Description:
The major catastrophes of the 20th century, most notably the Holocaust, have set victims trauma and witnessing at the heart of post-Second World War world consciousness. As a result, offering perpetrator trauma as a new paradigm and legitimate field of concern might at first seem problematic at this stage in history and may immediately and inevitably bring to the fore confusion, opposition, disapproval, and even repulsion. But the paradigm is not meant to undermine the victim's status in today's culture, let alone to sake the foundation of trauma ethics. The changing face of 21st-century war justifies a new perspective and a new epistemology for a post-victim/post-witness era. Here, Morag addresses the questions of how the trauma of the perpetrator manifests itself in the recent Israeli films, how the epistemological--and somatic--conditions of guilt should be understood, and whether this cinematic trend paves the way for Israelis to assume moral responsibility for their deeds.
