The objective of this article is to analyze how the experiences of girls, boys, and adolescents in the context of the Colombian war have been received and incorporated into the institutional work of memory construction. The analysis is based on a review of reports produced by the Historical Memory Group of the National Commission for Reparation and Reconciliation and the National Center for Historical Memory. The article begins by highlighting the inadequacy of articulated language in capturing the childhood and youth experiences of violence. It then examines how the testimonies of children and adolescents have been included in institutional memory reports to determine the validity attributed to the knowledge these testimonies can provide. Finally, the article concludes that the experiences of suffering in childhood and adolescence are not adequately addressed in institutional memory work, and there is a form of epistemic injustice that diminishes the importance and centrality of these testimonies as sources of knowledge about recent Colombian violence.

Les problématiques des conditions de fins de vie, notamment en EHPAD, sont actuellement au cœur d'un débat sociétal, juridique, politique et soignants. Ces questions mettent en tension des concepts de dignité, de temporalité entre le long mourir en gériatrique, vécu comme une agonie sociétale insupportable, et le vouloir vivre des malades d'Alzheimer. Or la fin de la vie engage des valeurs éthiques de sollicitude, d'écoute et de savoir être auprès de nos patients très âgés et polypathologiques qui vont mourir. Nous interrogerons les notions de souffrances psychiques, de vouloir mourir, de glissement vers la mort, de long mourir à partir d'un corpus de paroles de patients et de soignants au cœur d'une éthique qui passe de la sidération à la considération. The issues of end-of-life conditions, particularly in nursing homes, are currently at the heart of a societal, legal, political and caregiver debate. These questions highlight the concepts of dignity, of temporality between the lengthy period of dying in geriatric care, which is experienced as an unbearable societal agony, and the will to live of Alzheimer's patients. However, dealing with the end of life, we are necessarily committed to the ethical values of solicitude, listening and knowing how to comfort our very old and polypathological patients who are nearing death. In this study, we will examine the notions of psychic suffering, of the wish to die, of sliding towards death, and the long dying process based on a corpus of patient and caregiver testimonials which are at the heart of a moral code that transitions from stupefaction to consideration.

Felix Salten's travel book Neue Menschen auf alter Erde, published in 1925, depicts the author's journey to Mandatory Palestine. Against the historical background of the Zionist immigration of Jews to the land of Israel, Salten's travel book both describes the ongoing transformation of the country while also triggering an autobiographical reflection on his own Jewish identity. In this contribution, Salten's hybrid travel narrative is considered as an ideal genre to study the intricate nexus between writing, testimony, memory and travel. The following analysis contextualizes Salten's position toward Zionism and investigates his depiction of Palestine as an intertextual memory landscape. In particular, this contribution asks how Salten's narrative depicts the travel experience as an affective constellation that engages various sensorial modes of the traveling subject.

This article proposes methodological avenues for the analysis of testimonies from an intermedial approach. It focuses more particularly on a case study, that of a documentary film directed by Emil Weiss which relates the testimonies of the men of the Sonderkommando of Auschwitz. The article suggests two main orientations, one that examines the mediation of the witness's experience, and the other that is interested in the transmission of the testimony, in this case through the technical gestures of cinema. As an act of transmission, Weiss's film acts as a relay for the voices, the writing and the photographic archives of the men of the Sonderkommando. While filming at the scene of the extermination, Weiss seeks to capture the darkness of an inner world, the world of which the authors of the scrolls of Auschwitz were the bearers.

Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is a psychopathological disorder that affects emotional regulation, cognition, and behavior. Moreover, deregulation in different memory processes has been related to a persistent PTSD prognosis. In a way, the traumatic memory presents itself as timeless, since it functions as a rigid frame that keeps the personal history locked in the past, at the time of the traumatic event. Thus, this essay reflects on the memory processes involved in PTSD, and the place of testimony in the process of reframing the traumatic experience, for it is through the stories we tell ourselves and others about who we are that we can build an autobiographical history and a sense of personal reality.

Undercover police operations have long been recognized as legally and ethically problematic, leading to court appeals and discourse about the appropriate uses of deception and manipulation by the state. The issue was debated as early as 1886, when a jury acquitted a defendant because the evidence was gathered using deceptive methods. In Sarnia, Ontario, a tavern owner named Charles Hand was accused of orchestrating the bombing of temperance leaders' homes. The Crown's case was based on the testimony of an undercover detective who had befriended Hand and his family. With the support of the trial judge, the defense discredited the testimony on the basis that detectives were thought to be disreputable people, a fact confirmed by their surreptitious investigations under the Canada Temperance Act. At issue was the question of how anyone could accept the testimony of a detective who had used lies and deception against reputable people. While, ostensibly, the Hand case was a victory of the "wets" over the "drys," it was also a conflict over police modernization. In this case study, I argue that the employment of this novel investigative tactic challenged traditional, anti-modern, views about the appropriate limits of police behaviour, deception, and state authority.

The study starts from the notion of "beautiful animal" to think about the compositional paradigms of contemporary drama, in the wake of Jacques Rancière and Jean-Pierre Sarrazac's reflections. In this critical path, the anatomical image of the theatrical fable, still present in modern theorists such as Hegel and Peter Szondi, is shifted to a teratological metaphor that proposes the mythos as reminiscence and political and intimate testimony of the fictional subject. The syntagmatic logic of action, the drama-in-life, is reassembled in an inorganic and regressive reason for the sequence of acts, consubstantiating an aesthetic treatment that, like Passion and Process, characterizes what we call postcatastrophe dramaturgy.

L'espace de compréhension concernant les traumatismes psychiques s'est considérablement densifié au cours des quinze dernières années jusqu'à entraîner une véritable révolution conceptuelle aux confins de notions psychiatriques, psychologiques, neurobiologiques, sociologiques, anthropologiques, etc. Toutefois, malgré tous ces enrichissements, notamment des descriptions séméiologiques dans les mondes anglophones et francophones contemporains, le sous-diagnostic et les diagnostics tardifs des troubles post-traumatiques (TSPT), au stade des souffrances intenses, restent nombreux. Soit parce que les origines traumatiques des troubles demeurent tues, du fait même de leurs caractéristiques cliniques, c'est-à-dire « l'expérience indicible » constitutive de la dissociation dans le langage. Soit encore parce que le système de soin et les réseaux de praticiens se heurtent à des conceptions infranchissables lesquelles témoignent sans doute, sans le savoir, du processus psychotraumatique diffusant jusque dans les discours théoriques, au point de les rendre peu opérants. L'heure est à la construction d'un nouveau modèle. Basée sur une méthodologie linguistique, l'étude standardisée informatique et manuelle du discours de patients blessés psychiques nous a récemment permis de définir la notion de syndrome psycholinguistique traumatique (SPLIT). Notre nouvelle perspective nourrit pour ambition de dépasser les impasses diagnostiques et thérapeutiques auxquelles se confrontent encore trop de personnes blessées psychiques. Davantage objectifs que les approches séméiologiques et psychométriques, les marqueurs linguistiques ouvrent la voie au phénotypage digital du trouble de stress post-traumatique et permettent de mieux évaluer les soins recommandés. Après discussion des travaux précurseurs repérables dans la littérature, nous construisons un outil psycholinguistique permettant le repérage des sujets blessés psychiques. Le matériau d'analyse exploratoire comprend deux corpus de récits d'événements traumatiques nommés respectivement « Bataclan » (n = 20 ; recueilli parmi des personnes rescapées des attentats de Paris en 2015) et « guerre d'Afghanistan » (n = 15 ; recueilli parmi des soldats français déployés) à partir desquels nous avons constitué un groupe de témoins appariés. Les récits ont été transcrits et segmentés en propositions afin de référencer les pauses silencieuses, les pauses d'hésitation, les allongements vocaliques, les amorces de mots, les énoncés incomplets, les répétitions contiguës. Ont également été comptabilisées les caractéristiques de cohérence narrative, certains champs lexicaux (concernant la mort, les émotions, etc.), les données spatio-temporelles, les références à la personne (pronoms personnels et génériques notamment), et certaines figures de style. Afin de confirmer la validité de l'échelle SPLIT-10, nous l'avons testée sur deux corpus de récits traumatiques supplémentaires : le corpus « Nice » (n = 20) recueilli dans les jours suivant l'attaque perpétrée à Nice (14 juillet 2016) et le corpus « agression sexuelle » (n = 20) composé de témoignages de personnes victimes d'une seule agression sexuelle survenue à l'âge adulte. Les analyses ont permis d'éliminer les caractéristiques non pertinentes soit parce qu'elles étaient non significatives, soit parce qu'elles étaient trop fréquentes et/ou en pratique difficilement discriminantes : lexique des émotions, temps verbaux, pronoms non génériques, cohérence narrative. Inversement, les critères apparaissant les plus pertinents afin de différencier les récits traumatiques et non traumatiques sont les suivants : lexique concernant la mort, les parties du corps et l'irréalité ; verbes de perception, de mouvement ou de position du corps ; contexte spatial dont l'appréciation des distances ; pronoms génériques ; mention de l'heure et de la durée de l'événement ; énoncés incomplets ; répétitions contiguës ; métaphores. Afin de faciliter sa passation, nous retenons finalement une échelle à 10 items que nous exemplifions critère par critère, puis en test global. Nos résultats montrent que l'échelle SPLIT-10 discrimine significativement les récits traumatiques des récits non traumatiques. Les items de la SPLIT-10 correspondent à 5 sous-syndromes psycholinguistiques : référence à la mort (item no 1), déréalisation (items nos 2 à 4), dépersonnalisation (items nos 5 à 7), reviviscences (items nos 8 et 9) et indicibilité (item no 10). Si ces items s'avèrent compatibles avec les critères du TSPT retenus par le DSM-5 (tout comme ceux concernant le trouble de stress aigu), les marqueurs linguistiques que nous avons identifiés apparaissent nettement plus détaillés et spécifiques du traumatisme psychique que les symptômes psychiatriques habituellement décrits. Au sens où elle rend précisément compte de la dissociation, la SPLIT-10 est syndromiquement davantage cohérente que la définition du TSPT dans la nosographie. Il conviendrait de répliquer notre étude par des corpus multicentriques plus vastes, notamment en contrôlant les comorbidités et les types d'événements traumatiques uniques ou complexes, et en focalisant sur les traumas survenant dans l'enfance où le langage est en cours de construction. Aussi, le cut-off de la SPLIT-10 retenu à 5 pourrait être revu à la hausse, voir être adapté en fonction de la longueur de la production verbale. Enfin, il faudrait mener une analyse de faisabilité en pratique clinique courante mesurant l'efficacité de praticiens formés à l'utilisation de ce nouvel outil. Au-delà des 10 items que nous avons retenus, il apparaîtrait intéressant d'élaborer une échelle plus complexe en intégrant de nombreuses autres caractéristiques linguistiques utilisables à des fins de recherche fondamentale. Autant qu'elle infiltre le discours théorique tentant de la saisir, la dissociation traumatique restait, jusqu'à il y a peu, une notion difficilement modélisable. Nouvelle conception de la dissociation, le syndrome psycholinguistique traumatique témoigne de la « blessure du langage » constitutive du trauma. La grille SPLIT-10 apparaît ici davantage objective que l'analyse clinique ou que les échelles et questionnaires basées sur la nosographie (lesquels appellent toujours l'appréciation subjective des symptômes par le patient et/ou le praticien). Mais loin de dénier toute subjectivité, complétant les approches linguistiques lexicales et syntaxiques, l'analyse sémantique du discours pourrait également offrir de mieux caractériser la spécificité de ce qui a fait traumatisme chez un sujet singulier. Enfin, permettant de s'extraire de la dissociation traumatique, l'analyse pragmatique de l'interaction dialogique entre le patient et le clinicien s'avèrera fondamentale afin de comprendre les mécanismes thérapeutiques efficaces. The search for understanding psychological trauma has grown considerably over the past fifteen years, leading to a real conceptual revolution at the crossroads of psychiatric, psychological, neurobiological, sociological, anthropological fields, etc. However, despite all these enrichments of semiological descriptions, the under-diagnosis and late diagnoses of post-traumatic disorders, at the stage of intense suffering, remain numerous. Either because the traumatic origins of the disorders remain unclear, due to their very clinical characteristics, that is to say the "unspeakable experience" constituting dissociation in language, or because the healthcare system and the networks of practitioners come up against impassable conceptions which undoubtedly reflect the psychotraumatic process spreading even in theoretical discourse, to the point of rendering them ineffective. Now is the time to build a new model. Based on a linguistic methodology, the standardized computerized and manual study of the speech of psychically injured patients recently enabled us to define the notion of traumatic psycholinguistic syndrome (SPLIT). Our new perspective aims to overcome the diagnostic and therapeutic obstacles with which too many people with mental health injuries still face. More objective than semiological and psychometric approaches, linguistic markers pave the way for the digital phenotyping of post-traumatic stress disorder and make it possible to better assess the recommended care. After discussing the pioneering work in the literature, we build a psycholinguistic tool allowing the identification of psychically injured subjects. The exploratory analysis material includes two corpora of traumatic event narratives called "Bataclan" (n = 20 collected among survivors of the Paris attacks in 2015) and "Afghanistan War" (n = 15 collected among French soldiers deployed), which are matched to a control group. The narratives were transcribed and segmented into clauses and the following linguistic characteristics were analyzed: disfluencies (silent pauses, hesitation pauses, vocalic lengthenings, incomplete words, incomplete utterances, contiguous word repetitions), narrative coherence, certain lexical fields (concerning death, emotions, etc.), spatio-temporal reference, references to the person (personal and generic pronouns in particular), and non-literal language were also taken into account. In order to confirm the validity of the SPLIT-10 scale, we tested it on two additional corpora of traumatic narratives: the "Nice" corpus (n = 20) collected in the days following the attack perpetrated in Nice (July, 2016) and the "sexual assault" corpus (n = 20) composed of testimonies from people who were victims of a single sexual assault that occurred during adulthood. Linguistic characteristics which proved irrelevant either because they were insignificant, or because they were too frequent and/or in practice difficult to discriminate were eliminated: lexicon of emotions, verbal tenses, non-generic pronouns, narrative coherence. Conversely, the criteria appearing to be the most relevant in order to differentiate between traumatic and non-traumatic narratives were the following ones: lexicon concerning death, body parts and unreality; verbs of perception, movement or position of the body; spatial context including the appreciation of distances; generic pronouns; mention of the time and duration of the event; incomplete utterances; repetitions; and non-literal language. These criteria constitute a 10-item scale that we exemplify criterion by criterion, then as a global test. The results show that the SPLIT-10 scale significantly discriminates between traumatic and non-traumatic narratives. The SPLIT-10 items correspond to 5 psycholinguistic sub-syndromes: reference to death (item No. 1), derealization (items Nos. 2 to 4), depersonalization (items Nos. 5 to 7), flashbacks (items Nos. 8 and 9) and unspeakable (item No. 10). While these items turn out to be compatible with the criteria for PTSD retained by the DSM-5 (like those concerning acute stress disorder), the linguistic markers that we have identified appear to be much more detailed and specific to the psychological trauma than the usually described psychiatric symptoms. Because it accurately accounts for dissociation, SPLIT-10 is syndromically more consistent than the definition of PTSD in the nosography. It would be useful to replicate our study by considering larger multicenter corpora by controlling comorbidities, by varying the types of unique and complex traumatic events, and by focusing specifically on traumas occurring in childhood where language is still being constructed. In addition, the cut-off of SPLIT-10 retained at 5 could be revised upwards, or even be adapted according to the length of the verbal production. Moreover, a feasibility analysis should be carried out in current clinical practice measuring the effectiveness of practitioners trained in the use of this new tool. Beyond the 10 items that we have retained, it would be finally interesting to develop a more complex scale by integrating many other linguistic characteristics that can be used for fundamental research purposes. As much as it infiltrates the theoretical discourse trying to grasp it, traumatic dissociation has until now remained a notion difficult to model. As a new clinical approach to dissociation, the traumatic psycholinguistic syndrome reflects the "injury of language" constituting the trauma. The definition of the SPLIT-10 scale appears more objective than the usual clinical analysis or the scales and questionnaires based on the nosography, which calls for the subjective assessment of symptoms by the patient and/or the practitioner. Nevertheless, far from denying all subjectivity, complementing lexical and syntactic linguistic approaches, the semantic analysis of discourse also offers to better characterize the specificity of what caused the trauma in a singular subject. Finally, allowing to get out of traumatic dissociation, the pragmatic analysis of the dialogical interaction between the patient and the clinician will prove to be fundamental in order to understand the effective therapeutic mechanisms.

La psychiatrie médico-légale, indispensable au processus judiciaire dans nos États de droit, est une discipline en pleine évolution. Au sein même de la matière, de nombreuses missions coexistent et soumettent les psychiatres à de nombreux exercices qui se caractérisent par leur transdisciplinarité. L'une des principales missions des experts est la détermination de la responsabilité pénale. L'objectif de cette communication consiste à donner au lecteur quelques grandes balises en lien avec cette mission complexe. Forensic psychiatry, which is very important in our states of law, is a medical (sub-)speciality that is constantly evolving. Within the filed, there are a high number of different missions characterized by their transdisciplinarity. The insanity defence, also known as the mental disorder defence, is one of the most frequent and important missions for forensic psychiatrists. Aim of this communication is to discuss the state of the art about the insanity defence process. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In 2008, the American Medical Association Journal of Ethics dedicated an entire volume to ethical issues in sleep medicine. Texts published in the “Educating for Professionalism” and “Law, Policy, and Society” sections of this volume serve as theorical starting points to establish a correlation between lack of medical training in sleep disorders and ethical dilemmas encountered by expert witnesses during trials related to problematic automatic behaviours that occurred during REM sleep.

How are living performances grasped by those who witness them and pass them on “before they settle between the pages […] of the encyclopedias of theater”? By what means, with what instruments, according to what attitudes and strategies? This introduction sets out the itinerary of the “polyphonic investigation” collected in this volume, while proposing a preliminary typology of its “empirical anthology” as well as some conceptual reference points (drawn from Husserl, Merleau-Ponty or Bergson). [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This article aims to outline considerations about recognition in the psychoanalytic clinic by contrasting it with trauma. In this context, recognition presents itself not only as a form of care promoted by sufficient environmental adaptation, but also as an ethical position assumed in the clinic itself. On the other hand, trauma emerges when the environment fails to recognize the individual's needs and to mediate his vulnerability in his relationship with the environment. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Jacques Derrida’s intellectual journey is marked by his engagement and militancy. Many of his political interventions are related to memory and reflection on Shoah’s heritage. This article intends to analyze Derrida’s conceptual contribution to the debate. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This paper examines passages of works by Saint Augustine, Nietzsche and Walter Benjamin based on certain themes proposed by Jacques Derrida, with an emphasis on the issue of translation and writing as an inscription of the self. The problem (the Benjaminian Aufgabe, that is, a necessary and impossible task) is how to translate the untranslatable, namely, the life, the necessity and the impossibility of this translation, narrated from the philosophy of these four authors.

This article presents the theoretical and practical path involving the creation of the Pausas e Pousos (Pauses and Landings) Project - Health Worker Experiences in Times of the Pandemic. The initiative aims to take a closer look at the experiences of health workers in the Brazilian scenario of the COVID-19 pandemic. Narrative knowledge and testimony are presented as special modalities of narrative production, analyzing the moral modalities of receiving the health professionals' testimonies. The use of digital platforms as a resource for the production of memories was also discussed. Last, we describe the creation of a space for writing, memories, care and dialogue through artistic interventions using digital tools and highlight the power that sharing stories may have on coping with fear and emotional distress of health workers. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The Great Journey and Writing or life belong to the current concentration camp literature which is intended to bear witness to the history that humanity has gone through. We will try, in this paper, to demonstrate how Jorge Semprun uses literary artifice in order to relate his experience of the holocaust in a particular vision where fiction and testimony come together and harmonize to convey the unspeakable.
