In light of recent developments of trauma studies, this essay delves into some significant connections between trauma narrative and metafictional experiment in Doris Lessing's The Golden Notebook. My focus will be on conjoined literary and sexual dimensions of the novel's trauma narrative. Anna's mental state of paralysis explicitly bears on her failed sexual relations and the demise of communism as a viable political belief system, along with the imminent threat of nuclear war. More subtly, it demonstrates the tendency, as Dominick LaCapra has noted, to conflate the absence and the loss of an object or state, as well as the structural and the historical trauma. This essay suggests how the novel taps on trauma's unique role in linking private realms of emotional life, sexuality, personal relations with realities of contemporary history. Trauma in that way creates a differential mode of knowing by achieving a certain totality from the connections between past and present, on one side, and integrating apparently disparate realms of identity and existence, on the other. Lessing posits the acting-out of trauma throughout the four notebooks, embodying the process of working-through in the inner golden notebook. Further, metafictional experiments in the novel allow her to explore the trans-individual, trans-subjective experience of trauma in her contemporary world that verges on what Raymond Williams terms as the structure of feeling.
Abstract
In light of recent developments of trauma studies, this essay delves into some significant connections between trauma narrative and metafictional experiment in Doris Lessing's The Golden Notebook. My focus will be on conjoined literary and sexual dimensions of the novel's trauma narrative. Anna's mental state of paralysis explicitly bears on her failed sexual relations and the demise of communism as a viable political belief system, along with the imminent threat of nuclear war. More subtly, it demonstrates the tendency, as Dominick LaCapra has noted, to conflate the absence and the loss of an object or state, as well as the structural and the historical trauma. This essay suggests how the novel taps on trauma's unique role in linking private realms of emotional life, sexuality, personal relations with realities of contemporary history. Trauma in that way creates a differential mode of knowing by achieving a certain totality from the connections between past and present, on one side, and integrating apparently disparate realms of identity and existence, on the other. Lessing posits the acting-out of trauma throughout the four notebooks, embodying the process of working-through in the inner golden notebook. Further, metafictional experiments in the novel allow her to explore the trans-individual, trans-subjective experience of trauma in her contemporary world that verges on what Raymond Williams terms as the structure of feeling.
