The field of cultural trauma has reached the status of a research paradigm. Ron Eyerman has played a central role in this development. Since he first embarked on research into cultural trauma with several colleagues in 1999, Eyerman has maintained an intensive preoccupation with the topic, resulting in the publication of numerous books and essays. In this article, I review the development of Eyerman’s approach to cultural trauma, with the broader aim of shedding light on this new research paradigm. I focus on several key themes in Eyerman’s work, including the relationship between event and representation; the significance of affect and emotion; the role of collective memory; the adoption of a dramaturgical perspective; and a multidimensional research methodology. To conclude, I discuss potential new directions in the study of cultural trauma.

文化创伤：罗恩·艾尔曼和新研究范式的建立

文化创伤领域已达到研究范式的地位。罗恩·艾尔曼在这一发展过程中发挥了核心作用。自从 1999 年与几位同事首次开始研究文化创伤以来，艾尔曼一直专注于这个话题，出版了大量书籍和论文。在本文中，我回顾了艾尔曼处理文化创伤的方法的发展，其更广泛的目标是阐明这种新的研究范式。我专注于艾尔曼作品中的几个关键主题，包括事件与表现之间的关系；情感和情感的重要性；集体记忆的作用；采用戏剧化的视角；和多维度的研究方法。最后，我讨论了文化创伤研究中潜在的新方向。
