(In-)Visible Memories: A Study on Stories and Expressions of Intergenerational Trauma in Contemporary Israel

As a socially and culturally diverse setting shaped by the omnipresence of conflict, contemporary Israel is a field where multiple understandings of grief, death-worlds and resilience interact and shape local narratives and expressions of (intergenerational) trauma. By following a partially autoethnographic methodological approach, this thesis explores the roles that storytelling and memory play in making the past present in the family context; as well as the ways through which invisible agents such as deceased family members and loved ones engage with the living in shaping individual and collective traumatic experiences, narratives and discourses.
