Resumen
El presente artículo plantea un cuestionamiento a la teoría general sobre el trauma propuesta por la filósofa Catherine Malabou. A nuestro juicio, lo que Malabou califica como una teoría general del trauma es más bien una teoría genérica del trauma, radicando su falla en la generalización del paradigma de la cerebralidad a toda forma de trauma. Intentaremos mostrar que el mutismo simbólico del sujeto postraumático en los traumas sociopolíticos no descansa solo en el fundamento material que ofrece la cerebralidad, sino que depende de un colapso de las estructuras de significado que caracterizan a los traumas sociopolíticos, desplome del sentido que debe ser pensado dentro de los marcos de la historia, el despliegue del antagonismo político y las entreveradas vías del reconocimiento.
This text criticizes the general theory on trauma proposed by the philosopher Catherine Malabou in texts such as The new wounded: from neurosis to brain damage and Ontology of the accident: an essay on destructive plasticity. In our opinion, what Malabou qualifies as a general theory of trauma is rather a generic theory of trauma, its failure being rooted in the generalization of the paradigm of cerebrality to all forms of trauma. We will try to show that the symbolic silence of the post-traumatic subject in sociopolitical traumas does not rest solely on the material foundation offered by cerebrality, but rather depends on a collapse of the meaning structures that characterize sociopolitical traumas, a collapse of the meaning that must be thought within the frames of history, the unfolding of political antagonism and the intertwined paths of recognition.
