Considering the productive and problematic tensions between trauma and affect and their interest in irreducible experience, embodiment, and events, Traumatic Affect explores their movements and operations in literature, art, film, institutions and society. It asks how the relational subject conceived by affect theory might bring into question certain presuppositions common to trauma theory and how the ethical imperatives of trauma might require a rethinking of aspects of affect theory. This collection of essays considers circuitries and dynamic relations within, and between, affect and trauma, suggesting previously uncharted ways of thinking about testimony and witnessing. While both fields continue to independently offer crucial insights into individual and collective experience, an examination of the nexus of trauma and affect that develops new textual analyses and theoretical approaches is timely and necessary. Traumatic Affect explores the intersection of trauma theory and affect theory, two areas of significant relevance in contemporary literary, cultural and political studies.
