Abstract：Contemporary trauma studies, which emerged in western humanities in the 1990s, transferred the concept of trauma from the field of personal pathology to the field of history and culture, emphasizing the devastating effect of trauma on the production capacity of individual and collective meaning. Trauma studies and memory studies tend to converge, but they are indeed different research paradigms. Contemporary trauma studies are the result of the spread of trauma discourse from clinical research to humanistic research, as well as the internal crisis and “ethic shift”of western literary theory. In terms of concept, topics and methods, contemporary trauma studies include post-deconstruction trauma studies, critical trauma studies and pluralistic trauma studies. Post-deconstruction trauma studies define trauma from the perspective of dissociation, borrow the methods of intensive text reading and rhetorical analysis from deconstruction critics, and focus on transmission and representation of trauma. Critical trauma studies define trauma from the perspective of social impact, attempt to apply relevant concepts in psychoanalysis and other theories to social and cultural analysis, and focus on healing or grief of historical trauma. Pluralistic trauma studies emerging in the 21st century expand the concept of trauma from various perspectives, mostly using the methods of cultural research, focusing on the interaction between trauma and media, identity, ideology and other factors. Since the 1990s, trauma research has become increasingly popular. Despite problems, the concept of trauma and trauma research are still of great significance and value.
