 The Wounds of Nations: Horror Cinema , Historical Trauma and National Identity By Linnie Blake 2008 | 208 Pages | ISBN: 0719075939 | PDF | 2 MB TheWoundsof Nationsexplores the ways in which horror films allow international audiences to deal with the horrors of recent history--from genocide to terrorist outrage andnuclear war to radical political change. Far from being mere escapism or titillation, it shows how horror (whether it be from 1970s America, 1980s Germany, post-Thatcherite Britain or post-9/11 America) is in fact a highly political and potentially therapeutic film genre that enables us to explore, and potentially recover from, the terrors of life in the real world.Exploring a wide range of stylistically distinctive and generically diverse film texts, Blakeproffers a radical critique of the nation-state and the ideologies of identity it promulgates, showing that horror cinema can offer us a disturbing, yet perversely life affirming, means of working through the traumatic legacy of recent times.  Adam Kirsch, "The Wounded Surgeon: Confession and Transformation in Six American Poets" English | 2005 | ISBN: 0393051978 | EPUB | pages: 299 | 0.6 mb "One of the most promising young poet-critics in America" (Los Angeles Times) examines a revolutionary generation of poets.  The Wounded Healer: The Pain and Joy of Caregiving by Omar Reda English | March 15th, 2022 | ISBN: 1324019239 | 224 pages | True EPUB | 0.82 MB Finding meaning in trauma work, as a traumatized healer yourself.  The Wounded Body: Memory, Language and the Self from Petrarch to Shakespeare English | 2022 | ISBN: 303091903X | 411 Pages | PDF | 6 MB This edited collection explores the image of the wound as a 'cultural symptom' and a literary-visual trope at the core of representations of a new concept of selfhood in Early Modern Italian and English cultures, as expressed in the two complementary poles of poetry and theatre. The semantic field of the wounded body concerns both the image of the wound as a traumatic event, which leaves a mark on someone's body and soul (and prompts one to investigate its causes and potential solutions), and the motif of the scar, which draws attention to the fact that time has passed and urges those who look at it to engage in an introspective and analytical process. By studying and describing the transmission of this metaphoric paradigm through the literary tradition, the contributors show how the image of the bodily wound―from Petrarch's representation of the Self to the overt crisis that affects the heroes and the poetic worlds created by Ariosto and Tasso, Spenser and Shakespeare―could respond to the emergence of Modernity as a new cultural feature.  Jonathan Kirsch, "The Woman Who Laughed at God: The Untold History of the Jewish People" English | 2002 | ISBN: 0142196118, 0670030090 | EPUB | pages: 317 | 0.8 mb Who is a Jew? In this colorful, eye-opening work, bestselling author and lecturer Jonathan Kirsch takes us on a three-thousand-year tour of Jewish identity and diversity and offers answers to this complex and difficult question. Kirsch reveals that Judaism has never been a religion of strict and narrow orthodoxy. For every accepted tradition in Jewish faith there are countertraditions rooted in biblical antiquity: the Maccabee freedom fighters who closed the Bible and picked up swords, dervish-like ecstatics who claimed to enjoy direct communication with God even after they had been excommunicated by a distrustful rabbinate, and courageous men and women who were the forgotten heroes of the Holocaust. With drama and narrative verve, Kirsch explores these and many other "Judaisms" that make up the rich tapestry of Jewish identity.
