“The Sound of Children Screaming Has Been Removed” Conundrums of Silence and Violence

Starting with the editorial caption in CCTV video, this analysis unpacks some of the practical and conceptual problems in representing violence and trauma. What is the work done by different ways of representing violence? How do we accurately represent the suffering of vulnerable people without vicariously traumatising our audience? How do we avoid accounts that incite further violence? What kinds of explanation are effective in motivating violence prevention and victim empowerment? This exploration works towards a framework for articulating the different types of harm that result from representing, and not representing, traumatic experiences. "I CANNOT THINK OF ALL THE PAINS i cannot think of all the pains in men’s breasts without the urge to sleep, or to lie down, I cannot think without seeing God’s face in the child’s smile, or in the lonely cry in the night and in the sea. i cannot think of all the pains that have come and gone, pains in men’s waists and in men’s shoes – i cannot have relief proper, wearing a neat tie. i run around in circles, like sprinkling water, i can’t have true relief, swearing out loud and counting out the pains in my breast, and in my pants. i cannot think of all the pains and all the years wasted, all the craze of lonely men in village rooms, and all the bodies that lie out cold, in avoided streets- i can’t run out old, like a joyful child and watch a sky pregnant with pain, or with turbulent rain; i cannot think of the soil without lying down, i cannot think of tears, lonely geographies and the third world, without the urge to cry or to sit down." © 2000, Mxolisi Nyezwa From: Song Trials Publisher: University of Natal Press (Gecko Poetry), South Africa In honor of the victims of the Uvalde school shooting: Makenna Lee Elrod, 10 Layla Salazar, 11 Maranda Mathis, 11 Nevaeh Bravo, 10 Jose Manuel Flores Jr., 10 Xavier Lopez, 10 Tess Marie Mata, 10 Rojelio Torres, 10 Eliahna “Ellie” Amyah Garcia, 9 Eliahna A.
