The combined issue of both the impossibility and the need for attention to the horrors that cause trauma is at stake in this chapter. In dialogue with Freud, the works analysed propose that his opinion that trauma cannot be helped through psychoanalysis because psychotic patients are incapable of transference, does not relieve the society whose violence caused the trauma from the obligation to repair what it had destroyed. This imposes the conclusion that trauma must be dealt with in committed art, even if, or precisely because it cannot be represented. A detailed look at some photographs that “stage” trauma will help understand how this is possible, difficult as it is, because it is necessary. |
