Trauma has become a central paradigm for reading contemporary American culture. Since the early 1980s, an extensive range of genres increasingly feature traumatised protagonists and traumatic events. From traumatised superheroes in Hollywood blockbusters to apocalyptic-themed television series, trauma narratives abound. Although trauma is predominantly associated with high culture, this project shows how popular culture has become the most productive and innovative area of trauma representation in America. Examining film, television, animation, video games and cult texts, this book develops a series of original paradigms through which to understand trauma in popular culture. These include: popular trauma texts engagement with postmodern perspectives, formal techniques termed competitive narration, polynarration and sceptical scriptotherapy, and perpetrator trauma in metafictional games. Dr Sean Travers is an independent scholar based in Cork, Ireland. She obtained her PhD in University College Cork and has published several articles about trauma, popular culture, postmodernism, and American literature and culture. . 001450359 588__ $$aDescription based on print version record. 001450359 650_0 $$aPsychic trauma in popular culture. 001450359 650_0 $$aPsychic trauma in literature. 001450359 650_0 $$aPsychic trauma in motion pictures. 001450359 650_0 $$aAmerican literature$$y20th century$$xHistory and criticism. 001450359 650_0 $$aAmerican literature$$y21st century$$xHistory and criticism. 001450359 650_0 $$aPopular culture$$zUnited States$$xHistory$$y20th century. 001450359 650_0 $$aPopular culture$$zUnited States$$xHistory$$y21st century. 001450359 655_7 $$aCriticism, interpretation, etc.$$2fast$$0(OCoLC)fst01411635 001450359 655_7 $$aHistory.$$2fast$$0(OCoLC)fst01411628 001450359 655_0 $$aElectronic books. 001450359 77608 $$iPrint version:$$z9783031132872 001450359 77608 $$iPrint version:$$z3031132866$$z9783031132865$$w(OCoLC)1334718425 001450359 77608 $$iPrint version:$$aTRAVERS, SEAN.$$tTRAUMA IN AMERICAN POPULAR CULTURE AND CULT TEXTS,1980-2020.$$d[S.l.] : PALGRAVE MACMILLAN, 2022$$z3031132866$$w(OCoLC)1334718425 001450359 852__ $$bebk 001450359 85640 $$3Springer Nature$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=https://link.springer.com/10.1007/978-3-031-13287-2$$zOnline Access$$91397441.1 001450359 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:1450359$$pGLOBAL_SET 001450359 980__ $$aBIB 001450359 980__ $$aEBOOK 001450359 982__ $$aEbook 001450359 983__ $$aOnline 001450359 994__ $$a92$$bISE
