“…Esa ampliación de la noción de víctima ha contribuido a la conformación de comunidades de personas que reivindican reconocimiento y reparación a través de las narraciones de sufrimiento que ponen en juego en el espacio público. La centralidad de la condición de víctima en las sociedades contemporáneas debe ser pensada en relación a su capacidad para legitimar demandas y exigencias de los más diversos sectores de la ciudadanía (Sarti, 2011).…”

Palabras claveTrauma psíquico Temporalidad Víctimas Movilización política ResumenEn el mundo contemporáneo la condición de víctima ha cobrado centralidad como vector de identificación colectiva, y el trauma psíquico se ha constituido en un lenguaje razonable para comunicar el sufrimiento. Las víctimas de conflictos bélicos, violencia de género, catástrofes, etc., ponen en juego categorías como trauma o estrés postraumático para exigir derechos. Este es el caso de las víctimas de un incendio ocurrido en Buenos Aires, que durante años se movilizaron exigiendo que se realice el juicio penal para castigar a los responsables del hecho. Como sujetos de la política pública de atención en salud mental, se vincularon con los psicólogos y psiquiatras de un servicio estatal de estrés postraumático. A su vez, un grupo de profesionales psi con reconocidas trayectorias de compromiso con los derechos humanos apoyaron su causa. Apelando a la conexión entre trauma e impunidad, denunciaron al Estado por sumir a las víctimas en una larga y penosa espera por la realización del juicio. Al hacerlo, dejaron expuesta una relación entre el proceso psíquico y el proceso penal. Aquí retomo la "antropología del tiempo" para analizar esta coordinación que se dio durante la espera entre procesos de diferente naturaleza. Para ello, me apoyo en los materiales producidos durante un trabajo de campo etnográfico de tres años con las víctimas. Concluyo que los profesionales psi y el Estado tuvieron un rol central en la definición del hecho como traumático y en la certificación de la veracidad del sufrimiento de las víctimas que, al mismo tiempo, lo confrontaban. Keywords Psychic trauma Temporality Victims Political mobilization AbstractIn the contemporary world victimhood has become a vector of collective identity, and psychic trauma has become a reasonable language for communicating their suffering. The victims of war, gender--based violence, disasters, etc., come into play psychological categories such as trauma or post--traumatic stress disorder to demand their rights. This is what happened with the victims of a fire occurred in Buenos Aires, who for several years mobilized asking for the punishment of those responsible of the incident. As related with public policy mental health care, victims were treated by psychologists and psychiatrists of a State service concerned with post--traumatic stress disorder. At the same time, a group of 'psi' professionals with recognized trajectories concerned with human rights supported their cause. Calling attention to the connection between trauma and impunity, they sued the State for the long and painful wait of the victims until the completion of the criminal trial. By doing so, they exposed a relationship between the psychological process and the criminal proceedings. Based on the materials produced during a three--year ethnographic fieldwork with the victims, I return here to the "anthropology of time" in order to analyze this coordination that occurred during the waiting time between those processes of d...

“…-access in Nov 05 2016]. 23 On sufficiently convincing victims to the police and justice system, see Lins (2014), and Vieira (2011); and the need of constructing victims for social and right claims, see Sarti (2011 and2014), and Fassin and Rechtman (2009). family creation, and thus they emerge in media imagery as victims marked by suffering, therefore legitimate. They are mostly white middle or upper class women, and many of them stressed the sacrifice the couple went through to pay for the expensive treatment.…”

“…It is worth noting that especially after the preventive arrest and, most definitely, after the conviction and escape, the stories highlight the suffering of those women. Even more, it is necessary to produce convincing and fragile victims in order to effectively be able to claim for rights (Sarti, 2011;2014;Fassin;Rechtman, 2009) and here, in fact, to claim for a conviction. The context of women seeking motherhood -in fact, within gender norms -makes the victim construction easier, as well as the rising production of the doctor as a villain.…”

This article explores the case involving Roger Abdelmassih and its media coverage, in order to understand the symbolic constructions at stake in the period between 2009, when the complaints against the doctor were disclosed by the newspaper Folha de São Paulo, and 2016. The public exposition of the complaints and its legalpolice deployments in the commercial media promoted a social reading of the case, producing a moral narrative about the type of violence, the aggressor and his victims.

“…To this end, I follow anthropological approaches that treat emotions and feelings as language, as forms of communication (Mauss, 1999(Mauss, , 2003Sarti, 2011Sarti, , 2014 that produce a "micro-politics of emotions": an idea that refers to the ability to dramatize, reinforce or change the social macro-relations that create the interpersonal relations in which individual emotional experience emerges (Lutz and Abu-Lughod, 2008;Rezende and Coelho, 2010). 7 To this end, I begin by revisiting my doctoral thesis and show the pedagogical quality of the rhetorics of emotional control, and how it is produced through the coexistence of different gender dynamics.…”

This article reflects on the therapeutic culture that Brazilian anonymous support groups produce -especially in MADA (Women Who Love Too Much Anonymous) -and on contemporary feminist strategies and forms of action in digital networks, as pedagogical instances of emotional learning and social (re)organization of romantic suffering. In this way, I attempt to understand how accounts about love and romantic suffering offer modes of action, systems of communication, and exchanges between these domains.
