This dissertation, "The Trauma of "Peace": Re-membering Icon, Image and Narrative in El Salvador, 2009-2019" interrogates how memory and trauma show up in the cultural production in three different contextual frames; in state funded public works and iconography, in privately funded art, and finally, in two recent novels by Salvadoran authors. Specifically, I examine the role of memory in postwar El Salvador through the cultural production tied to the Democratic transition from 2009-2019. This thesis makes a number of significant contributions to existing scholarship on the cultural production of postwar El Salvador. The first is that El Salvador's postwar cultural production responds to the trauma of "peace," that is, the silence, impunity and amnesty that were a condition of the Peace Accords. This study draws attention to the fact that El Salvador's "peace" was signed on the condition of amnesties without meaningful accountability for wartime atrocities. I contend that "peace" introduced a second traumatic loss following the original trauma of war. Another important contribution proposed here is that the cultural production is engaged in the process of "working through" trauma. In comparison with existing scholarship that characterizes the postwar cultural production as disenchanted, self-destructive, cynical and evasive, this thesis attributes these to being markers of a generalized social trauma. A common thread running throughout this dissertation is the notion that artists and writers are taking on the work of piecing back the mosaic of collective memory, from the rubble and ashes of silence, impunity and trauma. Instead of re-presenting the past for the sake of reconstructing historical events or to express a cynical and self-destructive attitude, I argue that these artists and writers re-present the past to process the secondary trauma of silence and official forgetting. Through the cultural production, they interrupt silences surrounding the past and make traumatic experiences visible. This assertion rejects readings of the postwar cultural production as inherently cynical and self destructive and suggests that while it may exhibit these characteristics, that these tendencies are not an endpoint in themselves. Instead, they serve as evidentiary benchmarks that the process of working through trauma is underway.
