Resumen de Silêncio e Dignidade na contemporaneidade
- English
The article addresses silence and hu-man dignity as facets of contemporary ethical suffering. The authors, psychoanalysts, reflected from their witnesses in the cli-nic, in particular, about a chronicle of a patient, with literary value, originated during his psychoanalytic process. Then, they sought an articulation of this pro-blem, privileging Lévinas’ unpublished writings. To this end, a dialogue was used between the chronicle and Lévinas’ conference on the word and silence, with a view to reverberating considerations about the ethical need for the word to be heard, and not captured by the being, just as they questioned the viability of the caring in psychology in the face of contemporary suffering.

Resumo: O artigo aborda o silêncio e a dignidade humana como facetas do sofrimento ético recorrente na contemporaneidade. Os autores, psicanalistas, refletiram a partir das suas testemunhas na clínica, em especial, sobre uma crônica de um paciente, com valor literário, originada durante o seu processo psicanalítico. Em seguida, buscaram uma articulação dessa problemática privilegiando os escritos inéditos de Lévinas. Para tanto, empregou-se um diálogo entre a crônica e a conferência de Lévinas sobre a palavra e silêncio, numa perspectiva de fazer reverberar considerações sobre a necessidade ética da palavra a ser ouvida, e não capturada pelo ser, assim como questionaram a viabilidade do cuidar em psicologia frente ao sofrimento contemporâneo.
