A History of Scars
Author: Laura Lee
Publisher: Atria Books
ISBN: 1982127287
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 208
Book Description
From a writer whose work has been called “breathtaking and dazzling” by Roxane Gay, this moving, illuminating, and multifaceted memoir explores, in a series of essays, the emotional scars we carry when dealing with mental and physical illnesses—reminiscent of The Collected Schizophrenias and An Unquiet Mind. In this stunning debut, Laura Lee weaves unforgettable and eye-opening essays on a variety of taboo topics. In “History of Scars” and “Aluminum’s Erosions,” Laura dives head-first into heavier themes revolving around intimacy, sexuality, trauma, mental illness, and the passage of time. In “Poetry of the World,” Laura shifts and addresses the grief she feels by being geographically distant from her mother whom, after being diagnosed with early onset Alzheimer’s, is relocated to a nursing home in Korea. Through the vivid imagery of mountain climbing, cooking, studying writing, and growing up Korean American, Lee explores the legacy of trauma on a young queer child of immigrants as she reconciles the disparate pieces of existence that make her whole. By tapping into her own personal, emotional, and psychological struggles in these powerful and relatable essays, Lee encourages all of us to not be afraid to face our own hardships and inner truths.

Book Description
How can we change the perspective of our scars from a symbol of trauma to a symbol of healing? Society teaches us that we should hide our scars and conceal their stories but a scar’s visible imprint, or hidden emotional memory, can forever change the way a person sees themselves. Embedded Memories & Community Imprints: The Scars that Live Within Us demonstrates that by choosing to share the stories of our wounds with others through collaborative movement experiences, we can find individual and community healing. People can associate new memories with their “scar story” and develop an alternate aesthetic appreciation for it. This two-pronged project utilizes personal histories as an entry to self-reflection, creativity, empathy, memory, and ultimately, healing. Part 1, Embedded Memories, is a sensory-rich installation illuminated by silk lanterns and lighting pieces worn by the dancers. The creative process of the work began as an investigation of my own scar from ACL reconstructive surgery and continued through an investigation of healing through Japanese philosophies of three specific modalities: Kintsugi, Reiki, and Butoh. Embedded Memories is an amalgamation of this research and the contributions of community members who participate in Part 2, Community Imprints, a tandem creative residency which uses conversation, reflection, and collaborative art making to spark meaningful connections between people. By engaging with our personal histories or “scar stories,” performers, participants, and audience members will have a transformative experience creating new perspectives while acknowledging these experiences as valuable and meaningful parts of us.

Post-Industrial Landscape Scars
Author: A. Storm
Publisher: Palgrave Macmillan
ISBN: 9781137581556
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 0
Book Description
Post-industrial landscape scars are traces of 20th century utopian visions of society; they relate to fear and resistance expressed by popular movements and to relations between industrial workers and those in power. The metaphor of the scar pinpoints the inherent ambiguity of memory work by signifying both positive and negative experiences, as well as the contemporary challenges of living with these physical and mental marks. In this book, Anna Storm explores post-industrial landscape scars caused by nuclear power production, mining, and iron and steel industry in Malmberget, Kiruna, Barsebäck and Avesta in Sweden; Ignalina and Visaginas/Snie?kus in Lithuania/former Soviet Union; and Duisburg in the Ruhr district of Germany. The scars are shaped by time and geographical scale; they carry the vestiges of life and work, of community spirit and hope, of betrayed dreams and repressive hierarchical structures. What is critical, Storm concludes, is the search for a legitimate politics of memory. The meanings of the scars must be acknowledged. Past and present experiences must be shared in order shape new understandings of old places.
