Is this a Culture of Trauma? ISBN: 978-1-8888-162-4. File type: eBook: pdf.

This volume gathers some of the papers presented at the 2nd Global Conference ‘Trauma: Theory and Practice,’ an interdisciplinary conference, hosted in Prague in the spring of 2012, where issues surrounding the experience of individual and collective traumas, their representations in art, and some theoretical approaches were explored and debated. This collection brings together case studies from the social sciences, such as clinical psychology and psychotherapy, as well as articles from the humanities that examine the aesthetics of trauma as represented in film, fiction, poetry, and the graphic novel.
