This paper attempts to dismantle the pattern of trauma narratives developed in Indonesian literature by the second generation of the Pemberontakan PKI Madiun 1948. This second generation carries an Islamic narrative that is opposed to Communism. The narrative position of the Pemberontakan PKI Madiun 1948 is different from the G30S PKI 1965, in which the first PKI was the perpetrator, and the second PKI was the victim. The trauma narrative appears in the Ayat-Ayat yang Disembelih (2015) biography by Anaf Afifi and Thowaf Zuharon. The second generation lacks direct memory, which in Marianne Hirsch’s view, is postmemory. Accordingly, the theory used in this paper is Hirsch's postmemory, which believes that the second generation inherits trauma through investment in imagination, projection, and creation. The analytical method used is the methodological implications of postmemory theory with qualitative data. The pattern of the trauma narrative that emerges from the Islamic narrative to the PKI is; reflexive secondary first-person and mental transmission.

“…As Choe puts it, Sophie is 'anything but neutral', even though she refuses to favour one side over the other: 'the neutral imperative to stay out of the conflict seems incompatible with the history's dirty hands'. 40 In short: there is no neutrality in the DMZ. Even just naming 'Korea' in the Korean language already involves making a linguistic decision that inevitably associates the speaker with either North or South.…”

Visual autoethnography and international security: Insights from the Korean DMZ

The purpose of this article is to introduce and explore the political potential of visual autoethnography. I do so through my experience of working as a Swiss Army officer in the Korean Demilitarized Zone (DMZ). Drawing on my own photographs I examine how an appreciation of everyday aesthetic sensibilities can open up new ways of thinking about security dilemmas. I argue that visual autoethnography can be insightful not because it offers better or even authentic views – it cannot – but because it has the potential to reveal how prevailing political discourses are so widely rehearsed and accepted that we no longer see their partial, political, and often problematic nature. I illustrate this potential in two ways: (1) how a self-reflective engagement with my own photographs of the DMZ reveals the deeply entrenched role of militarised masculinities; (2) how my positionality and my photographs of everyday life in North Korea show that prevailing security discourses are highly particular and biased, even though they are used to justify seemingly objective policy decisions.

“…A Guerra Fria e os impactos da energia nuclear foram alvo de estudo da formação identitária da editora de banda desenhada Marvel Comics e do modo como esta editora promoveu estas temáticas junto de crianças e adolescentes (Genter, 2007). Também o cinema tem contribuído para a reflexão das pós-memórias traumáticas, incidindo em tópicos tão diversificados como as reclusas marroquinas (Orlando, 2016), os períodos de fome na Ucrânia na década de 1930 (Gurga, 2012(Gurga, , 2014, os contributos da União Soviética para a memória do Terceiro Reich (Berghahn, 2006), a reflexão intergeracional sobre familiares aliados ao regime nazi (Berberich, 2011), a sinofonia após a revolução cultural (Chen, 2015), os laços sociais na zona desmilitarizada coreana (Choe, 2013) e os impactos e reflexões sobre a bomba atómica no Japão (Matsumura, 2008).…”
