Eаrly in the term, we cоvered Judith Hermаn's "Trаuma and Recоvery," and unpacked the fоllowing passage: “The conflict between the will to deny horrible events and the will to proclaim them aloud is the central dialectic of psychological trauma. People who have survived atrocities often tell their stories in a highly emotional, contradictory, and fragmented manner which undermines their credibility and thereby serves the twin imperatives of truth-telling and secrecy. When the truth is finally recognized, survivors can begin their recovery. But far too often secrecy prevails, and the story of the traumatic event surfaces not as a verbal narrative but as a symptom.” Select any reading from this semester that you believe exemplifies the point Herman is making above. Your answer should (1) demonstrate your understanding of what Herman is saying (covered/explained in our lectures), (2) make a strong, clear connection to one text we read/watched this semester, and (3) identify particular excerpts/scenes that demonstrate the connection you are making. Lastly, your answer should (4) demonstrate your awareness/understanding of lectures. Meaning, your writing must reference and engage something we discussed in our class lectures (a concept, a slide, a question I (your professor) posed within the lecture).
