Abstract:
This article experiments with the applicability of modern trauma studies in applied interpretations of Lamentations. Using theories from Kai Erickson, Cathy Caruth, Ruth Leys, and more, this work will propose that Lamentations as a literary creation in response to trauma assumes the existence of its community beyond the trauma in which it was born.
