Reading Trauma and Memory
Reading Trauma and Memory offers global perspectives on representations of trauma and memory while examining the tensions, limitations, and responsibilities that accompany the status of the witness. This series attempts to bridge the gap between trauma studies and new directions in the fields of memory studies, popular culture, and race theory and seeks submissions that closely read literature and culture for representations of traumatic wounding, the limits of memory, and the ethical duty to depict historical trauma and its effects.
Given its breadth, this series will appeal to scholars in a number of interdisciplinary fields; given the specific angle of trauma and memory, it will capture those who see ethics and responsibility as key factors in their scholarship. Such areas include: gun violence, segregation, housing practices, and the Black Lives Matter movement; Holocaust studies; war trauma and PTSD; pandemic studies, illness, and disability; the trauma of migration and immigration; memory studies; race studies; gender and sexuality studies such as the #MeToo movement); studies in popular culture that take up television and films about witness; and the study of social and historical movements.
