"Resistance" and "resiliency" of the Ordinary Subject in the Romanian Communist Totalitarian Context: Configurations of Politics in the Light of Clini

Summary/Abstract: In an attempt to analyse the internal psychological processes involved in ”adapting” within the totalitarian frame, that is to say the treatment of trauma, we try to show that "resistance" encompasses more varied patterns than what is usually appointed by the term ”political resistance” or ”dissidence”. These multiform resistances already entered the attention of political philosophers like Foucault and sociologists like Maffesoli or Michel de Certeau, as practices of urban everyday life. In our knowledge, they were never yet studied in the view of internal processes, that is, as internal relation to trauma and coercion. The present article sets out to describe and interpret the modalities by which the subjects of a totalitarian regime – in this particular case the communist totalitarian regime in Romania – have recourse to personal, social and cultural resources in order to render meaning to their life, in a process of subjectivation and symbolization of the traumatic everyday life. The study presents certain modalities and strategies, extracted from 21 narratives by means of a qualitative research methodology, carried out in research toward a doctoral thesis at University Paris 8 Vincennes-Saint Denis.
