2. From PTSD to “national trauma”: The case of the Israel Trauma Center for Victims of Terror and War
3. Rechtman and Fassin, intheir description of the global landscape of suffering, explore different cases of mobilization of the moral economy of trauma: U.S. veterans, Israeli and Palestinian NGOs during and after the Second Intifada, refugees, asylum seekers, migrants, the Balkan conflicts and other situations of humanitarian intervention. In many of these situations, the appropriation and deployment of trauma discourse reproduces and naturalizes a variegated array of inequality and domination relationships. See Didier Fassin and Richard Rechtman, The Empire of Trauma (2009).
