- 요약This dissertation analyzes three primary texts of contemporary queer life writing to argue that they model and enrich foundational elements of narrative therapy as a psychotherapeutic framework. The three facets of narrative therapy explored in detail are contextualization of relational politics, reauthoring identity, and externalizing experience to wider community. Intersections of literature and psychology often rely on a more classically Freudian model of psychoanalysis. Psychoanalytical models typically focus on such Freudian concepts as the unconscious mind, early childhood experiences, transference and the Oedipal complex. This project, however, offers an alternative mode of considering the relationship between narrative, experiential knowledge, and healing that relies on a more integrative psychotherapeutic model. This dissertation fills a gap in current scholarship by focusing on the generative intersection between depathologizing therapeutic frameworks such as narrative therapy and the literature of queer and trans life writers who expand notions of healing, trauma, sexuality and coalitional repair. While scholars in the fields of psychotherapy and literature alike have studied the relationships between authorship, story-telling and integrating traumatic experiences, explicit connections between these fields with regards to frameworks outside of psychoanalysis have fallen short, especially for queer and trans communities.In this project, I demonstrate the ways in which narrative therapy is a uniquely expansive mode of healing for queer and trans communities since it relies on a foundation of deindividuation and locates traumatic experiences against a backdrop of socio-political identity narratives. I evaluate the primary texts in the context of the author's experiences with pathologization, trauma, repair, queerness, race and relational politics. This dissertation contributes to an emerging body of scholarship on the works on identity formation, healing and relationality in contemporary queer life writing, specifically focusing on Carmen Maria Machado's In the Dream House (2019), Akwaeke Emezi's Dear Senthuran (2021) and Audre Lorde's The Cancer Journals (1980). By drawing on scholarship and clinical knowledge from the fields of psychotherapy, literary trauma studies, and gender + sexuality studies to bolster the theoretical foundation of my primary close readings, I hope to create new interdisciplinary avenues for coalitional healing in queer and trans communities.
