Transgenerational trauma refers to the situation where children are traumatizedby the experiences of their (grand)parents. It is a unique combination ofindividual, familial, and collective (cultural) traumatic processes. The intertwiningof these processes poses a particular representational challenge, onethat could be overcome by the comics medium. It was proposed by variousauthors that the visual language of comics is particularly useful for portrayingtraumatic experiences, such as the fragmentation of time, trauma’s belatednessand the haunting presence of the past. In this article I analyse twographic novels, Heimat: A German Family Album by Nora Krug and Sunday’sChild by Serena Katt, both of which explore the transgenerational perpetratortrauma, and the roles the authors’ families had during the Second World War.I show how the authors use representational and aesthetic choices that helpthem convey the process of fact-searching as well as emotional engagementand imagination that is characteristic for transgenerational trauma.
期刊介绍:
“Politička misao” je akademski časopis za politologiju i srodne discipline, koji od 1964. godine izdaje Fakultet političkih znanosti Sveučilišta u Zagrebu. Časopis je u pola stoljeća izlaženja stekao reputaciju središnjeg akademskog politološkog časopisa u Hrvatskoj i šire, naročito u nekadašnjoj Jugoslaviji, te u regiji koju čine post-jugoslavenske zemlje. “Politička misao” objavljuje priloge iz područja političkih znanosti i političkih studija općenito, odnosno iz svih poddisciplina politologije: političke teorije, međunarodnih odnosa, komparativne politike, hrvatske politike, javne politike, područnih studija, političke komunikacije, obrambenih i sigurnosnih studija i dr. Također, objavljujemo i članke iz područja koje nije moguće jednoznačno klasificirati po njihovoj pripadnosti samo jednoj disciplini nego se nalaze na „granici“ između dviju ili više disciplina: političke povijesti, ekonomske politike, političke filozofije, političke sociologije, političke psihologije, medijskih i kulturalnih studija i sl. Kao izdanje Fakulteta političkih znanosti u Zagrebu, objavljujemo i članke koji su neposredno vezani uz studijske programe na tom fakultetu. “Politička misao” je posebno zainteresirana za radove o hrvatskoj politici i društvu, za radove koji analiziraju Hrvatsku u globalnom kontekstu, kao i za radove koji istražuju politiku i društvo na Balkanu i u Jugoistočnoj Europi, u Europskoj uniji, u susjedstvu Europske unije, te na Mediteranu – regijama s kojima Hrvatska ima neposredni dodir.
