Demanding Witness: Women and the Trauma of Homecoming in Greek Tragedy
Weiberg, Erika L. (Assistant Professor of Classical Studies and Theater Studies, Assistant Professor of Classical Studies and Theater Studies, Duke University)
Demanding Witness argues that we need to reconsider the stories we tell about war's aftermath and its traumatic effects on soldiers and civilians. Many homecoming stories from antiquity to today focus on a "trauma hero" who returns home and overcomes pain and injury. Yet this story excludes many others harmed by war, including noncombatants, and fails to question why soldiers are going to war in the first place. Several Greek tragedies explore the traumatic effects of war on the home. This book shifts the focus to the representation and reception of women's expressions of trauma in these plays to expose the ripple effects of war, even on individuals and communities distant from the fighting.
