Abstract

LECONTE, Mariana. War, madness and History. Historiography faced with social bond paths and its dislocation. Folia [online]. 2016, n.25, pp.91-100. ISSN 0325-8238.

The article connects war -described in its logic from levinasian concepts- with the psychoanalytical notion of "trauma" and asks, from that point on, for its consequences on the social bond destruction. In this theoretical context, it examines Historiography, setting its writing intention in analogy with the letters' branding in real-traumatic borders. This work examines the concepts of war, new rationality and subjectivity sketched by Levinas in the preface of his major work Totality and Infinity, opposing its articulation to the Hegelian logic. Furthermore, it builds the relation between war, trauma and social bond dislocation from classical psychoanalytical texts by Freud and Lacan, and others that specifically deals with this relation, as is the case of Jean-Max Gaudillière and Françoise Davoine's History and Trauma.

Keywords : War; trauma; writing; Historiography.
