Abstract
Jean Améry, superviviente de la Shoá,
experimentará durante dos décadas la clausura de
la palabra, como consecuencia traumática de la violencia y la tortura padecidas. Desde mediados de
los años sesenta hasta su muerte, Améry se ocupará ensayística y literariamente de la destrucción
infligida a él. Su empresa narrativa será el esfuerzo titánico por subvertir el “topos de inaplicabilidad”, asociado con el recuerdo del dolor extremo,
determinante para su condición de víctima, mediante
la palabra. una palabra capaz de devolverle –siempre de modo parcial y subsidiario– la condición de
sujeto. Sin embargo, la experiencia del dolor será
inaprehensible, subsumida por el tiempo en la etérea forma de una abstracción. La memoria se revela a Améry como incapaz frente a la substancia
del dolor, tan solo asequible a recurrentes escenas
de penosa claridad para la visión.
Jean Améry, survivor of the Shoah, will be unable for two decades to theorize his experience, as a traumatic consequence of the violence and torture suffered. From the mid-sixties until his death, Améry will deal in essays and literarily with the destruction inflicted on him. Its narrative task will be the titanic effort to subvert the impossibility, associated with the memory of extreme pain, determinant for its victim status, through the word. A word capable of returning you –always in a partial and subsidiary way– the condition of subject. However, the experience of pain will be intangible, subsumed by time in the ethereal form of an abstraction. memory is revealed in Améry as incapable against the substance of pain, only accessible to recurrent scenes of painful clarity for vision.
