A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur :

This book provides a comprehensive analysis of Japanese literature and film through the interpretive lens of trauma studies. Focusing on depictions of protagonists who dissociated their childhood, adolescent and young adulthood traumas, failed to mourn their losses, developed psychological defense mechanisms of incorporation, substitution and revenge, were repeatedly triggered by unconscious situational reminders of their unintegrated traumas to reenact them and were unable to convert traumatic memory into narrative memory and thereby facilitate self-awareness and recovery, this volume will concentrate on literary and filmic texts in which traumatized protagonists are eventually able, through the creation of narrative memory and other means, to effect partial and advanced recovery. As such, the book will be of huge interest to students and scholars of Japanese film and literature, as well as those of trauma studies.
