Innhold
This course will investigate how literature both responds to, and helps us understand the nature of, experiences of loss and political violence. Through close readings of important literary works in dialogue with key texts concerning the phenomenon of trauma, it will address how literature relates to extreme historical experiences. Trauma as a concept will be made subject to critical investigation, and the singular challenge trauma poses to processes of representation, memory and reconciliation will be given scrutiny.
