Abstract

Jeffrey C. Alexander’ın Cultural Trauma: A Social Theory adlı kitabı, kültürel travmayı yalnızca yaşanmış acıların temsili olarak değil, kimliğin, hafızanın ve anlamın toplumsal inşası olarak ele alırken; travmanın kolektif bellek, temsil ve söylem yoluyla nasıl üretildiğini eleştirel ve refleksif bir yaklaşımla inceliyor.
