Репрезентация травматических событий афроамериканской истории в текстовом пространстве культуры США

Abstract

The urgency of this phe-nomenon is attributed by the authors of the article, first of all, to the disappearance of living memory of the generations of witnesses of the most terrible crimes in the history of mankind, and to the processes of mediatization of memory and devel-opment of information technologies. The article deals with the methods of modeling of traumatic events related to Afro-American slavery and racial terror, in the US culture. The authors analyze examples of metonymic reconstruction and meta-phorical coding of the past, symbolic imagery forms of translating memory to other generations, aimed at collective empathy and recognition of extreme violence.

В статье рассматриваются способы символического моделирования травматических исторических событий, связанных с расовым бесправием, в культуре США.
