Abstract Raya Morag in her book, Waltzing with Bashir: Perpetrator Trauma and Cinema, shifts the focus away from that of cinema and trauma to that of cinema and perpetrator trauma, through the analysis of Israeli films. Her focus is clearly on the perpetrator, and his/her confession, and his/her resultant trauma. Using Morag's work, as well as that of other renowned trauma scholars, such as Dominick LaCapra, Cathy Caruth, and Saira Mohamed, this article analyses the South African film Forgiveness, and the central protagonist: “Tertius Coetzee.” Coetzee is a former apartheid policeman who tortured and murdered a young anti-apartheid activist, “Daniel Grootboom.” He suffers from perpetrator trauma. This article situates perpetrator trauma within the larger, more established field of memory and trauma studies. Thereafter, the theory of perpetrator trauma is further explicated. This is followed by a hermeneutical, textual analysis of the film, Forgiveness.

肇事者创伤在宽恕中的表现

摘要 Raya Morag 在她的著作《与巴希尔的华尔兹：肇事者创伤和电影》中，通过对以色列电影的分析，将焦点从电影和创伤转移到电影和肇事者创伤。她的注意力显然集中在肇事者、他/她的供词以及他/她由此造成的创伤上。本文利用莫拉格的著作，以及多米尼克·拉卡普拉、凯茜·卡鲁斯和塞拉·穆罕默德等其他著名创伤学者的著作，分析了南非电影《宽恕》和中心主角：“特蒂乌斯·库切”。库切是一名前种族隔离警察，他折磨并谋杀了一位年轻的反种族隔离活动家“丹尼尔·格鲁特布姆”。他遭受了肇事者的创伤。本文将肇事者创伤置于更大、更成熟的记忆和创伤研究领域中。此后，进一步解释了肇事者创伤理论。接着是对电影《宽恕》的诠释学和文本分析。
