question:
” Many researchers writing on the theme of trauma have suggested the difficulty of accessing this experience through verbal means. Analyze one or more of the films assigned in the second part of the course (The three rooms of melancholia, Hiroshima mon amour, Chronicle of a summer, We drank the same water, Acts of killing, Cache) to demonstrate your own views on this issue and what you think we may learn from alternative media. Make sure to use specific examples from the readings, films and class discussions in your answer.”
