Resumo: This work aims to analyze the testimony If this is a man? by Primo Levi, an Italian Jew who was taken to the Auschwitz concentration camp in Poland in 1944, where he remained for months until the arrival of the red army in January 1945. The analysis of the work shows the different forms of abjection that Levi and other prisoners were subjected to since prison, transport to the concentration camp, until the release of prisoners at the end of the war. In the analysis, the abject could be understood as an unconscious process of the human psyche that can be imposed on another human being as a way to dehumanize it, in addition to also serving as a resistance tool for those who were unable to testify. To address the concept of the abject, we rely on the critical fortune of Judith Butler, Julia Kristeva, Georges Bataille, among others.

A análise da obra mostra as diferentes formas de abjeção que Levi e demais prisioneiros foram submetidos desde a prisão, o transporte para o campo de concentração, até a libertação dos prisioneiros ao final da guerra. Na análise, o abjeto poderia ser compreendido como um processo inconsciente da psique humana que pode ser imposto a outro ser humano como forma de desumanizá-lo, além de também servir como uma ferramenta de resistência para aqueles que não tiveram condições de testemunhar. Para tratar do conceito de abjeto, nos apoiamos na fortuna crítica de Judith Butler, Julia Kristeva, Georges Bataille, entre outros.Universidade Federal de Minas Gerais2022-07-26info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://periodicos.ufmg.br/index.php/maaravi/article/view/3894310.35699/1982-3053.2022.38943Arquivo Maaravi: Revista Digital de Estudos Judaicos da UFMG; v. 16 n. 30 (2022): Primo Levi; 2-221982-3053reponame:Arquivo Maaravi: Revista Digital de Estudos Judaicos da UFMGinstname:Universidade Federal de Minas Gerais (UFMG)instacron:UFMGenghttps://periodicos.ufmg.br/index.php/maaravi/article/view/38943/30941Copyright (c) 2022 Arquivo Maaravi: Revista Digital de Estudos Judaicos da UFMGhttps://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessCarvalho Rocha, Ana LiliaBrito, Gaio Wilson Barbosa2024-03-02T20:54:09Zoai:periodicos.ufmg.br:article/38943Revistahttp://www.periodicos.letras.ufmg.br/index.php/maaravi/indexPUBhttp://www.periodicos.letras.ufmg.br/index.php/maaravi/oai||lyslei@ufmg.br1982-30531982-3053opendoar:2024-03-02T20:54:09Arquivo Maaravi: Revista Digital de Estudos Judaicos da UFMG - Universidade Federal de Minas Gerais (UFMG)false
