Palgrave Studies in Queer Literary, Visual and Material Cultures: Comparative Approaches to Literature, Film, and Sound

Sathi, Anchit

This book reframes trauma as not just a response to violence but a structural condition of queer subjectivity—an aesthetic, affective, and epistemological impasse. Through provocative readings of literature, film, music, and performance, the contributors expose how trauma disorients narrative, troubles identity, and resists the consolations of resolution. Urgent and uncompromising, this book offers a bold rethinking of trauma’s role in queer theory, literary studies, and cultural critique.
