Abstract

SANTOS, Marília Amaro da Silveira Modesto. A recent and current story (1768-1922): portraits of a secret. Rev. bras. psicanál [online]. 2016, vol.50, n.4, pp. 77-90. ISSN 0486-641X.

In this paper, the author assumes that transgenerational psychic transmission is constitutive of the individual's psyche. Starting from that premise, the author's purpose is to discuss transgenerational silences, the lack of word, and the legacy between generations. As a result of being silenced either by shame or excessive pain, and for not being able to be transmitted to descendants, that legacy has significant effects across the following generations. This paper is based on a woman's story. That woman belongs to the third generation of immigrants who came to Brazil.

Keywords : transgenerational psychic transmission; culture; catastrophe; foreclosure (French: forclusion); crypt.
