ABSTRACT
In this chapter, Rivera-Largacha and Gutiérrez-Peláez draw from their clinical experiences working with actors and victims of sociopolitical violence in Colombia to illuminate how various forms of violence—domestic, gendered, social, and political—sediment in the psychic lives of those who have been structurally excluded from the nation-building project. Posing the exclusion of the radical other as the thread that holds together all these violences, the article suggests that psychoanalysis can help counteract segregation and misrecognition through the value of singularity.
