Abstract(s)
O presente estudo visa contribuir para a compreensão das vivências subjectivas de homens
conscritos mobilizados para a Guerra Colonial Portuguesa (1961-1974). Recorreu-se ao
Método das Narrativas de Associação Livre (Hollway & Jefferson, 2000) realizadas a dois
participantes, ambos com 73 anos, mobilizados entre 1972-1974 para Moçambique ou para
Angola. A análise das narrativas, orientada pelos postulados teóricos da metodologia
proposta, revela que as experiências de guerra dada a sua natureza traumática, desencadeiam
alterações à subjectividade dos participantes. Parte das vivências poderão tornar-se
irrepresentáveis, dada a dificuldade da mentalização necessária à sua definição e nomeação,
processamento e elaboração. Sugere-se que contexto de cada ex-combatente, quer individual,
como contextual, poderá contribuir na determinação dos fenómenos psíquicos a que
recorrem predominantemente para lidar com as experiências de destrutividade.
ABSTRACT: This study aims to contribute to an understanding of the subjective experiences of conscript men mobilised for the Portuguese Colonial War (1961-1974). The Free Association Narrative Interview Method (Hollway & Jefferson, 2000) was used with two participants, both aged 73, who were mobilised between 1972-1974 to Mozambique or Angola. The analysis of the narratives, guided by the theoretical postulates of the proposed methodology, reveals that war experiences, given their traumatic nature, trigger changes in the subjectivity of the participants. Some of the experiences may become unrepresentable, given the difficulty of the mentalisation needed to define, name, process and elaborate them. It is suggested that the context of each ex-combatant, both individual and contextual, may contribute to determining the psychic phenomena they predominantly use to deal with experiences of destructiveness.
