It goes on, via a critique of existing positions, to relocate trauma theory in a postcolonial and globalized world, theoretically, aesthetically and materially, and focuses on non-Western accounts and understandings of trauma, memory and suffering. Part two, \u003ci\u003ePolitics and Subjectivity\u003c\/i\u003e, turns explicitly to politics and subjectivity, focussing on the state and the various forms of subjection to which it gives rise, and on human rights, biopolitics and community.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eEach chapter, in different ways, advocates a movement beyond the sort of texts and concepts that are the usual focus for trauma criticism and moves this dynamic network of ideas forward.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eWith contributions from an international selection of leading critics and thinkers from the US and Europe, this volume will be a key critical intervention in one of the most important areas in contemporary literary criticism and theory.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGert Buelens\u003c\/strong\u003e is Professor of English at Ghent University, and Director of LITRA, the Centre for Literature and Trauma there.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSam Durrant\u003c\/strong\u003e is Senior Lecturer in Postcolonial Literature at the University of Leeds.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRobert Eaglestone\u003c\/strong\u003e is Professor of Contemporary Literature and Thought at Royal Holloway, University of London, and Director of the Holocaust Research Centre there.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 182\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.5 x 9.1 x 6.1 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e October 09, 2013\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52702397727027,"sku":"9780415694599","price":115.52,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0300\/5595\/6612\/files\/UGZZcEwxaWo4RWlpWW44R29pS3NvUT09.webp?v=1763305248","url":"https:\/\/www.vysn.com\/products\/the-future-of-trauma-theory-contemporary-literary-and-cultural-criticism-paperback","provider":"VYSN","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
