Gabriele M. Schwab, Emergent Subjectivities: Globalism, Ecology and Psychic Life in Marcos Prado's Estamira
Both Prado and Biehl choose the case of deeply traumatized women to show how the creative reworking and transformation of memory becomes a source of resilience. In Estamira's case such transformation takes place in the development of her own cosmological system and in Catarina's case (in Vita) it takes place through her poetry. In both cases the filmmaker or anthropologist become agents of memorialization through a complex dynamic of trauma and transference. Estamira(2004) was shown in conjunction with Gabriele M. Schwab’s symposium presentation on 4 November, 2011, 4-6:30 in KIVA at ASU-West campus.
