Abstract

A powerful personal narrative of recovery and an illuminating philosophical exploration of traumaOn July 4, 1990, while on a morning walk in southern France, Susan Brison was attacked from behind, severely beaten, sexually assaulted, strangled to unconsciousness, and left for dead. She survived, but her world was destroyed. Her training as a philosopher could not help her make sense of things, and many of her fundamental assumptions about the nature of the self and the world it inhabits were shattered.At once a personal narrative of recovery and a philosophical exploration of trauma, this bravely and beautifully written book examines the undoing and remaking of a self in the aftermath of violence. It explores, from an interdisciplinary perspective, memory and truth, identity and self, autonomy and community. It offers imaginative access to the experience of a rape survivor as well as a reflective critique of a society in which women routinely fear and suffer sexual violence.As Brison observes, trauma disrupts memory, severs past from present, and incapacitates the ability to envision a future. Yet the act of bearing witness, she argues, facilitates recovery by integrating the experience into the survivor's life's story. She also argues for the importance, as well as the hazards, of using first-person narratives in understanding not only trauma, but also larger philosophical questions about what we can know and how we should live.

Abstract

Non, la haine et la violence ne sont pas inscrites dans les gènes des peuples des Grands Lacs! Mais que penser de ces images en provenance de l’Est du Congo, de cette guerre qui a pris un nouveau visage, celui de la barbarie, de la cruauté gratuite? Avec les femmes comme principales victimes: violées, mutilées, terrorisées.Depuis quinze ans, Denis Mukwege, médecin-chef à l’hôpital de Panzi (Sud-Kivu), fait face à une urgence qui dure: vagins détruits et âmes mortes. Le gynécologue coud et répare. A mains nues, il se bat contre le viol, cette arme de guerre qui mine toute une société. Son combat lui vaut une large reconnaissance internationale, dont le prix des droits de l’homme en France et le prix Roi Baudouin pour le développement 2011.Plongeant le lecteur dans ce Kivu paradisiaque devenu un enfer, ce livre doit sa force aux regards croisés de deux témoins de premier plan: Colette Braeckman, une journaliste passionnée par le Congo, qui revient d’abord sur les séquences du désastre. Un rappel historique indispensable. Elle nous invite ensuite à démêler les mobiles des seigneurs de la guerre, fait écho à la souffrance des femmes, leur rend hommage... Sa plume «trahit» sa colère, son écoeurement, sa compassion. Parfois désenchantée et révoltée, mais jamais fataliste. Denis Mukwege, au premier plan, vit ces horreurs de l’intérieur. Avec lui, c’est bien sûr le médecin qui parle, mais très vite l’homme, le citoyen s’exprime. Ses réflexions complètent à merveille le récit hallucinant de l’auteur. Le résultat : un ouvrage original et puissant… (Bron: covertekst)
