumatic Memory and the Ethical, Political and Transhistorical Functions of Literature2542856UNINA
