Memori dan Rekonsiliasi Trauma dalam Cerpen Siapa Namamu, Sandra? Karya Norman Erikson Pasaribu

A study on the short story 'What's Your Name, Sandra?' by Norman Erikson Pasaribu reveals that Mama Sandra experiences traumatic memory due to two significant events: the betrayal of her son Bison's identity as gay and his subsequent suicide. These events trigger symptoms such as flashbacks, withdrawal, denial, guilt, and nightmares, leading to an urge for reconciliation through a 'healing journey' to Mỹ Sơn in Vietnam. The research applies theories by Cathy Caruth and Dominic LaCapra to analyze trauma and its resolution, highlighting the psychological impact of societal rejection and the process of working through trauma.
