Abstract

- This chapter uses the concepts of trauma and nostalgia to analyze theportrayal of PTSD in homecoming films. Nostalgia, integral to the study ofbattle’s psychological effects, has evolved in cultural studies to scrutinizepower dynamics in depictions of “home.” This chapter scrutinizes howfilms depict the relationship between trauma and home. Drawing fromSvetlana Boym’s distinction between restorative and reflective nostalgia,the former emphasizes national continuity, while the latter acknowledgesgaps and inconsistencies in the concept of “home.” The chapter contendsthat reflective nostalgia provides a more realistic representation of peoplewith PTSD and offers a more promising portrayal of their path toward“redemption,” wherein veterans navigate their enduring wounds.
