Studies from the last decade show the high prevalence of traumatic experiences, especially physical and/or sexual childhood abuse, among patients with depression. The results indicate that patients reporting traumatic experiences had earlier onset of depression, more depressive episodes and higher intensity of different psychopathological symptoms, compared to patients without the history of trauma exposure. The participants of present study were patients with depressive disorder diagnosis (n=37). The instruments were self-estimated questionnaires measuring intensity of psychopathological symptoms (SCL-90-R), number and kind of experienced traumatic events (Life Events Checklist, SLESQ), intensity of posttraumatic symptoms (IES) as well as sociodemographic factors and the history of illness. Results show that nearly 96% of depressed patients reported at least one traumatic experience and 65% of them reported childhood abuse (51% - physical and 27% - sexual abuse). Patients who had higher trauma exposure (greater number of traumatic events), were higher on scales of hostility, paranoid ideations and interpersonal sensitivity as well as on the scale of posttraumatic symptoms - compared to patients with lower trauma exposure. Similar results were found when patients reporting childhood abuse were compared to patients without such experiences. Patients, who experienced childhood abuse, reported also earlier age of the onset of depression and over three times more psychiatric hospitalizations than not-abused ones.

The article analyses how the representation of the traumatic past in a museum may affect the shaping of national identity. In the first part, which refers to several theoretical traditions (psychoanalysis, narrativism, critical theory), the author discusses the relations between the representation of the past and the interpretation of the collective trauma offered to the spectator. In the second part these phenomena are analysed on the basis of three museums: Yad Vashem in Jerusalem, Terror Háza in Budapest and the Museum of the Warsaw Uprising.

The aim of the study was to assess the impact of temperament and trauma considered as predictors of PTSD experienced under flood. Two samples were studied. In the first one composed of 384 subjects PTSD was assessed three and 15 months (N = 321) after flood. In the second sample (N = 378) PTSD was assessed two years after disaster and retrospectively few weeks after flood. For measuring PTSD the PTSD – Factorial Version Inventory constructed by the authors was administered. Apart from a total score the PTSD-F allows for assessing intrusion/hyperarousal (I/H) and avoidance/numbing (A/N). Three temperamental traits were selected for the purpose of this study – emotional reactivity, briskness and perseveration measured by the Formal Characteristics of Behavior – Temperament Inventory. Intensity of trauma was assessed via structured interview. For analyzing the data coefficients of correlation and hierarchical regression were introduced. It came out that the impact of temperament and trauma as predictors of PTSD is stronger for long-term PTSD. Several interactions between trauma and temperament were obtained. Trauma and emotional reactivity are the best predictors and this refers to the total score of PTSD as well as to the two basic factors – I/H and A/N.

The article reveals various relations between wartime trauma and the urban experience. The eponymous reading of wartime cartography is an attempt at analysing (based on the works, among others, by M. Białoszewski, M. Głowiński, Cz. Miłosz, and W. Szpilman) spatial practices (as understood by M. de Certeau) characteristic of the times of war. Simultaneously, the focus of interest falls on the tension between the statics, the symbolic gesture of leaning over a map in military headquarters, and the vectors of movement, the dynamics that befalls the inhabitants of the areas where military activity is taking place.

For a long time the Haitian zombie has been the subject of fascination, an inspiration for popular culture, and one of the globally recognized cultural idioms. This article is an attempt to confront up-to-date research and theory and to provide a holistic summary of the entire spectrum of the cultural and social phenomena to which the concept of a zombie is linked. First, the text focuses on the origins of the belief in zombies, its perception and the social role that is attributed to it, and the process of its creation - from the intertwined perspective of the Voodoo religion and Haitian folklore. This is followed by an analysis of the zombie and zombification as a cultural idiom and metaphor, shaped by the acculturation and traumatic social experiences in a historical perspective. In the postcolonial and neocolonial era the zombie was the subject of reinterpretation and often of ideological manipulation. Haitian literature exemplifying the intellectual discourse of the island uses zombification as a symbol of deprivation and the social and psychological destruction of personality and identity. The discourse of the North, on the other hand, exploits the idiom of a zombie as a tool of the impounded representation of Haitians, where the myth of the living dead allows for the creation of new meanings and ideological structures of political and economical hegemony.

Wroclaw and Opole were the two biggest Polish cities afflicted by the huge flood of 1997. Research conducted 9 months and 3 years after this disaster (Wroclaw and Opole, respectively), compares the opinions of people who lived in (a) flooded areas, (b) places threatened with flooding which avoided the calamity thanks to inhabitants and rescue teams' heroic struggle, and (c) areas under no threat of flooding due to their location. The research analyzed whether the place of residence influenced perceptions of varied advantages which research participants could perceive as consequences of the flood. Quite surprisingly, it turned out that the perception of interpersonal relations was better in places where the inhabitants struggled against the disaster than in those not threatened by the flood.

The essay focuses on the problem of trauma and the fear which it yields, and which becomes the source of monstrosity. “An encounter with a monster” (a traumatic experience) becomes a central element of numerous lullabies of various types (both: folk and literary ones). The analysis of lullabies’ fragments as well as of the selected motifs of the film The milk of sorrow (La teta asustada, directed by Claudia Llosa) aims to show the presence of monsters in the relationship between mothers and children, and their role in the development of an individual. The author also tries to show the complex relations between fictitious monsters and an image of a monstrous and incomprehensible reality.

This paper refers to the phantasm of Poland as an oasis of freedom which functions as a historical doctrine. The text is focused on the exclusivism of the dominant narration and its effects. I consider the most important of these: the repressed trauma of the social object of biopower, displacement and the “acting out” of this trauma, and false memory/identity as the price of “being included in the nation”.

All the accounts presented by guides showing Warsaw to assorted visitors contain a considerable dose of martyrology: much is said about violence. The material reality of the Muranów district, however, entails non-remembrance. The original project launched by Lachert was to recall violence, but its ideological premises, which compelled people to inhabit grey housing estates made out of rubble-concrete, were rapidly tamed so that it became possible to forget. Oxygenator, realised in the summer of 2007 by Joanna Rajkowska, countered the project of a monument commemorating the victims of the Volhynian Massacre, immersed in a plebeian aesthetic of the macabresque and emotions straight out of a horror movie. What does 'restoring memory' to Warsaw and Muranów actually denote? Does it signify a mere process of bringing up to date the narration of a non-existent town, and of including into the memory of the Second World War motifs which for many years remained outside the official discourse? The answer is: yes, or even: above all else. This, however, also means a restoration of the memory of the residents of post-war Muranów - in other words, understanding the phenomenon of non-remembrance.

FACING THE FACE: TO BE OR NOT TO BE DON QUIJOTE

The article presents a “preposterous” updating of Don Quijote, in the face of trauma, contemporary slavery, and the importance of a social face-to-face, or interfaces, to help people to come out of their isolation inflicted on them by violence. The argument begins with the “updating” of a literary monument, an instance of cultural heritage that never lost its relevance for whatever era in which it functions. The focus on trauma makes this particularly necessary, since those on whom the stagnation and isolation violence cause has been inflicted, must be helped socially. Taking seriously not that but why some people seem “mad” is a collective task for humans. We can all contribute to that remedial interfacing. Through its special complexity, subtlety and temporality, art can facilitate this. The video installation Don Quijote: Sad Countenances presents an attempt to do this. Especially the episode “Who Is Do Quijote” is central in the article. There, some characters discuss the value and possibility of history, the authorship of Cervantes’ novel, and the importance of the literary imagination, while the figure of Don Quijote, in front of a large mirror, exposes himself to an artist-photographer who tries to capture his face.

The aim of this article was to investigate the link between temperamental traits, stress coping styles, social support and the trauma symptoms in HIV-positive women and men. These studies were run on 310 HIV - positive people: 157 men and 153 women. In the research following questionnaires were used: Formal Characteristics of Behavior - Temperament Inventory (FCB-TI), Coping Inventory for Stressful Situations (CISS), Berlin Social Support Scales (BSSS) and the factorial version of PTSD Inventory (PTSDF). The results suggest that HIV - positive men differ from HIV - positive women in stress coping styles. Concentrated on emotions stress coping style, sensor sensitivity and support seeking are highly correlated with the trauma symptoms in HIV - positive women and men.

Through a selection of literary texts featuring cockroaches in the wake of Franz Kafka’s Gregor Samsa in Metamorphosis (1915): Clarice Lispector’s A paixão segundo G.H. (1964; The Passion According to G.H., 1988), Marc Estrin’s Insect Dreams: The Half-Life of Gregor Samsa (2002), Scholastique Mukasonga’s Inyenzi ou les Cafards (2006; Cockroaches, 2016), and Rawi Hage’s Cockroach (2008), this article shows how these authors politicize the cockroach as a bestia sacra between trauma and resilience. These literary works are exemplary in demonstrating how Anthropocene fiction resists and destabilizes bio-politically charged species metaphors with their dehumanizing agency. How do these authors, in writing beyond Kafka’s doomed human cockroach, liberate the species blattodae from its aura of dehumanization and draw on the resilience of this ancient species in the face of adversity and as a model for human agency?

Although the apartheid regime in South Africa collapsed in 1990, its memory continues to live in the present. In the 1990's, the trauma of the past was the most widespread literary subject. Although South African writing has since partly moved beyond the apartheid trauma towards the current issues of crime, HIV, xenophobia and homophobia, these continue to be explored by focusing on the trauma experiences. Modern trauma theory has become one of the most important cultural hermeneutic tools with which this literature has been analysed. This paper traces the parallels between trauma theory, post-structuralism and narratology to reflect upon the similarities and differences between psychoanalytic therapy and novelistic/autobiographical narrative as a space for collective national healing.

This study utilizes the analytical tools of the theory of trauma narrative and postmodern historiography in an interpretation of contemporary Slovak novels thematising the collective trauma of August 1968 (Rankov, Krištúfek, Grendel, Klimáček, Baláž). The issues under exploration are the dilemmas of historical fiction about socialism in the contemporary context, in which the traumatic events of August 1968 became probably the most remediated narrative, a “site of memory” of (Czecho) Slovak identity. The study analyses literary approaches and ideological assumptions of these texts, in which tension arises between history and fiction and at the same time between therapeutic, ideological and artistic reconstructions of history.

This essay reviews the exceptional and outstanding, interdisciplinary book by Sławomir Kapralski, Naród z popiołów: Pamięć zagłady a tożsamość Romów [Nation out of the Ashes: The Memory of Destruction and the Identity of the Romani] against the background of literature in memory studies. It outlines the structure and composition of the book and focuses on the author’s most important propositions in sociological theory. The following propositions are presented and critically reviewed: creative reconstruction and synthesis of identity theories, redefinition of the notion of social memory, general conception and general theory of memory, middle range theory of memory production, and conception of the role of trauma in relation to memory and identity. These propositions, although they require further refinement, amendment or reformulation, are considered an immensely important contribution to sociological theory. The conceptions and theories about the relations between memory, trauma and identity that have grown out of the study of the Romani are also applicable to other collectivities.

GENRE HYBRIDITY, SELF-DISCOVERY AND TRAUMA: ANDREA TOMPA’S THE HANGMAN’S HOUSE

Andrea Tompa’s novel A hóhér háza (2010; The Hangman’s House, 2021) gives insight into a teenage girl’s coming of age during the last decades of the Ceauşescu regime. Recounting the story of three generations of a Transylvanian intelligentsia family, from the 1940s until the fall of the dictatorship in 1989, the novel depicts all the crucial moments of 20th-century Transylvanian history. At its crux stands a journey of self-discovery, which gains meaning in the context of the family history. This duality is reflected in the hybridity of the novel’s genre. Tompa’s work is of a hybrid genre that, in addition to the dominant presence of the autobiographical novel, encompasses elements of the Bildungsroman and the family novel. Self-discovery and family history are joined together in the protagonist’s character, as the traumatic experiences of the family past become crucial parts of the protagonist’s self-knowledge and personality through post-memory.
