Narrativa testemunhal:

Abstract

Testimonial narrative keeps reaching a wider space in the context of refuge. It happens, in the first place, because this practice of storytelling is indispensable for those who wish to achieve the proper legal protection. Secondly, it is through the narrative that the refugee frequently speaks the unspeakable, tells their personal experience even if it means that they need to deal with a traumatic memory. This narrative, otherwise, is constantly tested, measured, verified in a context in which the borders of truth and lie are blurred. This paper seeks to explore the refugee’s testimonial narrative as a pathway to discuss individual memory and subjectivity.
