트라우마 이론 연구의 새 지평 열기: 탈식민주의 트라우마 연구와 신디고 마고나의 『어머니가 어머니에게』를 통해서 = Expanding the Horizon of Trauma Theory: Postcolonial Trauma Studies and Sindiwe Magona’s Mother to Mother

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

The present study begins with a recognition of the urgent need to resolve the problem of challenges to the value and effectiveness of trauma theory as the limitations of trauma theory research have become a point of contention in recent years. A new trauma model developed by post-colonial trauma studies researchers provides one such possible problem-solving measure. This essay will perform two tasks that measure its efficacy. First, this essay will examine how this new trauma concept and model (“insidious trauma”), presented as an alternative measure by post-colonialism researchers, contributes to the expansion of the focus and scope of existing trauma theory research. Second, this essay will add the new concepts of “slow violence,” “boomerang effect,” and “implicated subject” to those aspects of post-colonial trauma theory that must be supplemented and improved to explain the sustainability of the trauma theory.
Using this background, this essay will thoroughly analyze Mother to Mother, a post-colonial novel. We will explain how new concepts in postcolonial trauma studies explain the decolonization of the traumatic history experienced by the ethnic minorities and non-Western characters in this novel. At the same time, this essay will examine how applying an improved model of postcolonial trauma to this discussion expands the horizon of trauma research by revealing the association between conflicts and trauma in a disparate world, meaning the First World (the West) and the Third World (post-Apartheid Africa).
