La memoria como un proyecto literario que comporta la verdad del ser hablante : una lectura desde el discurso psicoanalítico y neuropsicológico aplicada a la clínica con el adulto mayor.

Abstract

In the present research, an analysis has been carried out on memory as a literary project that involves the truth of the speaking being as a way of contributing to the clinic with the elderly from a reading divided into two discourses: neuropsychological and psychoanalytic. The case study technique was applied, whose main instruments were the clinical interview and observation with a sample of two patients treated in an oncological hospital institution during the pre-professional practice period, which were found in the hematology hospitalization area. The results showed that fiction is an essential resource within the reconstruction of human memory, which is malleable, in constant movement and marked by oblivion and repression. Considering the particularity of both cases, a resistance to an unknown knowledge was observed: to the real and the unspeakable at stake. Therefore, it is concluded that this memory put into action through the novelistic story is a literary project that guides, orders, sustains the experience of the speaking being and at the same time announces an inescapable destiny. In this dimension, it is possible to rescue, through the narration of memories and the function of forgetting, the subjective dimension of the memory of the elderly who carries a truth directed to the Other, always its addressee.
