Between Trauma and Memory: Reflections Beyond Boundaries

Soman, Neha; Padmanabhan, B.; Kudale, Kaniphnath Malhari

This book is a collection of essays covering diverse perspectives within the study of trauma and memory. In its compartmentalisation into four sections, the book diligently analyses the literary representations of trauma and memory in the micro and macro levels of cultural contexts. Analysis of these representations can illuminate societal attitudes toward trauma, memory, and healing, as well as shed light on larger issues such as war, violence, oppression, and injustice, and help the readers gain a deeper understanding of the complexities of human emotions, reactions, and coping mechanisms. The ethical questions discussed in the book also engage with the notions of authenticity, and responsibility, prompting the readers with a sense of validation and solidarity.
