Description

Haunted Narratives explores how individuals and communities across time and space deal with traumatic experiences and haunting memories. From various disciplines including trauma theory, memory studies, and literary studies, the contributors examine the psychological, ethical, and representational difficulties involved in narrative negotiations of traumatic memories.

The book focuses on life writing in its broadest sense, encompassing biographies and autobiographies that address traumatic experiences, autobiographically inspired fictions on loss and trauma, and limit-cases that blur the lines between fact and fiction. Through a diverse range of texts, including works by Toni Morrison, Vikram Seth, Christa Wolf, Joy Kogawa, and Ene Mihkelson, the contributors contribute to current debates on life writing, trauma, memory, cultural trauma, and the transferability of clinical-psychological notions to literature and culture.
