Trauma -- Trauma: Theories and Practice
About Trauma	English (USA)
Welcome to the Trauma: Theories and Practice project em-mail discussion group. This inter-, trans- and multi-disciplinary project seeks to examine and explore issues surrounding individual and collective trauma, both in terms of practice, theory and lived reality. Trauma studies have emerged from its foundation in psychoanalysis to be a dominant methodology for understanding contemporary events and our reactions to them. Critics have argued that we live in a “culture of trauma”. Repeated images of suffering and death form our collective and/or cultural unconscious. This project seeks in particular to explore the relation between trauma, memory and identity, both national and collective.
