Book Synopsis De Facto Trauma Reconsidered by : Faten Haouioui
Book excerpt: This collection of essays revises contemporary trauma theory, from Freudian/Caruthian and post-structuralist perspectives. While Western trauma theory is often theorized according to post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), this volume discusses different forms of trauma that target decolonisation theories in Arab-Maghrebean and Afro-American contexts and Chinese narratives on courtesans. The contributors to this book also scrutinize the artistic representation of trauma in poetry and drama, adopting a cross-cultural approach to trauma theory.
