Trauma-Erfahrungen und Störungen des Selbst

The volume explores media and literary configurations of life-world traumata. On the basis of texts that deal with traumatic experiences, the volume reveals the role of art in processing existential crisis situations (death, illness), fundamental social ruptures (war, Holocaust, flight), as well as the manifold forms of culpable action (denunciation, betrayal).
