Description

Revisioning War Trauma in Cinema: Uncoming Communities uses philosophy and critical theory to examine films that participate in debates concerning trauma and representation. This book reflects upon films that invent—rather than represent—the moment history breaks down. Jessica Datema and Manya Steinkoler propose a twenty-first-century way forward across problems of trauma, inheritance, and representation into exceptional communities of artistic invention.
