LIT 382 Cultural Trauma and Memory

This course examines how cultural traumas are memorialized in literary and aesthetic texts. We will read key theoretical texts on trauma and memory from various academic disciplines. Drawing on interdisciplinary trauma and memory studies, we will analyze representations of culture trauma in literature, film, or other arts. Topics explored may include genocide and reconciliation, intergenerational memory, insidious and everyday violence, and trauma as experienced within non-Western memory systems.
