''We will cry a little but then we will forget'': Narratives of trauma and victory in post-war Yugoslavia
Palgrave Macmillan, 2022
Buch
Zugriff:
This chapter explores narratives and experiences of psychological suffering and loss in post-WWII Yugoslavia, focusing on film and literary sources, and psychiatric discussions. After the Second World War, Yugoslav psychiatric and broader political discussions of trauma were very short-lived, and focused almost exclusively on resistance soldiers’ ‘partisan neurosis’. Antic explores whether this silence was complete, and what political, social and cultural factors may have limited the development of languages of trauma. She describes how, starting in the 1960s, film directors and writers challenged the official narrative of heroic resistance and resilience, and insisted on examining the lasting significance of war-related psychological scars. Such artistic explorations of individual suffering undermined the government’s interpretation of the war victory, and critiqued the potential of the postwar order to induce further trauma.
