Resumo: The text proposes a reflection about some of the main issues concerning the gesture of testimony, highlighting the aporias that mark the act of witnessing. Departing from the idea that testimony only exists under the sign of its collapse and impossibility, the essay stresses the dilemmas raised from the convergence between the individual task of the trauma storytelling and its collective component. In the historical catastrophes, as in the cases of genocide or mass violent persecution of particular segments of the population, traumatic memory is always a search for a compromise between the work of individual memory and another, more collective work. Testimony is analyzed as a part of a complex “politics of memory”.

Partindo da idéia de que o testemunho de certo modo só existe sob o signo de seu colapso e de sua impossibilidade, o texto enfatiza os dilemas nascidos da confluência entre a tarefa individual da narrativa do trauma e de sua componente coletiva. Nas “catástrofes históricas”, como nos genocídios ou nas perseguições violentas em massa de determinadas parcelas da população, a memória do trauma é sempre uma busca de compromisso entre o trabalho de memória individual e outro construído pela sociedade. O testemunho é analisado como parte de uma complexa “política da memória”.Universidade Federal Fluminense2008-06-30info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionAvaliado pelos paresapplication/pdfhttps://periodicos.uff.br/gragoata/article/view/33162Gragoatá; Vol. 13 No. 24 (2008): Brazil and Africa: trajectories, faces and destinationGragoatá; v. 13 n. 24 (2008): Brasil e África: trajetórias, rostos e destino2358-41141413-9073reponame:Gragoatáinstname:Universidade Federal Fluminense (UFF)instacron:UFFporhttps://periodicos.uff.br/gragoata/article/view/33162/19149Copyright (c) 2019 Gragoatáinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessSeligmann-Silva, Márcio2020-08-18T23:34:22Zoai:ojs.pkp.sfu.ca:article/33162Revistahttps://periodicos.uff.br/gragoataPUBhttps://periodicos.uff.br/gragoata/oai||revistagragoata@gmail.com2358-41141413-9073opendoar:2020-08-18T23:34:22Gragoatá - Universidade Federal Fluminense (UFF)false
