It is when illness threatens to erase her family\u2019s history forever that the protagonist of this first-person narrative decides to undertake a journey towards that unknown land, towards that country from which her ancestors were exiled, deported. In the beginning, there are no names\u2014<\/span> \u201ceverything is designated but not named\u201d<\/span> [1] <\/span>; the names will only come later, once, in a sense, the barrier of silence has been overcome, says C\u00e9cile Wajsbrot about her novel <\/span>M\u00e9morial<\/span><\/em>.<\/span><\/p>\n

While the father and the sister never spoke about what had happened before, never uttered a word in their mother tongue, never wanted to return to their country of origin, while the silence they jealously kept threatens to be solved forever behind the wall of a memory-affecting illness, she, the last surviving member of the lineage, tries to recover the bits of what once was their story, in order to be able to go on living.<\/span><\/p>\n

The young woman travels, \u201cguided by the idea [she has formed] of [her] family\u2019s life\u201d\u00a0[2]. It is about life and death<\/span> : for some, \u201cdeliberately blinding oneself to the past in order to be able to move forward, to keep going<\/span> \u2014<\/span> to be able to live\u201d\u00a0[3]<\/span> ; for her, \u201cresuming memory where they had left it\u201d\u00a0[4]. Silence, misunderstanding, and a fundamental \u201cabout that, we don\u2019t talk\u201d lie at the heart of this narrative and paradoxically become an indelible mark on the subject, orienting her entire life, like a destiny.<\/span><\/p>\n

If there are discontents in the family, if there is unease in the speaking being, <\/span>it is due to the misunderstanding in which our ancestors were immersed<\/span><\/em>\u00a0[5], argues Lacan. And he adds that this is what we inherit<\/span> \u2014<\/span> this is what this lineage has transmitted to us when \u201cgiving us life\u201d […] To the extent that even before this beautiful legacy, you are part of, or rather, you partake in, the stuttering of your ancestors\u201d\u00a0[6].<\/span><\/p>\n

In this issue, F<\/span>a<\/span><\/em>mil invites you to read interpretations, written by four colleagues, of what is transmitted, regarding silence and misunderstanding \u2014<\/span> not without \u201ca desire that is not anonymous\u201d\u00a0[7].<\/span><\/p>\n

Why is psychoanalysis interested in the family and the current discontent within it ? That is the question Katty Langelez-Stevens attempts to answer in the PIPOL12 podcast.<\/span><\/p>\n
