Victims’ Symptom (PTSD and Culture) - curated by Ana Peraica - attempts to move forward the notion of PTSD from psycho-traumatic diagnosis to a symptomatic term in media studies. The project will analyse the meaning of a victim who has survived a traumatic event, becoming both a witness and a suffering subject. PTSD is institutionalised at an economic, social and political level, contrary to the merely enumerated victims who have only a legal and a cultural role.
Commissioned as a special initiative to mark LabforCulture’s one-year anniversary, the project, accompanied by critical texts, documentation and reflections by the curator and a number of other participants throughout the project, will go live on the site in early 2008.
