Is this a Culture of Trauma? An Interdisciplinary Perspective
This volume was first published by Inter-Disciplinary Press in 2013. The 20th century has been characterised by an unprecedented violence that seems to have left an imprint in contemporary societies: from the two World Wars or the terrorist attack of 9/11 to natural catastrophes or sexual abuse. All of these terrible experiences have been collected, represented, and communicated by many different people, especially in the last few decades, as seen in the high number of books and films dealing with traumatic experiences. As a result, an interdisciplinary ‘trauma studies’ field has emerged. At the 2nd Global Conference ‘Trauma: Theory and Practice’, an interdisciplinary conference hosted in Prague in the spring of 2012, academics and professionals met to explore and debate issues surrounding the experience of individual and collective traumas, their representations in art, and some theoretical approaches to trauma. This book is a collection of the papers presented at the conference, a snapshot of the current work in the field of trauma studies.
Practices of Proximity
Practices of Proximity investigates the appropriation of the English language taking place in the Australian literary contact zone between an official ‘white’ Australia—the apparent owners of both the land and the English language—and Australian Indigenous peoples. Rescuing the debate from seemingly peripheral locations—the ‘empty’ Great Sandy Desert, or the abject urban margin—it insists on the complex, ultimately open-ended and multilateral ownership of the English language by all who inhabit the intersubjective space of literature, rendering the inherited authority of who ‘owns’ meaning problematical and ethically suspect. Documenting the complex practices of bricolage...
Teaching and Learning Like a Feminist
"Teaching and Learning Like a Feminist is a conversation between academics in Women’s Studies and Gender Studies about the politics of pedagogy in higher education. What does it mean to embody feminism in universities today? Written in a creative narrative style, Mackinlay explores the discursive, material and affective dimensions of what it might mean to live the personal-as-political-as-performative in our work as teachers and learners in the contemporary climate of neo-liberal universities. This book is both theory and story and aims to bring feminist theorists such as Virginia Woolf, Hélène Cixous, Sara Ahmed and bell hooks together in conversation with Mackinlay’s own experiences,...
Portable Prose
Portable Prose: The Novel and the Everyday examines the novel as a privileged site for representing the everyday, as well as a physical object that occupies public and private space. This collection interrogates the relationships between these differing aspects of the novel’s existence, negotiating the boundaries between the material world, subjective experience, and strategies of representation. This collection offers a wide array of innovative novelistic explorations—with a focus ranging from nineteenth-century fiction to contemporary literary theory—and explores the portability of novels as both physical things and virtual hermeneutic devices. While mimetic qualities of prose remain an integral consideration for literary interpretation, this collection argues for more diverse frameworks—ones that see aesthetic components of the novel in close connection with reading practices, shared structures of feeling, and the corporeal. In this capacity, this volume will argue for readings of texts that consider the capacity for literary culture to move through the world, but also to make it or re-make it new.
