This workshop proposes communal writing as a public humanities and social sciences anti-methodology to study and transform the economies and politics emerging from trauma, war, and sexual/gender violence. In particular, this workshop will concentrate on the study and the making of stories about the medical definitions of trauma in relation to war and sexual/gender violence; the global political economies that allowed their emergence, their contours, and their popularity; and the consequences of this threefold linkage for transnational violence and activisms. Communal writing is a form of writing made among a group of people sharing the same politics concerning a social justice project, such as transforming social and personal trauma related to war and sexual/gendered violence in universities, and based on six (Post)/(De)Colonial/Black Trans/Queer/Feminist principles: compassion, intersectionality, oppositional thinking, plurality, rest, and transnational solidarities/politics. Through different writing exercises, this workshop seeks to cultivate a language of care by and for survivors of trauma, war, and sexual/gender violence, to engender a practice of listening to people’s different, and sometimes competing and contradictory, needs about the same social justice project, and to be attentive to which responses to trauma, war, and sexual/gender violence might be inadequate to meet the needs of people given their locations across axes of oppression. Overall, this workshop will be successful if, in the end, participants can start narrating what their social justice projects about trauma, war, and sexual/gender violence were in the context of their universities, how their projects related to larger social justice struggles around the world, and how they will act and struggle to achieve their aims of social transformation.
