| dc.description.abstract | The study in Alicia Partnoy’sThe Little Schooltries to focus on war and it’s aftereffects on the Argentinean people. She tells the stories of the people that she met and saw through her tiny hole in her blindfold while she was in the clandestine detention center ironically named the Little School. This novel has been read on the basis of trauma theory. The novelThe Little Schoolby Partnoy, depicts some of the accounts of the innocent people that were imprisoned and tortured during the dirty war period in Argentinean history. The study finds views and ideas of traumatic experience in the novel covering the ideas of freedom, human rights, to fight against the military oppression, to acquire freedom and search for humanity. In writing this novel Partnoy has brought out the military brutality and inhuman act in the concentration camp. Trauma is the memory of past and it’s aftereffects which connect withhuman psychology.The Little Schoolis a story of resistance which ultimately leads those characters towards psychological pain. Through the critical analysis of Partnoy’s narration of war experience, this research aims to explore the psyche of the peopleat the time of the war. | en_US |
