Abstract

The article attempts to outline the psychopolitical role of trauma in the "refugee crisis". By questioning the very concept of the "refugee crisis", it is briefly explored how workers such as psychologists, social workers and even teachers intervene psychosocially in places of "hospitality" (hotels, apartments and camps) and negotiate the a priori traumatized refugee figures. As trauma is approached by mainstream psychology through the concept of Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), the article attempts a political and critical revision of the concept of trauma, concluding with a political counter-proposal of how to read and approach the traumatic event.
