Book part: Post-Trauma. Towards a New Definition?
Abstract
According to Žižek, contemporary approaches to
trauma disregard Lacan’s most fundamental statement:
trauma has always already occurred. To state
that trauma has already occurred means that it cannot
occur by chance, that every empirical accident
or shock impairs an already or a previously wounded
subject. In this text, I want to chance a thought that
would definitely escape the always already’s authority,
which would give chance a chance. The chapter
goes on to compare the Freudian/Lacanian view of
brain trauma versus psychic trauma with contemporary
neurobiological and socio-political views on
trauma.
