“…For example, Erica CapleJames (2015) shows how in Haiti, many people suffering from trauma continue to work and perform childcare and daily routines, and CarlGutiérrez-Jones (2003) analyzes the significance of humor in relation to trauma in Chicano culture.2 The definition of trauma has also become more inclusive in the later editions of the DSM, namely DSM-IV (1994), DSM-IV-Text Revision (2000), and DSM-V (2013). It now includes sexual violence within the core premise of trauma, encompasses a continuum of responses, enabling trauma to occur in varying degrees, and extends to vicarious trauma, which pertains to individuals who witness or receive traumatic events.…”

Rape, ritual, rupture, and repair: Decentering Euro‐American logics of trauma and healing in an analytic autoethnography of the five years after my rape in Sierra Leone

Responses to the trauma of rape vary. People find different responses helpful and a multiplicity of trauma theories should be considered. Through an autoethnography and critical phenomenology of myself and my collaborators in Sierra Leone after I was raped there, I analyze how subjective and cultural frames for managing rape impact an individual's processing of the experience; how they shape ideas of self, community, and world; and how they frame their unraveling and remaking. While I retreated, internalized, and individualized my rape, my collaborators wanted me to externalize it, let the community help, and undergo a ritual to disconnect me from my rapist. Cross‐cultural exchange can enhance understandings of responses to trauma and approaches to healing. This is done not to cement cultural frames, to localize or to particularize trauma, nor to overgeneralize but to consider interlocking factors, fill in politically created gaps in focus and memory, and consider multiplicity as enriching on a level playing field. This may help decenter Euro‐American notions of trauma and foster an ethics of care.

This article reviews the incongruity, the superiority, and the relief theories of humour. Challenging the dominant notion of humour as a coping mechanism, it explores humour’s potential for positive transformation. It investigates the uses of humour in Nigeria, including its social and even unsuspected psychological functions. It also inquires into the problem of a seeming rising incidence of unhappiness among Nigerians despite their much-vaunted humorous nature and despite the relief theory of humour being the dominant perspective in humour studies. By spotlighting the synergy of activism and art in humour, subliminal tendencies, and Nigerians’ distinct comic intelligence, the article attempts a nuanced analysis of the production and consumption of humour, with an accent on the growing activist-oriented humour on social media platforms, particularly Twitter. In contrast to traditional stand-up comedy, this activist-oriented humour is found to be generally geared towards real-time impact through a combined deployment of words and actions. The research puts forward illustrative examples of how social media humour has surpassed other more orthodox comedic practices and thereby engendered remarkable social and political impacts in Nigeria.
