Holocaust tropes -- Victim talk -- American survivors -- Trauma kitsch -- Television : watching the pain of others on daytime talk shows. Talking cures -- Trauma camp -- Popular literature : reading the pain of others in misery memoirs. Selling misery -- Fake suffering -- Forging child abuse -- Simulating Holocaust survival -- Epilogue : fantasies of witnessing.In Popular Trauma Culture, Anne Rothe argues that American Holocaust discourse has a particular plot structure-characterized by a melodramatic conflict between good and evil and embodied in the core characters of victim/survivor and perpetrator-and that it provides the paradigm for representing personal experiences of pain and suffering in the mass media. The book begins with an analysis of Holocaust clichés, and then explores the embodiment of popular trauma culture in two core mass media genres: daytime TV talk shows and misery memoirs.Psychic trauma and mass mediaHolocaust, Jewish (1939-1945), in mass mediaElectronic books.Psychic trauma and mass media.Holocaust, Jewish (1939-1945), in mass media.302.23Rothe Anne911244MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910461416303321Popular trauma culture2040776UNINA
