Synopsis

With contributions from Özcan Alper, Damir Arsenijević, Friederike Bassenge, Alen Drljević, Andreas Hamburger, Camellia Hancheva, Dženana Husremović, Lars Kraume, Dijana Jelača, Ajna Jusić, Cem Kaptanoglu, Stephan Komandarev, Maida Koso-Drljević, Nadia Kozhouharova, Gamze Özçürümez, Tatjana Petzer, Vivian Pramataroff-Hamburger, Goran Radovanović, Biljana Stanković, Svetlozar Vassilev, and Jasmila Žbanić. In the last decade, the concept of trauma has experienced a surprising boom in sociological and media debates. In a culture of outrage, blanket narratives of victimhood often overshadow the concrete, known social violations and their observable real economic and psychological consequences. The aim of this volume is to reflect on this shift in discourse and to compare it with the concrete historical backgrounds and psychosocial constitutions of countries that have been haunted by social trauma in different ways. In discussing feature films from Germany and four Balkan countries, the book presents the distinct social-traumatic histories, how they are negotiated in different societies, and the motifs cinema uses to narrate them. The award-winning films featured are Sadilishteto [The Judgement], Grbavica [Esma’s Secret – Grbavica], Muškarci ne plaču [Men Don’t Cry], Enklava [Enclave], Der Staat gegen Fritz Bauer [The People vs. Fritz Bauer], and Sonbahar [Autumn]. The individual film analyses are each accompanied by interviews with the filmmakers and introduced by overarching themes, the role of cinema as a place of social understanding in a post-traumatic society, and the methodology of film analysis. With contributions from the worlds of film, psychoanalysis, activism, psychiatry, film studies, literary and cultural studies, psychology, trauma studies, philosophy, psychotherapy, and human relations, this book has a broad appeal. It is a must-read for those looking for a deeper insight into social trauma and the impact of sociocultural factors, shown so clearly through the filmmaker’s lens.
