“…Online support for those affected in terror attacks has several manifestations. The use of the internet and social media as support mechanisms for terrorist victims in the UK saw most growth and impact after the London 7/7 bombings, with a number of online resources implemented to assist those in need (Lynch and Argomoniz, 2017). The now defunct Kings Cross United website, established by victims themselves, assisted in keeping survivors connected and was spoken of favourably in this research by all those affected by this attack.…”

Recent terror incidents in the UK, including the targeting of concert attendees in Manchester, to individuals socialising and working in central London, highlight the public’s vulnerability and that attacks can be indiscriminate, resulting in any individual becoming a victim to this fearful crime. As a consequence of these and other attacks, including those overseas, media reporting within the UK has increasingly focused on the inadequate levels of support offered to survivors from official agencies. However, little evaluation has been conducted regarding the benefits of support networks and online support groups created directly by those individuals affected by terror attacks. Quantitative research findings obtained through a self-administered online questionnaire, completed by 81 survivors of terrorist attacks who are members of different peer support networks in the UK, endorsed that while victims feel that adequate professional support is lacking, significant positive experiences have been achieved through peer support, particularly through the internet. This first independent academic study found that it was these methods of support that had the most resonance with individuals and offers several recommendations, based on findings, which could enhance and improve support for survivors of terrorism in the future.

“…Untuk mengatasi pengalaman traumatisnya, korban-korban terorisme, seperti korban tragedi bom Bali I, selain mendapatkan perawatan medis juga memerlukan terapi mental (Lynch & Argomaniz, 2017). Akan tetapi, upaya terapi mental tidaklah mampu memberikan efek yang maksimal jika dalam diri korban Bom Bali I masih terdapat hal yang mengganjal yang tidak bisa dilupakan.…”

Pada 12 Oktober 2002, dunia diguncangkan oleh peristiwa serangan teroris yang terjadi di Legian Bali. Dalam peristiwa pengeboman ini 202 orang terbunuh dan 300 orang luka-luka. Peristiwa ini merupakan salah satu aksi terorisme terbesar di Indonesia, bahkan dunia. Meskipun banyak mendapat perhatian dari peneliti, tetapi bagaimana peristiwa kelam ini diingat dalam produk budaya masyarakat belum mendapatkan perhatian. Luka Bom Bali (2017) karya Ni Komang Erviani dan Anak Agung Lea merupakan karya memoar yang berkisah mengenai pengalaman hidup korban tragedi. Karya ini menjadi teks memori yang menggambarkan bagaimana peristiwa ini diingat dalam ingatan kolektif masyarakat Indonesia. Artikel ini bertujuan mendeskripsikan representasi pengalaman traumatis dan strategi mengatasi trauma korban tragedi Bom Bali 1 yang tergambarkan dalam memoar Luka Bom Bali. Penelitian ini menggunakan pendekatan psiko-historis. Data dikumpulkan dengan teknik simak-catat dan dianalisis dengan teknik analisis isi. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan berbagai dorongan memori pasca-peristiwa pengeboman yang berada dalam alam bawah muncul dalam bentuk simbolis. Simbol-simbol ini menghantui kehidupan korban bahkan setelah 15 tahun peristiwa berlalu. Utnuk mengatasi trauma mental para korban menggunakan strategi memperkuat nilai religiusitasnya dan mengingat keluarga atau orang terdekat. Melalui analisis tersebut, kami berpendapat bahwa Luka Bom Bali merupakan state of memory kepedihan dan perjuangan korban terorisme Bom Bali 1 yang terus berjuang melawan luka fisik dan mental. Bahkan, setelah 15 tahun peristiwa berlalu para korban merasa tidak hadirnya pemerintah di tengah-tengah perjuangan mereka melawan rasa sakit. Para korban mengajak pembaca, khususnya generasi pasca-memori, untuk mengingat peristiwa ini dan belajar untuk memperoleh inspirasi dan pelajaran dari peristiwa yang terjadi. Karya ini mengajak pembaca untuk merasakan kembali trauma yang selama ini tidak tersuarakan dari perspektif korban, khususnya bagi generasi pasca-memori. On October 12, 2002, the world was shaken by the terrorist attack in Legian Bali. In this bombing incident, 202 people were killed, and 300 people were injured. This incident is one of the biggest acts of terrorism in Indonesia, even the world. Although it has received much attention from researchers, how this dark event is remembered in the cultural products of the community has not received attention. Luka Bom Bali (Bali Bombing Woundss) (2017) by Ni Komang Erviani and Anak Agung Lea is a memoir that tells about the life experiences of victims of the tragedy. This work becomes a memory text that describes how this event is remembered in the collective memory of the Indonesian people. This article describes the representation of traumatic experiences and strategies for coping with the trauma of the victims of the Bali Bombing tragedy as depicted in the memoirs of the Bali Bombing Woundss. This study uses a psycho-historical approach. The data were collected using the note-taking technique and analyzed using the content analysis technique. The results showed that various post-bombing memory impulses that were in the unconscious appeared in a symbolic form. These symbols haunt the victim's life even after 15 years of the incident. To coping mental trauma, the victims use strategies to strengthen their religious values and remember their families. Through this analysis, we argue that the Luka Bom Bali (Bali Bombing Woundss) is a state of memory of the pain and struggle of the victims who continue to struggle with physical and mental injuries. Even after 15 years of the incident, the victims felt the absence of the government during their struggle against pain. The victims invite readers, especially the post-memory generation, to remember this event and draw inspiration and lessons from the events. This work invites the reader to re-experience the trauma that has been unspoken from the victim's perspective, especially for the post-memory generation.

“…The families of these murdered people were waiting impatiently to learn whether they were dead or alive. Like other young men, Seamus Carney became a victim during the Troubles and the campaign of political violence which "inherently involves multiple incidences of victimization concentrated around particular segments of society, a high likelihood of multiple occurrences within the same family, and a very high likelihood of continued re-victimization and re-traumatisation in the aftermath of the violence" (Lynch & Argomaniz, 2015). Within the same family, multiple victimization is witnessed.…”

Jez Butterworth’s The Ferryman (2017) is a play about the Carney family living in 1980s Ireland during the period of insurgency of the Irish Republican Army (IRA – also known as the Provisional IRA) and its efforts to end British rule in Northern Ireland, a period known as “the Troubles”. This paper focuses on Jez Butterworth, one of the most distinctive voices of the contemporary British theatre scene and a typical representative of the 1990s cultural trend, and his tragedy The Ferryman, which portrays the struggle and conflicts between Catholic nationalists and Protestant loyalists in Northern Ireland in the last decades of the 20th century. The second major point of the study is that the power of the Irish Republican Party has a heavy impact on the play. The paper also discovers how Sean Carney and other members of his family both embody and apply the story of Eugene Simons and other members of “the Disappeared”. Like other young men, Seamus Carney became a victim during the Troubles and the campaign of political violence. The discovery of his body symbolizes how political violence created the Disappeared and shows that re-victimization and retraumatisation continue in the aftermath of the Troubles.
