Iro Filippaki
I recently completed a post-doctoral fellowship at the Center for Medical Humanities and Social Medicine at Johns Hopkins University, where I researched trauma and narrative expression, and designed training projects for medical students and physicians, centering on the ways that medicine constructs identity, culture, and subjectivity.
My research centers on aspects of feeling in cultural and textual narratives, as well as representations of physical and mental trauma. I am the co-editor of a special issue of the Journal of Trauma and Dissociation titled "Trauma, Narratives, Institutions: Transdisciplinary Dialogues" and the founder and co-editor of Tendon, a medical humanities creative magazine.
I just completed my first monograph titled The Poetics of Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder in Postmodern Literature (Palgrave Macmillan, forthcoming) and am currently exploring representations of feeling resilient in contemporary war literature. As a side-project, I am also working on a brief history of feeling impatient in contemporary culture.

Hearts and Super Trench Attack and the ways through which they memorialize the Great War. By close-reading the narrative techniques of
these games, I argue that through their storytelling elements they memorialize the Great War by countering the narrative trope of the adynaton, often employed to manage the traumatic articulation of war narratives. Bathetic, pathetic, and chronotopic representations contribute to the affective economy on which these video games rely to memorialize the war, and hint at what posthumanist memorialization could mean for the remembrance of Great War.
