Manosa Nthunya in conversation with Prof. Stef Craps, professor of English Literature at Ghent University.
Respondent: Dr. Thando Njovane lecturer in the English Department, Rhodes University
In this conversation on “rethinking trauma,” Manosa Nthunya speaks with Stef Craps about his body of work on “decolonising” trauma theory. They discussed the limits of trauma theory, the tension between cultural and collective traumas with reference to questions of inequality, racism, abuse, colonisation, suffering and Eurocentric biases. In her response, Thando Njovane offers profound insights on how we might think about trauma in new ways.
