Bako and Zana’s work situates itself within a contemporary psychoanalytic discourse that returns to a foundational preoccupation of psychoanalysis: the conceptualization of trauma not merely as an intrapsychic phenomenon but as a transgenerational and collective formation that persists within the fabric of community life and intersubjective relations. In reading Bako and Zana’s text, what emerges for this author is psychoanalysis’s social responsibility: a vocation to create spaces for transformational group experience. I offer reflections on my Hungarian colleagues’ contributions through the lens of my clinical work with an indigenous community on Colombia’s Caribbean coast – a community that has sustained centuries-long resistance against colonial violence and the various manifestations of capitalist encroachment upon their collective life and territorial integrity. I also seek common ground between Bako and Zana’s Bionian framework and my effort to deploy Lacanian theory in community psychoanalysis.
