The subjective trauma

Abstract

The present article seeks to evoke a subjective approach of the trauma that guides itself through the indications of the psychoanalyst Jacques Lacan. It is evoked with Eric Laurent, an “inside out approach” through which we try to take into account what tends to be suppressed from the traumatic scene, namely the subject, as Lacan defines it. To assure it a place, we would have to bet that the cause of pain would not be extinguished in the traumatic event itself, something that the documentary Falcões might help us to see. Following a change made by Freud in his theory when abandoning the “theory of seduction”, along with some of Lacan’s references one tries to demonstrate with some fragments the possibility of clinical work with the traumatized subject through the attempt of the constitution of a singular assemblage that can provide a place for the subject is fate.
