In “Placing Myself in the Picture: An Autobiographical Approach to the Phenomenology of Language, Identity, Trauma and Memory” this researcher juxtaposes philosophical and psychoanalytic theories of language with descriptions of experiences of migration, language learning and education. She studies the effects of having one’s language of identification undervalued by political tensions and examine the subjective meaning of reconstructing one’s identity following a language-related emotional crisis. Carra-Salsberg defines her own libidinal attachments to introjected tongues and discuss how my present state of being within uneven languages were carved by the memory of experiences as a child and an adolescent migrant. Similar to Jacques Derrida’s (1996) description of “disorders of identity”, she blends theory with recollections of lived occurrences to conceptualize the way in which the inscription of early traumatic occurrences within languages ground individuals’ life-long responses and attitudes towards their acquired tongues.
