Testimony as “Survival” of an “Irrevocable” Past: Historiography, Present and Temporality

Traditionally, testimony was understood by historiography either as a vestige of the past, from which knowledge could be extracted by inferential means, or as a direct access route to it, generally marked by the psychoanalytic notion of “trauma”. In this paper I propose an approach to testimony as “...

In this paper I propose an approach to testimony as “survival” of an “irrevocable past”. Through the concept of “survival”, developed by the art historian Georges Didi-Huberman, I will try to unpin the testimony of its uses marked by the aforementioned temporal dichotomy and to assess its temporarily impure character. The notion of “irrevocable past”, as introduced by Berber Bevernage, will allow me to propose that historical time, in general, and the present, in particular, are not something given and self-evident but constructed and disputed. Tradicionalmente, el testimonio fue entendido por la historiografía o bien como un vestigio del pasado, del que podía extraerse conocimiento por medios inferenciales o bien como una vía de acceso directo al mismo, en general marcado por la noción psicoanalítica de “trauma”. En este trabajo propongo una aproximación al testimonio como “supervivencia” de un “pasado irrevocable”. A través del concepto de “supervivencia”, tomado del historiador del arte Georges Didi-Huberman, intentaré desanclar al testimonio de sus usos marcados por la dicotomía temporal antes mencionada y valorar su carácter temporalmente impuro. La noción de “pasado irrevocable” me permitirá proponer que el tiempo histórico, en general, y el presente, en particular, no son algo dado y autoevidente sino construido y disputado.
