Disperse the Nation: Don Mee Choi’s Poetry Trilogy
Alan Gilbert
For Choi, time becomes fused and stuck around trauma. To experience profound grief is to be taken out of the flow of time, yet “temporal magic” is what allows for an escape from the inexorable and crushing movement of history: grief as resistance and resistance as grief. There are very good reasons to lose one’s narratives, both as individuals and as nations. One of the goals of experimental writing like Choi’s is to disrupt official narratives, histories, and images along with, more importantly, their meanings—although they’re more like presumptions and predispositions—because narrative is a prime vehicle in which to smoothly embed them.

Walid Raad’s Spectral Archive, Part II: Testimony of Ghosts
Alan Gilbert
Continued from “ Walid Raad’s Spectral Archive, Part I: Historiography as Process ”
… we can no longer simply explain or simply cure. 1
A city, perhaps like a person, remembers the most when confronted with its destruction. The aftereffects of trauma are a different story. They frequently give rise to individual and collective amnesias, along with the psychological symptoms that congeal when a traumatic experience is too painful for consciousness to address directly.
