| Zusammenfassung: | "Fictional writing has an important mnemonic function for the Afro-Caribbean community. It facilitates an encounter between contemporary societies and their historical origins. The representation of diasporic trauma in the novels of Fred D'Aguiar, John Hearne, and Caryl Phillips challenges territorial understandings of nationality and raises awareness of the eurocentric basis of Western historiography. Slavery is a recurring motif of the nine novels analysed in this study. They narrate the fates of silenced victims who all share the traumatic experience of racial violence even if otherwise separated through time, space, gender and age. These charismatic fictional characters facilitate an empathic access to the history of slavery that goes beyond the anonymity of traditional historical sources. Their most private and intimate sorrows make the traumatic conditions of slavery appear much less remote and reveal their suffering. The euphemistic and distorting selection of the events that has been passed down by the dominant culture is thus countered by a relentless display of historical violence. These literary images establish an important symbolic repertoire and introduce powerful founding myths of the diaspora. In spite of the traumatic foundations of the community, the nine novels display considerable optimism about the possibility of a convivial future that transcends racial boundaries. The capacity and willingness to improvise and adapt to new environments and to do so even in face of a traumatic heritage can be regarded as the most important precondition for positive future developments within the matrix of a rapidly transforming global environment." -- |

| adam_text | Facing Diasporic Trauma
Self-Representation in the Writings of John Hearne,
Caryl Phillips, and Fred D Aguiar
Tictional writing lias an important mnemonic function for the Afro-Caribbean community. It facilitates an encounter between contemporary societies and their historical origins. The representation of diasporic trauma in the novels of Fred E Aguiar,
John Hearne, and Caryl Phillips challenges territorial understandings of nationality and raises awareness of the eurocentric basis of Western historiography . Slavery is a recurring motif of the nine novels analysed in this study7. They narrate the fates of silenced victims who all share rhe traumatic experience of racial violence even if otherwise separated through time, space, gender and age.
These charismatic fictional characters facilitate an empathic access to the history of slavery that goes beyond the anonymity of traditional historical sources. Their most private and intimate sorrows make
the traumatic conditions of slavery appear much less remote and reveal their suffering. The euphemistic and distorting selection of the events that has been passed down by7 the dominant culture is thus countered by a rcleitrless display- of historical violence. These literary7 images establish an important symbolic repertoire and introduce powerful founding myths of the diaspora.
In spite of the traumatic foundations of the community , the nine novels display considerable optimism about the possibility of a convivial future that transcends racial houndaries.The capacity7 and willingness to improvise and adapt to new environments and to do so even in face of a traumatic heritage can be regarded as the most important precondition for positive future developments within the matrix of a rapidly transforming global environment.

It facilitates an encounter between contemporary societies and their historical origins. The representation of diasporic trauma in the novels of Fred D'Aguiar, John Hearne, and Caryl Phillips challenges territorial understandings of nationality and raises awareness of the eurocentric basis of Western historiography. Slavery is a recurring motif of the nine novels analysed in this study. They narrate the fates of silenced victims who all share the traumatic experience of racial violence even if otherwise separated through time, space, gender and age. These charismatic fictional characters facilitate an empathic access to the history of slavery that goes beyond the anonymity of traditional historical sources. Their most private and intimate sorrows make the traumatic conditions of slavery appear much less remote and reveal their suffering. The euphemistic and distorting selection of the events that has been passed down by the dominant culture is thus countered by a relentless display of historical violence. These literary images establish an important symbolic repertoire and introduce powerful founding myths of the diaspora. In spite of the traumatic foundations of the community, the nine novels display considerable optimism about the possibility of a convivial future that transcends racial boundaries. The capacity and willingness to improvise and adapt to new environments and to do so even in face of a traumatic heritage can be regarded as the most important precondition for positive future developments within the matrix of a rapidly transforming global environment." -- Hearne, John / 1926-1994 / Criticism and interpretation Phillips, Caryl / Criticism and interpretation D'Aguiar, Fred / 1960- / Criticism and interpretation Hearne, John 1925-1994 (DE-588)123591988 gnd rswk-swf D'Aguiar, Fred 1960- (DE-588)114893284 gnd rswk-swf Phillips, Caryl 1958- (DE-588)115708359 gnd rswk-swf Geschichte 1900-2000 Caribbean fiction (English) / History and criticism Slavery in literature African diaspora in literature Psychic trauma in literature English fiction / 20th century / History and criticism Erinnerung (DE-588)4015272-8 gnd rswk-swf Sklaverei Motiv (DE-588)4204853-9 gnd rswk-swf Selbstbild Motiv (DE-588)4593379-0 gnd rswk-swf Afrika Motiv (DE-588)4133137-0 gnd rswk-swf Psychisches Trauma Motiv (DE-588)4578384-6 gnd rswk-swf Schwarze (DE-588)4116433-7 gnd rswk-swf Roman (DE-588)4050479-7 gnd rswk-swf Karibik (DE-588)4073241-1 gnd rswk-swf (DE-588)4113937-9 Hochschulschrift gnd-content Hearne, John 1925-1994 (DE-588)123591988 p Phillips, Caryl 1958- (DE-588)115708359 p D'Aguiar, Fred 1960- (DE-588)114893284 p Roman (DE-588)4050479-7 s Sklaverei Motiv (DE-588)4204853-9 s Psychisches Trauma Motiv (DE-588)4578384-6 s Erinnerung (DE-588)4015272-8 s DE-604 Karibik (DE-588)4073241-1 g Schwarze (DE-588)4116433-7 s Selbstbild Motiv (DE-588)4593379-0 s Afrika Motiv (DE-588)4133137-0 s b DE-604 Erscheint auch als Online-Ausgabe 978-90-04-30815-2 Cross cultures volume 186 (DE-604)BV004139094 186 Digitalisierung UB Passau - ADAM Catalogue Enrichment application/pdf http://bvbr.bib-bvb.de:8991/F?func=service&doc_library=BVB01&local_base=BVB01&doc_number=028764865&sequence=000003&line_number=0001&func_code=DB_RECORDS&service_type=MEDIA Inhaltsverzeichnis Digitalisierung UB Passau - ADAM Catalogue Enrichment application/pdf http://bvbr.bib-bvb.de:8991/F?func=service&doc_library=BVB01&local_base=BVB01&doc_number=028764865&sequence=000004&line_number=0002&func_code=DB_RECORDS&service_type=MEDIA Klappentext |
