Hardback. Condizione: New. Exploring life writing from a variety of cultural contexts, Haunted Narratives provides new insights into how individuals and communities across time and space deal with traumatic experiences and haunting memories. From the perspectives of trauma theory, memory studies, gender studies, literary studies, philosophy, and post-colonial studies, the volume stresses the lingering, haunting presence of the past in the present. The contributors focus on the psychological, ethical, and representational difficulties involved in narrative negotiations of traumatic memories. Haunted Narratives focuses on life writing in the broadest sense of the term: biographies and autobiographies that deal with traumatic experiences, autobiographically inspired fictions on loss and trauma, and limit-cases that transcend clear-cut distinctions between the factual and the fictional. In discussing texts as diverse as Toni Morrison's Beloved, Vikram Seth's Two Lives, deportation narratives of Baltic women, Christa Wolf's Kindheitsmuster, Joy Kogawa's Obasan, and Ene Mihkelson's Ahasveeruse uni, the contributors add significantly to current debates on life writing, trauma, and memory; the contested notion of "cultural trauma"; and the transferability of clinical-psychological notions to the study of literature and culture. …

Hardcover. Condizione: Near Fine. Condizione sovraccoperta: Near Fine. Tiina Kirss' signature in the title page. Text in English. 539 pp. Minor edge wear and rubbing to dust jacket. After a short period of independence, Estonia was occupied in World War Il by the Red Army, then Nazi Germany, and again, for a lasting occupation, by the Soviets. No wonder that a greater part of the roughly one million Estonians had harshly eventful lives. This anthology contains 25 selected life stories collected from Estonians who lived through the tribulations of the 20th century, and describe the travails of ordinary people under numerous regimes. The autobiographical accounts provide authentic perspectives on events of this period, where time is placed in the context of life-spans, and subjects grounded in personal experience. Most of the life stories reveal sufferings under foreign (Russian) oppression. The life stories in this volume were selected from among those submitted to a 1999 Estonian Literary Museum life story writing competition "One Hundred Lives of the Century." The goal was a composite "Estonian life story," a mosaic portrait composed of one hundred life stories spanning several generations in the 20th century. Neither "simple autobiography, nor "real history,"' life stories are complex sources for making meaning of the past. Rich in humour and salty joy as well as tragedy, these are the stories of survivors and their kin, letters addressed to a contemporary public hungry to know more about the untold and the silenced past, as well as to readers at home and beyond, those who hold the future.
