It visits testimony in relation to a range of critical developments, including the rise of Truth Commissions and the explosion and radical extension of human rights discourse; renewed cultural interest in perpetrators of violence alongside the phenomenal commercial success of victim testimony (in the form of misery memoirs); and the emergence of disciplinary interest in genocide, terror, and other violent atrocities. These issues are necessarily inflected by the question of witnessing violence, pain, and suffering at both the local and global level, across cultures, and in postcolonial contexts. At the volume's core is an interdisciplinary concern over the current and future nature of witnessing as it plays out through a 'new' Europe, post-9/11 US, war-torn Africa, and in countless refugee and detention centers, and as it is worked out by lawyers, journalists, medics, and novelists. The collection draws together an international range of case-studies, including discussion of the former Yugoslavia, Gaza, and Rwanda, and encompasses a cross-disciplinary set of texts, novels, plays, testimonial writing, and hybrid testimonies. The volume situates itself at the cutting-edge of debate and as such brings together the leading thinkers in the field, requiring that each address the future, anticipating and setting the future terms of debate on the importance of testimony"-- $c Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a Psychic trauma in literature. 650 0 $a Testimony (Theory of knowledge) 650 0 $a Witnesses in literature. 650 0 $a Recollection (Psychology) $x Case studies. 650 0 $a Memory $x Social aspects. 650 0 $a Psychic trauma and mass media. 650 7 $a LITERARY CRITICISM / General. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a SOCIAL SCIENCE / Violence in Society. $2 bisacsh 700 1 $a Kilby, Jane $q (Jane Elizabeth), $e editor of compilation. 700 1 $a Rowland, Antony, $e editor of compilation. 830 0 $a Routledge interdisciplinary perspectives on literature ; $v 28. 941 $a 2 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20180116063504.0 952 $l USUX851 $d 20170203040232.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=75E7AE244DE711E4A85DE8D9DAD10320Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
