Invisible wounds: Negotiating post-traumatic landscapes

Abstract

Invisible Wounds: Negotiating Post-Traumatic Landscapes emerges from a long-standing collaboration between researchers from the University of Sheffield and Museums Sheffield. It demonstrates how perspectives from creative practice and disciplines in the Arts and Humanities bring something distinctive to our understanding of places that have experienced and been shaped by trauma, as well as approaches to recovery, rebuilding and repair. Bringing together a collection of writing by researchers and their academic and artistic collaborators, each contribution explores places with difficult and violent histories, where the trauma that occurred there remains unresolved and persists in the present. By focusing on the cultural representations of such sites – in photography, art, literature and film – the book offers critical insight into how we might interpret and respond to post-traumatic landscapes beyond the traditional approaches of construction, development and infrastructure.
