Corrente, Paola
In the literary tradition of ancient Mesopotamia, a distinct poetic genre, known as the “lamentations”,
exists. This corpus of texts explores the theme of human and divine expressions of suffering in response
to dramatic events.
A particularly noteworthy category of lamentations are the city laments, composed in the aftermath of
the fall of the Sumerian cities, which evoke the historical episodes surrounding the collapse of the Third
Dynasty of Ur (late III millennium BCE). These laments, in their both private and public manifestations,
bear a close resemblance to the tenets of polytheistic religion, underpinned by the concept of the universal
order and the reciprocal relationship between deities and human beings.
In this contribution, I shall offer a commentary on a selection of laments, including those that pertain to
the city laments, and a number of poems that are associated with the narrative of the dying gods. This will
serve to illustrate the overarching theme of the emotional distress experienced by the gods. The analysis
of the religious characteristics of the lamentations aims to highlight the bond between this literary genre
and religion, since the lamentations echo the latter’s role in achieving and safeguarding the existential
harmony of men and gods in an ordered universe.

Pellegrino, Rosario
Charles Nodier (1780-1844) is the author of the post-revolutionary generation who embodied the sense
of trauma, pain, and remembrance. In his first novel, Les Proscrits, an anonymous character embodies the
sense of this pain and becomes the first of the characters who, through writing, can express the suffering
of a difficult and painful phase of French history marked by glorious aspects and moments of extreme
suffering and tension. The paper intends to analyse the character, the forerunner of men suffering because
of the political condition, to investigate the expressions of pain and trauma, dwelling, as well, on the
psychological aspects that condition such language. The main thread will be the memory between denial
and sense of experience that becomes suffering and anonymity.

Liguori, Daniela
Inspired by a true story which took place in the 1820s, the play Woyzeck by Georg Büchner gives voice to
the traumatic experience of a soldier guilty of murder. The aim of the essay is to investigate how Woyzeck
is in the play a perpetrator, but also a victim of the power structures in the social context in which he lives
(military life, science, bourgeois morality).
