| Literary Trauma: Relevance, History and Healing |
| By Corrie L. Snow |
| |
| Abstract: |
| In seeking to cope with traumatic events, literature
is often used as a form of healing for writers and a vessel
of human emotion for readers. Poetry is often a viable option
for conveying to others the pain, struggle, hope, and strength
associated with a traumatic history. This paper explains how
the Irish Potato Famine and the Holocaust have been portrayed
through literature. |

| EU/Japanese Relations |
| By Will Sherman |
| |
| Abstract: |
| When international relations between the world’s
economic superpowers are mentioned, the first political/economic
bonds that come to ones head usually involve the U.S. The
world influence that comes from ties between Japan and Europe
have been considered relatively weak compared to those between
Japan and the U.S. or the U.S. and Europe, but the policy
initiatives arising from a joint declaration are helping to
improve the balance of relations between these three partners. |
