Through careful analysis, Loredana Bercuci uncovers the medium-specific demands for the representation of trauma in life writing in the context of the contemporary memoir boom. She broadly argues that for a trauma representation to be considered successful, each medium adapts its own means to adhere to a certain definition of trauma and in this manner a particular piece of life writing is accepted as a successful and reliable representation of trauma. The representation of trauma in these autobiographical media has created a new trauma aesthetics that is defined by a cautious (re)engagement with the real.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Loredana Bercuci\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1666967491\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781666967494\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Lexington Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/07\/2024\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 212\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover","brand":"Loredana Bercuci","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":46401609335039,"sku":"9781666967494","price":105.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_2ecdf81a-9f99-4db9-a363-94df00cf2dd3.jpg?v=1733888105","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/trauma-and-the-mediated-self-loredana-bercuci-9781666967494","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
