The crime of Tomás Tello and the tragedy: a possible psychoanalytic reading in the face of horror

The recent murder case of Thomas Telloas well as previously that of Fernando Baez Sosa -and even with the dissemination it has had, including the consequences for the murderers- it has such brutal features of expression of “the tragic”which becomes a story of unusual pain, relevance and interest.

The human psyche is organized in an isomorphic way to that of a certain narrative organization that is sometimes “the tragedy”. (And that is what we psychoanalysts know, those of us who are trained in the study of human nature, with the famous tragedy of “King Oedipus”).

Transforming that tragic ending into a possible diverse course at the end of that sinister plot implies being able to hold on to a social and subjective organizer that rpresent admitting a loss; give up something to achieve something else. For all these reasons that make the deepest layers of the very nature of the human being, the expression of this tragic end of the Tello case, such as Baez Sosatakes on a significant significance for everything it represents of the unconscious dramas (scenes and psychic scenarios that inhabit us) to each human being.

It is interesting to be able to think about “barbarian “in each one, to the barbarian in the subject, in terms of the fact that language is the Other, and in that dimension it is also a presence that inhabits us: the barbarian is not only the other, but dwells, with greater or lesser modulation of the law, made its own, the intricate folds of the psyche of each subject.

When it is distant and harmless, the difference can be up to soothing, in particular when that language of the Other seems to be desired and even imitated in learning that includes mimicry and identification of those who wish to approach it and, even so, it is not enough to complete that gap, that the best of the identification mosaics attempts the amalgamation of the abandoned remains. of objects.

The rise of hate

Hatred arises when a part of the self registers the horror of the cause of the plague in oneself, within oneself, the foreigner who awakens horror for the radically different. This is where unrest breaks out in the culture., when instinctual renunciation paradoxically produces the effect of unmixing and then the death drive emerges naked. Expressions of it They are horror, murder, violence unleashed and without return.

Let this whole situation that so mobilizes our society, each and every one of us, be a commitment to delegitimize all social practices and link violent, even when it appears “naturalized.” It is an urgent need to sustain the questioning of any indication of physical, symbolic violence or harassment of, for and with our young people. Which necessarily implies actively supporting the task of the generations that we are in charge of accompanying, raising, caring for and educating the other generations, awake, vigilant and close to our young people.

Raising one’s voice in the face of situations of physical and/or symbolic violence that sustain the denigration of the other in any of its forms implies commitment, implies assuming the tragedies of others as one’s own and also assume the causes of those who suffer that pain in their weakness and vulnerability.

Humanity in diversity

Becoming more human implies that the other can be a source of identification with their diversity, in that difference that makes them unique, in what the other does not resemble oneself and, still, being able sustain and strengthen singular registration in the field of the Other, in the social bond that makes life possible collectively and in the deployments of our subjectivities.
