Short description:
This book breaks new ground in research on contemporary French and Spanish literature and studies on autobiography. Its appeal also extends beyond these fields to trauma and memory studies, and it shines a light on twenty-first-century works that have received little critical attention to date
MoreLong description:
Relational Responses to Trauma in Twenty-First-Century French and Spanish Women's Writing offers new insight into what it means to write relational lives. It broadens the parameters of existing discussions in terms of geography as well as genre, drawing together two literatures whose prominence in life-writing theory to date could hardly be more different: while French women's writing has long been at the centre of international discussions of autobiography, the relative invisibility of Spanish women's writing remains striking. The dialogue that thus underpins this study, between diverse twenty-first-century case studies and broader approaches to life-writing, shines a light on what is gained from inviting different voices into the discussion. These narrative projects challenge longstanding critical assumptions in autobiography studies and trauma theory about how writers can and should represent the multiple perspectives that are at the heart of intergenerational stories. In exploring the narrative solutions that these texts propose in response to the ethical questions they navigate, this book shows that writing relational lives rests on far more than the mere recounting of a shared history. 'Relating' in these texts, it proposes, is an act embedded in the telling of the story. It is a mode of testifying together to traumatic experience, one that reveals a powerful preoccupation in contemporary women's life-writing practice with making more audible the many voices and versions that go unheard.
Hannie Lawlor... offers a significant and timely contribution ... Her monograph skillfully challenges established autobiographical frameworks while expanding the geographical and linguistic scope of the field. Meticulously researched and theoretically incisive, this study shows how contemporary French and Spanish women writers are reshaping our understanding of what it means to write relational lives...Relational Responses to Trauma in Twenty-First-Century French and Spanish Women's Writing succeeds brilliantly in its dual aims of challenging existing theoretical assumptions and proposing new frameworks for understanding contemporary life writing.
