HOMERCHER, Bibiana Massem  and  IENSEN, Silvio Augusto Lopes. From traumatic to creative living: narratives about psychoanalysis and Primo Levi. Cad. psicanal. [online]. 2020, vol.42, n.42, pp. 13-36. ISSN 1413-6295.

The article contemplates the investigation of the traumatic in witness narratives of Primo Levi's work, The Drowned and the Saved. The research is characterized by being of documentary bibliographic nature with psychoanalytical interpretation. The results point to a deep relationship between traumatic psychoanalysis and Levi's work, observed in the literature of testimony, memory, body and creativity. It is concluded that psychoanalysis has much to contribute to the theme of trauma and testimonial literature, through its perspective on what is traumatic in which is found a lacunar dimension and impossibility, which testimony writing seeks to symbolize.

Keywords : Psychoanalysis; Traumatic; Primo Levi; Literature of Testimony.
