Haunting Legacies: Violent Histories and Transgenerational Trauma (Columbia UP, 2010) - an interview on Schwab’s work is conducted by Martin Beck Matuštík. The faculty group in Philosophy, Rhetoric and Literature and the Center for Critical Inquiry and Cultural Studies at the New College of Interdisciplinary Arts and Sciences recently participated in a major interdisciplinary conference on Trauma Studies in October 2010. The Philosophy, Rhetoric and Literature faculty cluster held during spring 2011 a faculty seminar on Gabriele Schwab’s Haunting Legacies (2010). Martin Beck Matuštík teaches in Fall 2011 a graduate courseconnected to the symposium theme. The interview themes emerge out of the PRL faculty reading salon on Schwab’s work and the edited transcript of the conversation will be included in the volume of essays from the 2010 Trauma Studies conference (eds. Monica Casper and Eric Wertheimer).
