Example text
He even interprets the anatomical poster in the doctor’s office, depicting a bluish THE BLACK HOLES OF HISTORY: NARRATIVES OF CULTURAL TRAUMA 39 man with his chest “cleaved open” and the top of his skull “sawn off,” as a morbid hint of what is awaiting him. Moreover, Pet’ka considers (the apparently friendly) Kanashnikov as one of the most horrifying characters from his nightmares; when Chapaev asks Pet’ka about his dreams, the latter answers: “the night before I did dream about the clinic, and do you know what happened?
How to tell a cohesive story in the wake of violent events whose existence had been withheld by the regime, or if known were just too painful or traumatic to confront? Put even more strongly, some of the specific figures and metaphors that Khapaeva employs in her scholarly text are those of a post-Soviet discourse that is grounded in literature. Her related and often repeated metaphors of a “black hole” (58), a “crater in time” (91), and a “temporal hole” (91) for characterizing Russia’s “undigested histories,” for instance, have important antecedents in imaginative fiction.
