In these works, the Gothic functions both as an expression of societal violence at the turn of the twenty-first century and as a response to the related crisis of representation brought about by the contemporary individualâs highly mediated and spectatorial relationship to this violence. By locating these six novels within the Gothic tradition, this work argues that each text, to borrow a term from Jacques Derrida, âparticipatesâ in the Gothic in ways that both uphold the paradigm of âunspeakabilityâ that has come to dominate much trauma fiction, as well as push its boundaries to complicate how we think of the ethical relationship between witnessing and writing trauma. 648 7 $a 2000-2099 $2 fast 655 7 $a Criticism, interpretation, etc. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411635 650 0 $a English fiction $y 20th century $x History and criticism. 650 0 $a English fiction $y 21st century $x History and criticism. 650 0 $a Psychic trauma in literature. 650 0 $a Gothic fiction (Literary genre) 776 08 $i ebook version : $z 9783030267285 941 $a 1 952 $l USUX851 $d 20200103020029.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=E4075A54166311EA9B100A4E97128E48 994 $a 92 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
