This chapter analyses the economic cultural paradigm within the context of PTSD, drawing on anthropologist George Bataille, among others. Through this we further develop the meaning and understanding of the relationship between screen media, memory, PTSD and trauma, and time. Film case studies are utilised to illustrate how what Bataille termed the accursed share cojoins with PTSD’s notion of continually returning to the wound. Plus, Badiou’s work on ethics is utilised in the context of time and PTSD. This chapter examines films that analyse PTSD, memory, and trauma and we find this is often achieved through their exploration of wound culture, married with its relationship with the politics of time and memory. Segmented under the larger heading of Economics following the section on Identity, the trilogy here includes Wound Culture; Family and Tribe; and The General Theory of Economy.
