Memory and Trauma
How might we begin to think and represent traumatic events? What is the relationship between trauma, memory and mourning? Examine the representation of trauma and memory across a range of mediums including film, photography and visual art. Topics examined include: the limits of representation, authenticity, post-memory, affect and reparative aesthetics. Students will be introduced to theories of memory and trauma drawn from art history, feminist theory, history, literature, postcolonial studies and psychoanalysis.
