타비쉬 카이르의 소설 􋺷종교 암살단원에 관한 것􋺸(2010)과 􋺷행복의 밤􋺸 (2018)은 포스트식민주의적 맥락 속에서 심리적 트라우마, 문화적 이탈, 그리고 정체 성 추구 사이의 복잡한 관계를 탐구한다. 카이르는 등장인물 아미르 알리와 아흐메드 를 통해 사회적 편견, 인종적 고정관념, 그리고 역사적·개인적 폭력의 지속적인 결과 로부터 비롯되는 자아의 분열을 조명한다. 􋺷종교 암살단원에 관한 것􋺸에서는 아미르 알리가 타기 정체성을 수용하며, 􋺷행복의 밤􋺸에서는 아흐메드가 아내 로쉬니를 잃은 깊은 슬픔을 겪는다. 카이르는 적대적이고 편향된 환경 속에서 분열된 정체성과 싸우 는 개인이 겪는 어려움을 효과적으로 그려낸다. 반복, 상호텍스트성, 파편화된 기억과 같은 서사 기법을 활용함으로써, 그는 트라우마의 복합성과 그것이 자아 형성에 미치 는 깊은 영향을 강조한다. 이 분석은 개인의 고통과 정체성, 소속감, 문화적 소외라는 더 넓은 사회적 역학 사이의 불가분한 연관성을 조명함으로써 포스트식민주의 트라우 마 연구 분야를 더욱 풍부하게 만든다.

2017, Red Candle Games released a game called ‘Detention’ in the global gaming platform, ranking number three in sales in just one month. In the game lies a fictional story about members of a school book club who were framed in the 60's under the Martial Law. It based on the historical event called the White Terror throughout the 50’s to the 80’s. White Terror had been a taboo in Taiwan for years, making the investigation of the event, damage, and accountability for a prolonged period of time. Since the termination of the Martial Law in 1987, the restoration of the forbidden history was commenced. Especially since 2016, Transitional Justice has become the core government policy, allowing the creation and execution of many policies in multiple aspects, such as fact-finding, restoration of records, rewriting history, compensation, and redemption of honor. Moreover, since the termination of the Martial Law, literature and personal biography based on the White Terror were created in the private sector. Nevertheless, it did not attract the attention of the general public. However, the release of ‘Detention’ has brought signs of change. ‘Detention’ grabbed the attention of teenagers who were distant with the history that happened 70 years ago. From the beginning of the release of the game, it has stirred up the internet and social media. In 2019, the game was made into a movie ‘Detention’. In addition, in December of 2020, ‘Detention’ made into a eight-series show. This is expected to create a collective memory of the White Terror in Taiwan. This study aims to find out how the White Terror in Taiwan is shown in various forms of narratives, using related concepts such as Assmann’s ‘Collective Memory’ and ‘Traumatic History’. Also, this study analyzes the new form of White Terror narrative of ‘Detention’ series.
