Representing Trauma in the Arts: the Curious Case of “Quo Vadis, Aida?”

Ron Eyerman orcid.org/0000-0002-6332-5414 ; Yale University, New Haven CT, USA

Sažetak

Applying Jurgen Habermas’ distinction between the three knowledge interests‎ guiding scientific research, this article identifies three approaches to ‘trauma’,‎ a clinical approach, rooted in a medical model, a literary approach, rooted‎in psychoanalysis, and a cultural sociological approach. After elaborating on‎ each of these perspectives, and the various forms through which trauma is ‎represented aesthetically, the three are applied in an analysis of the film “Quo‎Vadis, Aida?”. It is argued that although they entail different notions of trauma,‎ the three are not mutually exclusive and can be combined in a rich understanding ‎of aesthetic representation.‎
