The central argument is that traumatic memories are frequently beyond the sphere of medical, legal, or state intervention. To address these different, often intertwined modes of language, the contributors provide a variety of disciplinary approaches to foster innovative debates and provoke new insights.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003ePrevailing definitions of trauma can best be understood according to the cultural and historical conditions within which they exist. \u003ci\u003eLanguages of Trauma\u003c\/i\u003e explores what this means in practice by scrutinizing varied historical moments from the First World War onwards and particular cultural contexts from across Europe, the United States, Asia, and Africa - striving to help decolonize the traditional Western-centred history of trauma, dissolving it into multifaceted transnational histories of trauma cultures.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Peter Leese\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1487508964\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781487508968\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Toronto Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/24\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 424\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.50lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.20h x 6.30w x 1.10d","brand":"Peter Leese","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":43989199519999,"sku":"9781487508968","price":100.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_f7dae8ba-7fff-4dde-9720-b38f3e5e8a56.jpg?v=1683298142","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/languages-of-trauma-peter-leese-9781487508968","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
