- This volume details both scientific and literary-critical studies of trauma, examining posttraumatic autobiographical projects by calibrating sciences of trauma (neuroscience and psychology in particular) and rhetorical strategies in representations of traumatic experience. The latter include a wide range of modes: autobiographical fiction, prison poems, witness testimony, autography, testimonio and war memorials. Drawing on approaches from literary, human rights and cultural studies that highlight relations between trauma, language, meaning and self-hood, this work reveals both the complexity of such autobiographical projects and explains the often predictable interrogative negotiations of trauma and its aftermath.
