About
In her PhD work, Linda Sandbæk explores how traumatic experiences are portrayed in fiction, archives and psychoanalysis and how different texts can enrich the understanding of the impact of trauma on the individual and society. She is concerned with finding language for trauma that moves beyond diagnosis, victim and expert narratives. Among the articles included in the project are On witnessing systematic violence and impunity – Martha Soto Gallo's archive for her missing brother and Sara Uribe's Antígona González. Supervisors for the project are Kjell Ivar Skjerdingstad at OsloMet and Siri Erika Gullestad at the University of Oslo.
Linda Sandbæk also writes fiction. She has published the novel The Therapist's Christmas - on the limits of love and knowledge (in Norwegian at the publishing house Cappelen Damm), and short stories for children and adults.
