What is trauma？
Trauma is a disruption of personal time which questions understandings of self because it recurs without anticipation continually to call into question our comprehension of the world and our movements through it.
We might also think of as an un-healing, open wound, contending that: it is essential for this narrative that could not be articulated to be told, to be transmitted, to be heard.
Compared to any other art form, through the design of jewelry, choice, wearing is the main way I for me to try to talk with trauma.
《Trauma Tragedy》- Patrick Duggan
Trauma has problematically become an increasingly over-used term in today’s society, so much so that it has almost lost all sense of meaning in its everyday uses. The word pervades all levels of our interactions in the world, from the most personal and private traumas experienced throughout life.
Dominic Lacapra implicitly draws attention to this performative element in Writing History, Writing Trauma (2001) when he suggests that trauma sufferers have a tendency to “relive the past, to be haunted by ghosts or even to exist in the present as if one was still in the past, with no distance from it ” (142-143)
The perpetual present of traumatic experience, I argue, creates a schism in one’s understanding of self; thus, trauma-symptoms are modeled as an ever-present doubling of the traumatic wound.
