English to Portuguese: Art Therapy and political violence
Source text - English Art Therapy and political violence
Debra Kalmanowitz and Bobby Lloyd
Introduction
The aim of this chapter is to place art therapy and art making in the context of political violence and trauma. This chapter takes the form of a number of short sections which can be read separately or together, but ultimately build upon each other 1. It details many of the themes that are echoed throughout this book and it is hoped that these will form useful building blocks in further thinking about this subject:
§ the context and impact of violence
§ art therapy, image, memory and trauma
§ art therapy, coping 2 and resilience 3
§ art therapy and making meaning 4
§ conclusion
The context and impact of violence
I think that in this gust 5 of violence we have seen the disintegration of a certain layer of culture that makes possible the illusions that are needed to maintain a more or less tolerable fabric of life 6… Suddenly you see that all sense of shame has disappeared, that even mechanisms of social hypocrisy that are needed to maintain the fabric of life have vanished. And in some way it is all connected to life under terrorism. Because if you live in a reality in which you see people torn apart, in which you see flesh torn, it 7 is very difficult for you to go on believing in something. And then you see how all mechanisms are falling apart: of both the private body and the public body.

Introdução
O objetivo deste capítulo é situar a arte terapia e o fazer artístico em um contexto de violência política e trauma. Este capítulo é formado por várias pequenas partes que foram, basicamente, estruturadas de forma relacionada 1, mas podem ser lidas separadas ou em conjunto.
Muito dos temas apresentados minuciosamente ao longo do texto são repetidos ao longo do livro e espera-se que esse trabalho forme fundamentos úteis em futuras reflexões sobre o tema “Arte Terapia e Violência Política”:
· o contexto e impacto da violência.
· arte terapia, imagem, memória e trauma.
· arte terapia, enfrentamento 2 e resiliência 3.
· arte terapia e o dar significado 4.
· conclusão.
O contexto e impacto da violência
Penso que nesta manifestação repentina e intensa 5 de violência temos percebido a desintegração de um certo nível da cultura que possibilita as ilusões necessárias para a manutenção, mais ou menos tolerantes, do tecido social 6. Inesperadamente percebe-se que todo o sentimento de vergonha desapareceu, que até mesmo os mecanismos da hipocrisia social, que são necessários para a manutenção do tecido social desapareceram. Toda esta situação está, de alguma forma, relacionada com a vida em tempos de terrorismo e acontece quando vivemos numa realidade na qual vemos pessoas arrasadas, corpos dilacerados; se torna 7 muito difícil continuarmos acreditando em alguma coisa. Percebe-se, então, que todos os mecanismos estão se desintegrando tanto na sociedade privada quanto na pública.
