520    This book examines the womb, an invisible and mysterious 
       space invested with allegorical significance, as a 
       metaphorical space in postwar cinematic and literary texts
       grappling with the trauma of post-holocaust, postmodern 
       existence. In addition, it examines the representation of 
       visible spaces in the texts in terms of their attribution 
       with womb-like qualities.  The framing of the study 
       historically within the postwar era begins with a 
       discussion of Eero Saarinen's Womb Chair in the context of
       the Cold War's need for safety in light of the threat of 
       nuclear destruction, and ranges over films such as 
       Marguerite Duras' and Alan Resnais' film Hiroshima mon 
       amour and Duras' novel The Vice-Consul, exploring the ways
       that such cultural texts fantasize the womb as a response 
       to trauma, defined as the compulsive need to return to the
       site of loss, a place envisioned as both a secure space 
       and a prison. The womb fantasy is linked to the desire to 
       recreate an identity that is new and original but 
       ahistorical.
