Abstract

ENDO, Paulo. Sharing, testimonial and contemporary forms of excessiveness. Ide (São Paulo) [online]. 2008, vol.31, n.47, pp. 70-74. ISSN 0101-3106.

This article discusses testimonials as a way to oppose catastrophes. It examines the written and oral testimonial productions as extreme expressions of language. The author analyzes the representability of the testimonial according to representation. Yet, in the same way, and with several written and oral productions, it highlights psychoanalytic work as a privileged space for testimonial productions: the testimonial of the unconscious, of the tragic, and the traumatic.

Keywords : Catastrophe; Representation; Testimonial; Trauma; Violence.
