Sexual abuse on children. From child sacer to talking subject.

Abstract

The present work examines the effects of sexual abuses on children subjectivity starting from concepts like the havoc on subjectivation caused by concentration camps developed by Primo Levi, Hannah Arendt and Giorgio Agamben. It also considers psychoanalytical concepts about psychic trauma by Sigmund Freud and Jacques Lacan along with heideggerian philosophical notion of event, reconsidered by Alain Badiou and Jacques

Lacan. It´s sustained as a main strength that denial and apathy from the community may be as desubjectivizing as the sexual abuse itself. The author stablishes coordinates for clinical and educative approaches and the notion that the positioning of professionals should be sustained on a communitary ethics and the decision of a desire that doesn´t back off.
