Testemunhos desde a ferida

A escrita fragmentária e a criação de uma palavra aberta

Abstract

This article derives from the doctoral thesis Testimonies from the wound, carried out at the Center for Subjectivity Studies at PUC-SP, and explores the issues of testimony, through the fissures in the researcher's own flesh, resulting from sexual abuse experienced during childhood. Testimony, assumed as a clue to the cartographic method, consists of a way of saying and an art of telling from an unusual place: the wound. It is from the perspective of the wound that research is carried out. Based on this, this research seeks to go beyond the victim and aggressor dichotomy. Without attributing violence exclusively to a subject, it is a question of thinking about abusive practices beyond and below the subjects, carried out in and by the social field. Thus, fragmentary writing, partial and open, becomes an ethics and operates as a device for the creation of a minor language, capable of producing other sensitive modes beyond violence.
