Traumatizing Theory: summary, description and annotation
We offer to read an annotation, description, summary or preface (depends on what the author of the book "Traumatizing Theory" wrote himself). If you haven't found the necessary information about the book — write in the comments, we will try to find it.
An interdisciplinary collection of essays that critically reflect on the value and limits of psychoanalysis for conceptualizing traumatic affect.
A page-turner for anyone even remotely drawn to the subject of trauma, Traumatizing Theory includes essays that go beyond psychoanalysis in rethinking the cultural significance of traumatic anxiety, melancholy, and the representation of suffering in testimony, self-narration, and politics.
Traumatizing Theory is unmistakably on the cutting edge and moves trauma theory into a new postmodern phase. Karyn Balls introduction reframes debates about psychoanalysis within trauma studies. Bettina Bergos essay revisits the historical development of hysteria as Freuds model for traumatic anxiety in both men and women. Dorothea Olkowski also focuses on traumatic anxiety, but problematizes Freuds masculinist and scientistic premises. Sarah Murphy and Susannah Radstone examine the disciplinary effects of public confession and testimony while Ball and Kligerman critique Deleuzes post-psychoanalytic Cinema books and Gerhard Richters haunted October 18, 1977 Cycle, respectively, as testimonies to the latent impact of traumatic history. For Astrid Deuber-Mankowsky, philosophy serves ineluctably as a medium of testimony in Sarah Kofmans autobiographical writings about ambivalence toward her biological Jewish mother and guilty love for the French woman who adopted Sarah during the Nazi occupation. Drucilla Cornell also explores conflicted self-narrations among transnationally adopted children and their parents. The collection concludes with essays by Juliet Flower-MacCannell, Lauren Berlant, and John Mowitt on the politics of traumatic identification in the public sphere.

Other Press is extremely pleased to offer Karyn Balls lucid, substantive, and serious collection, Traumatizing Theory: The Cultural Politics of Affect In and Beyond Psychoanalysis. A page-turner for anyone even remotely drawn to the subject of trauma, Traumatizing Theory contains eleven smart treatments of a wide variety of topicsfrom Deleuzes film theory, to Gerhard Richter, to the quagmire of adoption, to President Clinton as totemic Leader. This is a heterogeneous text in the best sense; there is no single agenda (psychoanalysis itself gets a little beaten up) but rather an energetic, fresh, and profound examination of everything under the black sun.
Traumatizing Theory is unmistakably on the cutting edge. The editor and the distinguished writers of her collection move trauma theory into a new postmodern phase. Grounded in history, this multifaceted study embraces philosophers such as Kierkegaard, Nietzsche, Heidegger, and Levinas as well as theorists such as Derrida, Foucault, Lyotard, and Deleuze. Traumatizing Theory is also politically savvy as well as, at times, poignantly personal; its theoretical sophistication by no means precludes an acute sensitivity to its delicate subject matter. Keenly aware of the tension between language and pain as well as the insidious trap of investment in the moral capital of trauma that anyone publishing on the topic is apt to fall into, this volume penetrates some of the most excruciating forms of human suffering, partly in an effort to demystify it by transforming its fragile traumatic affects into signification without losing contact with its semiotic traces.
Karyn Balls collection demonstrates that the Contemporary Theory Series at Other Press is by no means solely dedicated to Lacanian studies. Traumatizing Theory epitomizes exactly what this series wants: new theoretical work with crucial practical implications, books that stretch the boundaries of theory as they are currently surveyed and expose the necessary imbrication of theory with the world in which we live our quotidian lives. This series does mean to offer a dwelling place for rich psychoanalytic work, even as it welcomes all theory being produced currently in, for example, feminist, queer, and other political arenas; film studies; or aesthetics. We want to cast an intricately woven but wide net.

The editor would like to acknowledge the gracious support of Dr. Jo-Ann Wallace, formerly Chair of the Department of English and Film Studies, and Dr. Harvey Krahn, formerly Associate Dean of the Faculty of Arts at the University of Alberta, who generously provided the funding for the translation of Astrid Deuber-Mankowskys essay. I am also very grateful to Angela Facundo for her extensive help with the preparation of the manuscript, and to Jochen Schulte-Sasse, who encouraged me to pursue this project when I had abandoned hope. I dedicate this book to him.
