Trauma and Literature Beyond the Human

• Format: PDF

Produktbeschreibung

Ghost, Android, Animal challenges the notion that trauma literature functions as a healing agent for victims of pain and loss by bringing trauma studies into the orbit of posthumanist thought, revealing how depictions of non-human agents invite readers to cross cultural thresholds and interact with the "impossible" pain of others.
