Políticas del duelo

Entre lo psíquico y lo social

Abstract

The proliferation of discourses on grief is correlated with the historical moment that the country is going through, where violence takes forms and scales never before experienced by society, exercised under a framework of complicity between different governmental instances and Organized Crime. The pain is in the air, so many mechanisms appear as prescriptions to process what is impossible, the death of loved ones, immeasurable losses. This is shaping a policy of mourning that, in turn, denotes a policy of lives and deaths that produces spaces where there are lives that are worth transacting and others that are not. The document presents the difficulty that is imposed before any policy of mourning and, at the same time, the magnitude of that subjective effort that can not be other than one realized under socially shared resources.
