Working Through Trauma: The Transmission and Representation of Trauma in Art Spiegelman's "Maus"

Bachelor thesis | Engelse taal en cultuur (BA)
Making use of trauma theory and Erin H. McGlothlin's concept of the third-level narration, this thesis will discuss how Vladek's trauma and its transmission to Artie are visually and narratively represented. An analysis of particularly the third level of narration in Art Spiegelman's "Maus" shows that Vladek and Artie do not succeed in fully working through their traumas.
