• Simon Bowie deposited The Fire in Which We Burn: Time and Trauma in Contemporary Television on Humanities Commons 2 years, 7 months ago

    In this short essay collection, Simon Bowie presents three meditations on the link between time and trauma in three contemporary television series: Twin Peaks: The Return, Star Trek: Deep Space Nine, and Watchmen. In particular, the book looks at how psychological trauma is often linked to non-linear representations or conceptions of time; how trauma manifests as a distortion of time into non-linear, non- homogenous forms.
