This volume proposes that paying attention to how images of trauma and conflict are described in literary texts, i.e. to the rhetorical practice known as "ekphrasis", is crucial to our understanding of how such images work. The volume's contributors discuss verbal images of trauma and terror in literary texts both from a contemporary perspective and as historical artefacts in order to illuminate the many different functions of ekphrasis in literature. The articles in this volume reflect the vast developments in the field of trauma studies since the 1990s, a field that has recently broadened to include genres beyond the memoir and testimony and that lends itself well to new postcolonial, feminist, and multimedia approaches. By expanding the scholarly understanding of how images of trauma are described, interpreted, and acted out in literary texts, this collected volume makes a significant contribution to both trauma and memory studies, as well as more broadly to cultural studies. 410 0$aCulture and Conflict 606 $aLITERARY CRITICISM / General$2bisacsh 610 $aTrauma. 610 $aekphrasis. 610 $aliterary studies, image. 615 7$aLITERARY CRITICISM / General. 686 $aEC 5197$qDE-25/sred21$2rvk 700 $aLangas$b Unni$4auth$01434131 702 $aArmstrong$b Charles Ivan, $4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 702 $aLangas$b Unni, $4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 801 0$bDE-B1597 801 1$bDE-B1597 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910424624903321 996 $aTerrorizing Images$93586258 997 $aUNINA
