ALTOUNIAN, Janine  y  BERLINER, Claudia. Reviving a trace and making a voice heard requires several generations. Rev. bras. psicanál [online]. 2012, vol.46, n.3, pp.106-120. ISSN 0486-641X.

The article illustrates, by way of a personal example, that reviving a trace and making a voice heard is an elaboration subject to time - psychic time, genealogical time, historical time of sociopolitical occurrences - time which spreads beyond the limits of an individual life. It exposes the different steps through which the testimony of deportation of Vahram Altounian, a survivor of the Armenian genocide, had to undergo until its publication as a facsimile in a university edition, in the heart of a group of elaborations. Of these, the testimony was reference for seven benefitted elements: his translator, his daughter and five psychoanalysts attentive to the traumas of History.

Palabras clave : transmission; traumatic heritage; traces; latency time; Armenian genocide; testimony; political conditions of the sheltering country.
