Resumo: Colonial war has never been given a space of commemoration in the process of the democratic post-imperial reconstruction of Portuguese society. That is why this silence about the war may be described as a constituting element of this process. From various points of view, the disabled war veterans represented the vivid expression of a collective trauma which the democratic social order has wished to forget. The silencing and marginalisation to which the disabled of the Armed Forces have been subjected make them privileged witnesses, by means of their accounts (from 35 interviewees), for the salvation of important historical dimensions necessary for the understanding of contemporary Portugal, and for the recognition of  disability narratives as  testimonies against the violence of oblivion.

Sob vários pontos de vista, os combatentes que adquiriram deficiência na guerra constituíram a expressão viva de um trauma coletivo que a ordem social democrática quis esquecer. Numa perspetiva teórica que procura debater os desencontros da memória pessoal e da memória coletiva, defendemos que o silenciamento e a marginalização dos Deficientes das Forças Armadas (DFA) permite consagrá-los como testemunhas privilegiadas para um diálogo com as sequelas e contradições da guerra. Assim, as histórias de vida dos DFA (35 entrevistados) são convocadas para o presente texto, seja para uma valorização da guerra colonial enquanto um momento histórico que deixou duradouras marcas na sociedade portuguesa, seja para o reconhecimento da deficiência enquanto marca biográfica que confronta a desmemória e a violência do esquecimento.ABEC2013-04-30info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionAvaliado por paresapplication/pdfhttps://periodicos.uff.br/fractal/article/view/4926Fractal: Journal of Psychology; Vol. 25 No. 1 (2013); 3-22Fractal: Revista de Psicologia; v. 25 n. 1 (2013); 3-221984-0292reponame:Fractal : Revista de Psicologiainstname:Universidade Federal Fluminense (UFF)instacron:UFFporhttps://periodicos.uff.br/fractal/article/view/4926/4768Copyright (c) 2018 Fractalinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessMartins, Bruno Sena2018-06-05T12:03:32Zoai:ojs.pkp.sfu.ca:article/4926Revistahttps://periodicos.uff.br/fractalPUBhttps://periodicos.uff.br/fractal/oai||anaclmonteiro@yahoo.com.br|| mlivianascimento@gmail.com1984-02921984-0292opendoar:2018-06-05T12:03:32Fractal : Revista de Psicologia - Universidade Federal Fluminense (UFF)false
