000162090 5203_ $$aTh e controverted responses to James Cameron’s Avatar (2009), as well as its use to support a variety of political and ideological agendas, seem to imply that there is something in this fi lm for almost everyone. An analysis from the perspective of trauma studies suggests that the key to its impact may lie in the way the movie refl ects the fundamental fear of human alienation from nature, which is part of the wounded condition of our contemporary culture. Th is article embarks on a study of the representation of and working through of trauma in the movie, both based on the reiteration of stereotypes and the recreation of ecotopia. It also refl ects on the implications of the phenomenon known as the Pandora Eff ect, or the reported feelings of depression at discovering the impossibility of real immersion aft er watching the movie. It ends with a problematizing of the uncritical application of the trauma paradigm and a revision of the model into a culturally sensitive trauma theory that avoids neo-colonial appropriation and takes into account the historical unresolved grief of colonized peoples.
