This book focuses on non-fictional, visual narratives (including comics; graphic narratives; animated documentaries) that attempt to represent violent experiences, primarily in the Levant. It explores, from a philosophical perspective, the problem of representing trauma when language seems inadequate to describe our experiences.

Autorenporträt
Jeanne-Marie Viljoen is an academic in the field of Cultural & Literary Studies at the University of South Australia. Her abiding interest in exploring how communication about difficult experiences can occur through art in contexts where language cannot capture all we want to say, has lead her to focus primarily on non-fictional, visual narratives. Living and working in contested states with violent histories such as Apartheid South Africa, North Cyprus & Australia throughout her life drives her engagement with the postcolonial world.
