Download or read book De la pulsi n de muerte a la represi n de Estado written by David Pavón-Cuéllar and published by Universidad Michoacana de San Nicolás de Hidalgo. This book was released on 2016 with total page 1 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Esta obra colectiva presenta reflexiones críticas sobre los efectos violentos del sistema capitalista en la subjetividad contemporánea. Los autores, académicos de siete países de Asia, África, Europa y América Latina, tienen en común la orientación anticapitalista y su adhesión a tradiciones en las que el marxismo se articula con el psicoanálisis, especialmente con la corriente fundada por Jacques Lacan. En los capítulos se analizan aspectos de la violencia estructural capitalista que se manifiestan en la destrucción del planeta, el hambre y la miseria, la marginación y la explotación, el narcotráfico y otras formas de crimen organizado, la guerra en Siria y las invasiones militares en Irak y Afganistán, el racismo y la xenofobia en Europa, la discriminación de las mujeres y de los pueblos originarios en India, el terrorismo y la supuesta lucha antiterrorista de Estados Unidos, la opresión y la represión política en México, Chile y Brasil. La mirada psicoanalítica y la sensibilidad marxista permiten apreciar en cada caso la manera en que la destrucción del mundo por intereses capitalistas se despliega en una trama histórica y socioeconómica irreductible a la subjetividad. Tomando como base el marxismo y el psicoanálisis, los autores cuestionan formulaciones empiristas, positivistas, individualistas, humanistas, adaptacionistas y construccionistas que en la actualidad inundan la psicología y otras ciencias humanas. Estas formulaciones tienden a psicologizar la violencia, justificarla, relativizarla, banalizarla, despolitizarla, moralizarla, y a responsabilizar a las víctimas o absolver a los responsables.
Download or read book Political Violence and Trauma in Argentina written by Antonius C. G. M. Robben and published by University of Pennsylvania Press. This book was released on 2010-11-24 with total page 481 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For decades, Argentina's population was subject to human rights violations ranging from the merely disruptive to the abominable. Violence pervaded Argentine social and cultural life in the repression of protest crowds, a ruthless counterinsurgency campaign, massive numbers of abductions, instances of torture, and innumerable assassinations. Despite continued repression, thousands of parents searched for their disappeared children, staging street protests that eventually marshaled international support. Challenging the notion that violence simply breeds more violence, Antonius C. G. M. Robben's provocative study argues that in Argentina violence led to trauma, and that trauma bred more violence. In this work of superior scholarship, Robben analyzes the historical dynamic through which Argentina became entangled in a web of violence spun out of repeated traumatization of political adversaries. This violence-trauma-violence cycle culminated in a cultural war that "disappeared" more than ten thousand people and caused millions to live in fear. Political Violence and Trauma in Argentina demonstrates through a groundbreaking multilevel analysis the process by which different historical strands of violence coalesced during the 1970s into an all-out military assault on Argentine society and culture. Combining history and anthropology, this compelling book rests on thorough archival research; participant observation of mass demonstrations, exhumations, and reburials; gripping interviews with military officers, guerrilla commanders, human rights leaders, and former disappeared captives. Robben's penetrating analysis of the trauma of Argentine society is of great importance for our understanding of other societies undergoing similar crimes against humanity.

Download or read book Multidisciplinary Perspectives on Genocide and Memory written by Jutta Lindert and published by Springer. This book was released on 2018-02-12 with total page 326 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book explores the memory and representation of genocide as they affect individuals, communities and families, and artistic representations. It brings together a variety of disciplines from public health to philosophy, anthropology to architecture, offering readers interdisciplinary and international insights into one of the most important challenges in the 21st century. The book begins by describing the definitions and concepts of genocide from historical and philosophical perspectives. Next, it reviews memories of genocide in bodies and in societies as well as genocide in memory through lives, mental health and transgenerational effects. The book also examines the ways genocide has affected artistic works. From poetry to film, photography to theatre, it explores a range of artistic approaches to help demonstrate the heterogeneity of representations. This book provides a comprehensive and wide-ranging assessment of the many ways genocide has been remembered and represented. It presents an ideal foundation for understanding genocide and possibly preventing it from occurring again.
Download or read book Memories and Representations of Terror written by Daniel Feierstein and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2023-10-06 with total page 163 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Memories and Representations of Terror: Working Through Genocide explores how memories and representations shape our understanding of historical events, particularly the ways in which societies create narratives about genocide and its aftermath, using Argentina’s last military dictatorship (1976–1983) and its contested legacy as a case study. Feierstein examines how memories and representations of genocide are the terrain in which both the strategic objectives of genocide and the possibilities of challenging those objectives are contested. These memories and representations provide the foundation upon which critical judgments about the past are constructed and offer the potential for assuming responsibility and working through the consequences of genocide. This book proposes that terror continues to hijack the actions and identities of surviving societies via a process of the construction of memories and social representations of the lived experience in a final stage of genocide Feierstein terms "symbolic enactment". In doing so, Feierstein examines the contributions of various disciplines to comprehending memory processes and social representations. It covers a range of topics, from the nature of memory based on the neuroscientific discoveries of the last half-century to psychoanalytic theories on the functioning of the mind, including the role of psychic defense mechanisms, the unconscious mind, collective pacts of denial and different forms of desensitization. It also explores historiographical debates between forms of history and forms of memory, as well as sociological contributions to the analysis of social frames of memory, cultural memory, generational transmission and related issues. The first volume of a three-volume work that aims to identify and evaluate the various consequences of genocidal social practices and the possibility of healing the scars left on individuals’ subjectivities and the social fabric by genocide. This book is essential reading for students and academics in the humanities and social sciences with an interest in genocide, collective memory and identity.
Download or read book Uprooted Minds written by Nancy Caro Hollander and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2014-04-08 with total page 468 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In our post-9/11 environment, our sense of relative security and stability as privileged subjects living in the heart of Empire has been profoundly shaken. Hollander explores the forces that have brought us to this critical juncture, analyzing the role played by the neoliberal economic paradigm and conservative political agenda that emerged in the West over the past four decades with devastating consequences for the hemisphere's citizens. Narrative testimonies of progressive U.S. and Latin American psychoanalysts illuminate the psychological meanings of living under authoritarian political conditions and show how a psychoanalysis "beyond the couch" contributes to social struggles on behalf of human rights and redistributive justice. By interrogating themes related to the mutual effects of social power and ideology, large group dynamics and unconscious fantasies, affects and defenses, Hollander encourages reflections about our experience as social/psychological subjects.
Download or read book The Struggle for the Past written by Elizabeth Jelin and published by Berghahn Books. This book was released on 2021-03-03 with total page 236 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In all societies—but especially those that have endured political violence—the past is a shifting and contested terrain, never fixed and always intertwined with present-day cultural and political circumstances. Organized around the Argentine experience since the 1970s within the broader context of the Southern Cone and international developments, The Struggle for the Past undertakes an innovative exploration of memory’s dynamic social character. In addition to its analysis of how human rights movements have inflected public memory and democratization, it gives an illuminating account of the emergence and development of Memory Studies as a field of inquiry, lucidly recounting the author’s own intellectual and personal journey during these decades.
Download or read book The Experience of Time written by Jorge Canestri and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2018-03-21 with total page 253 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In contemporary psychoanalysis, the concepts of time and history have become increasingly complex. It is evident that this trend offers us an opportunity to think about the intercrossing of the different temporal dimensions imbuing the subject, an inevitable aspect of the analytic process. History is time past but what is recovered is now the working through of the subject history, which carries the mark of both passing time and re-signifying time. It is precisely the notion of history that gains different dimensions when a purely deterministic analysis is disassembled. Continuities and breaks are found between subjective time and chronological time; between the inevitable decrepitude of the biological body with the passing of time and the timelessness of the unconscious; between linear, circular times and retroactive re-signification; between facts, screen memories, memory and the work of constructing history; between the times of repetition and the times of difference; between reversible and irreversible time; between the timelessness of the unconscious and the temporalities of the ego.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Both melancholia and mourning are triggered by the same thing, that is, by loss. The distinction often made is that mourning occurs after the death of a loved one while in melancholia the object of love does not qualify as irretrievably lost.
Download or read book Violencia y radicalizaci n written by Marisa Morao and published by Grama ediciones. This book was released on 2023-06-16 with total page 131 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "En la época y en su lógica del 'empuje a gozar', podemos proponer como hipótesis, que la violencia es la puesta en acto de la pulsión de muerte desprendida del orden simbólico (...) En este aspecto, la violencia implica el acto de dañar, arruinar el cuerpo del otro o el propio –o porque el cuerpo propio se manifiesta como un 'enemigo extraño' o porque el cuerpo propio se ofrece como objeto de sacrificio–. Es el sacrificio a los dioses oscuros: el Rey Molosh (...). Este libro es una apuesta a poner de relieve conceptos y términos del psicoanálisis que constituyan diferentes herramientas éticas para leer la civilización contemporánea, que bajo diversos modos se hace presente en nuestra experiencia. Pulsión de muerte, empuje a gozar, goce del otro, goce femenino, acontecimiento traumático, pasaje al acto, imperativo de goce, masoquismo, sadismo, amor, odio, odioenamoramiento, extimidad, kakón, objeto patológico, maldad, sacrificio, estrago, real sin ley, etc. (...) Es preciso orientarse por una ética que no niegue la pulsión de muerte, ni que decaiga por la impotencia de la aceptación del destino trágico. Es la política del síntoma a la que podemos llamar 'ética de lo real sin ley'". Escriben: Éric Laurent, Miquel Bassols, Osvaldo Quiroga, Clara M. Holguin, Marisa Morao, Alejandra Glaze, Jorge Assef, Marcelo Barros y Heloisa Caldas.

Download or read book A Lexicon of Terror written by Marguerite Feitlowitz and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 1999-10-07 with total page 320 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "We were all out in la charca, and there they were, coming over the ridge, a battalion ready for war, against a schoolhut full of children." Tanks roaring over farmlands, pregnant mothers tortured, their babies stolen and sold on the black market, homes raided in the dead of night, ordinary citizens kidnapped and never seen again--such were the horrors of Argentina's Dirty War. Now, in A Lexicon of Terror, Marguerite Feitlowitz fully exposes the nightmare of sadism, paranoia, and deception the military dictatorship unleashed on the Argentine people, a nightmare that would claim over 30,000 civilians from 1976 to 1983 and whose leaders were recently issued warrants by a Spanish court for the crime of genocide. Feitlowitz explores the perversion of language under state terrorism, both as it's used to conceal and confuse ("The Parliament must be disbanded to rejuvenate democracy") and to domesticate torture and murder. Thus, citizens kidnapped and held in secret concentration camps were "disappeared"; torture was referred to as "intensive therapy"; prisoners thrown alive from airplanes over the ocean were called "fish food." Based on six years of research and moving interviews with peasants, intellectuals, activists, and bystanders, A Lexicon of Terror examines the full impact of this catastrophic period from its inception to the present, in which former torturers, having been pardoned and released from prison, live side by side with those they tortured. Passionately written and impossible to put down, Feitlowitz shows us both the horror of the war and the heroism of those who resisted and survived--their courage, their endurance, their eloquent refusal to be dehumanized in the face of torments even Dante could not have imagined.
