- Abstract
In this article, we discuss the question of affective blunting linked to child abuse, investigating through two different speech genres, scientific discourse and romance, blunted behaviors and the context in which they were constituted. Thus, we discuss the importance of primary socialization in the constitution of the subject, how "child abuse" becomes visible in the west and its relation to affective blunting. We have chosen to analyze the classics Victor Hugo's Toilers of the Sea and The Unbearable Lightness of Being by Milan Kundera, aiming to understand the blunted behaviors by selecting excerpts from the stories of their key characters. We thought about the echoes and reflections of several other inscribing this personality trait in children and corroborating for not overflowing affections. Considering the subject in terms of functionality, is to tie its possibilities to a being regulated by a society of "fragmented knowledge"; to an existence of estrangement with himself, himself with significant others or not, and himself with the world. Those who are classified as emotionally blunted do not lack desire, simply have never been given the authorization to exercise it outside sociocultural and political parameters. It is necessary to think of an education that makes possible the singularities from the favoring of an autonomy to exist as "power-knowledge-being", and thus, carer of the self and re-signifier of his network of nexus.
