The political power of trauma is seen through US, Israeli, and Japanese art forms as they reflect varied roles of perpetrator, victim, and witness. Traumatic complexities are traced from spirituality to movement, philosophy to trauma theory. And essays on authors such as Kafka, Plath, and Cormac McCarthy examine how narrative can blur the boundaries of personal and collective experience.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAmong the topics covered: \u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e  Television:      a traumatic culture.  \u003cli\u003eFrom      Hiroshima to Fukushima: comics and animation as subversive agents of      memory in Japan.\u003c\/li\u003e  \u003cli\u003eThe      death of the witness in the era of testimony: Primo Levi and Georges      Perec.\u003c\/li\u003e  \u003cli\u003eSigmund      Freud’s \u003ci\u003eMoses and Monotheism \u003c\/i\u003eand      the possibility of writing a traumatic history of religion.\u003c\/li\u003e  \u003cli\u003ePlacing      collective trauma within its social context: the case of the 9\/11 attacks.\u003c\/li\u003e  \u003cli\u003eKilling      the killer: rampage and gun rights as a syndrome.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis volume appeals to multiple readerships including researchers and clinicians, sociologists, anthropologists, historians, and media researchers.  \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2016-09-27\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Hardcover\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9783319294025\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-3-319-29404-9\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 254cm x178cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 399\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer International Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46547939819660,"sku":"9783319294025","price":179.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9783319294025.jpg?v=1772933766","url":"https:\/\/lateknightbooks.com\/products\/9783319294025","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
