在政治和生物医学话语中，“创伤后应激障碍”已成为创伤和创伤记忆的一组组织概念。然而，这些概念都是基于这样一种理解，即创伤记忆是一种离散的病因学事件，当再次经历时，就会产生症状。在这篇文章中，我探讨了在智利的圣地亚哥，从货币，历史和情感债务的经验中产生的政治经济语言的历史变化的创伤的替代框架。这项民族志研究是基于历史上左翼población（贫困的城市部门），并遵循一个前流亡共产主义激进分子和她的养女交织的叙述。在这篇文章中，我描述了母亲试图居住在一个不合时宜的社会主义政治语言和女儿的拒绝这两种语言和她母亲的痛苦。我详细阐述了这些尝试是如何在新自由主义的现在货币和主体间债务的产品和生产力。通过描述这些主题所使用的不同历史语言，我试图唤起对创伤的理解，而不是将其视为个人拥有或病因学事件，而是将其视为新自由主义背景下的参考失调。这种指称的不和谐来自于告知主体性的历史语言之间的差距。我探讨了这样的差距如何能够创造的情况下，每天本身都威胁到脱节的主题，并产生有害的情感关系。通过这种方式，我询问创伤，恢复和日常生活之间的关系。
In political and biomedical discourses, “posttraumatic stress disorder” has become a set of organizing concepts for trauma and traumatic memory. These concepts, however, are predicated on an understanding of traumatic memory as a discrete etiological event that, when reexperienced, is productive of symptoms. In this essay, I explore alternative framings of trauma that arise out of historical changes in political economic language and from experiences of monetary, historical, and affective indebtedness in Santiago, Chile. This ethnographic research is based in an historically leftist población(poor urban sector) and follows the interwoven narratives of a formerly exiled communist militant and her adopted daughter. Throughout this essay, I describe the mother's attempts to inhabit an untimely language of socialist politics and the daughter's rejection of both this language and her mother's pain. I elaborate on how these attempts are products of and productive of monetary and intersubjective indebtedness in a neoliberal present. By describing the differing historical languages inhabited by these subjects, I attempt to evoke an understanding of trauma not as an individual possession or etiological event, but rather as a referential dissonance in the neoliberal context. This referential dissonance emerges from the gap between the historical languages that inform subjectivities. I explore how such a gap can create contexts in which the everyday itself both threatens the disarticulation of the subject and produces injurious affective relationships. In this way, I interrogate relationships between trauma, recovery, and the everyday.
