This interdisciplinary course considers particular cases of war, trauma, and recovery, including the Holocaust, the Cambodian genocide, and South African Apartheid, as well as current events in Darfur, Sudan, and Iraq. It examines the effects of political brutality; the function of discourse in political, philosophical and social contexts; and the capacity of interventions in the public sphere to respond to current traumas and prevent future ones.
