| Résumé: | The book of Lamentations and material in Jeremiah emerge in the period following the fall of Jerusalem in 587 BCE and have been analysed through the lens of cultural trauma theory. Although they both express the discursive tensions of the time, the way they enact the cultural trauma differs. This paper draws on the work of Todd Madigan to argue that Lamentations embeds the memory of a traumatic event into communal memory, whilst the trauma narrative of Jeremiah leads to the renegotiation of cultural boundaries, which leads to a new identity as a traumatised society. The distinction between narratives of traumatic events and narratives of traumatised societies offers greater interpretive clarity in the reading texts from this period. |
