Kristine Stiles has played a vital role in establishing trauma studies within the humanities. A formidable force in the art world, Stiles examines the significance of traumatic experiences both in the individual lives and works of artists and in contemporary international cultures since World War II. In Concerning Consequences, she considers some of the most notorious art of the second half of the twentieth century by artists who use their bodies to address destruction and violence. The essays in this book focus primarily on performance art and photography. From war and environmental pollution to racism and sexual assault, Stiles analyzes the consequences of trauma as seen in the works of artists like Marina Abramovic, Pope.L, and Chris Burden. Assembling rich intellectual explorations on everything from Paleolithic paintings to the Bible’s patriarchal legacies to documentary images of nuclear explosions, Concerning Consequences explores how art can provide a distinctive means of understanding trauma and promote individual and collective healing.

Dopo Dire i traumi dell'Italia del Novecento. Dall'esperienza alla creazione letteraria e artistica, questo volume verifica l'ipotesi, provocatoria, dell'assenza di traumi collettivi nelle società occidentali dalla seconda metà del Novecento e analizza la sua traduzione nella narrativa, nella poesia, nel teatro e nelle arti plastiche dell'Italia degli anni Zero attraverso una "scrittura dell'estremo" quale compensazione formale ed etica. Rispetto all'assenza di traumi, di esperienza e di testimonianze dirette, da un lato la produzione culturale evoca una memoria ricacciata nelle pieghe del mutismo transgenerazionale che si esprime attraverso scritture neo-storiche e autofinzionali; dall'altro, nell'epoca della globalizzazione, si confronta con la considerazione del dolore altrui reinterrogando la funzione e le forme della mimesis. Ne risulta per la letteratura e le arti degli anni Zero in Italia la ricerca di nuove prospettive che rimettano l'empatia conoscitiva al centro della scrittura.
