Description

Pandemics, global climate chaos, worldwide migration crises? These phenomena are provoking traumatic experiences in unprecedented ways and numbers. This book is targeted for clinicians, scientists, cultural theorists, and other scholars and students of trauma studies interested in cultivating interdisciplinary understandings of trauma and posttraumatic conditions, especially resistance, resilience, and posttraumatic growth. Following clinicians’ invitation for trauma survivors to wear a philosopher’s hat, to engage in creative activities, and to employ cognitive exercises to combat psychic constriction, I introduce the concept of a Literary Arts Praxis. The Praxis is built on clinical research and literature seeped in existential, phenomenological, and aesthetic themes. I argue that an educational training in a Praxis might help trauma survivors to get at trauma, as they engage in imaginative escapades, while forging alliances with characters; interpretative exercises, such as triggering emotions through phenomenological experiences; and creative writing endeavors, that include turning testimonies into imaginative stories.

Author Biography:

Suzanne LaLonde holds a Ph.D. in French Language and Literature and has served as an Associate Professor of Cultural Studies at the University of Texas-Rio Grande Valley and serves currently as a Humanities Instructor in the Honors College at Texas Tech University. Her areas of research have centered on French and Francophone Literature, World Literature, Trauma Studies, Psychoanalysis, and Ecocriticism. In her book Paris and Its Revolutionary Ideas (2020), she invites readers to reconsider the concept of revolutions, which take place in minds and hearts, through an exposure to the arts populating the Parisian landscape. Her teaching record and interests center on French Culture, European Art History, Humanities Driven STEM courses, and Medical Humanities classses, including "Narratives of Illness and Reflective Writing" and "World Literature and Global Health".
