TRAUMA,POLITICS,& THE USES OF MEMORY
The collaborative project between professor Anna Parkinson (Northwestern) and professor Sarah Nuttall (Witwatersrand) focused on the relationship of international discourses on trauma to specific national contexts.
The result of the collaboration is the development of a new syllabus and bibliography on trauma and politics, the translation of Richard’s Latencias y Estallidos de la Memoria Inconclusa. Chile: 1990-2015 (a revision of her Crítica de la memoria: 1990-2010) as the volume Eruptions of Memory: The Critique of Memory in Chile, 1990-2015 (Polity, 2018), and a series of events on trauma, memory, and place.
The collaboration also included a graduate student exchange through the award of a Mellon predoctoral fellowship to support the participation of a graduate fellow based in South Africa to assist with the research for the course development during a visiting residency at Northwestern. The predoctoral fellowship was awarded to Candice Jansen who focused on the relationship of international discourses on trauma to specific national contexts.
