[ACCUTE 2025 - Extended Deadline] Beyond Trauma (Studies)?

updated: 
Monday, December 2, 2024 - 5:18am
Association of Canadian College and University Teachers of English
deadline for submissions: 
Friday, November 29, 2024

This panel aims to provoke discussion of “trauma” and the critical paradigm that has grown up around it in our time. Especially since the publication of Cathy Caruth’s Unclaimed Experience in 1996, “the traumatic” has grown from a specialist analytic discourse to a catch-all framework that informs how we talk about everything from politics, to art, to personal relationships. In short, the concept of trauma today enjoys a culturally dominant status. In recent years, however, the narrative trope of trauma has served as a target for critics increasingly frustrated with its seeming omnipresence.

STS 2025: Textual Remediations University of Pennsylvania
May 28-30, 2025

It has been a quarter of a century since Jay David Bolter and Richard Grusin released Remediation: Understanding New Media. In it, they introduced the term “remediation” as a way of naming the friction generated by material forms as they shape content. Although remediation was originally conceived as “a defining characteristic of new digital media,” the term’s influence has been felt not only in digital studies but across a network of related fields, from book history and textual scholarship to media history and digital humanities.
