Résumé : |
In the last thirty years, trauma studies have experienced a booming interest and representation among several fields, with most prominent of these being found in the literary field. Representation of trauma experience has become a main topic in many writings. Novelists such as Don DeLillo and Leila Aboulela used their characters‘ struggles to illustrate how trauma can be experienced and addressed in the fictional world. Both novels ―Minaret‖ (2005) by Leila Aboulela and ―Falling Man‖ (2007) by Don DeLillo have been used as an example to explore traumatic experience at an individual level, how it can be read, expressed, acted out and perhaps worked through.
The present research aims to showcase how the representation of trauma in literature is undertaken not only in American novel but also African one. Drawing on the traditional trauma theory and stylistic, this thesis reads through psychic trauma fiction and investigates any irregularities in the trauma experience and the language used between the two culturally different novels.
By the end of this analysis, we come to a conclusion that even if traditional trauma theory gives insight to the trauma experience, it lacks more means to a complete understanding of the individual trauma in different context. |
