The Stained Glass Windows of the Soundproof Room

The book combines the psychological context and emotional and existential consequences for the individual in two commonplace situations in dictatorships occurring anywhere on the planet during all periods of time, including the Brazilian dictatorship and police operations: the systematic torture of political prisoners and common ones, especially the poor. It also uses as a reference the habit of the dictatorships, extremely common in Brazil, of delivering the bodies of tortured prisoners to the families in sealed caskets. Many times with the express prohibition to open the same.
The text also includes a report on the book "Amnesty International Report on Torture," published by Editorial Fundamentos in 1984, which reports on the situations of torture in over 90 countries and describes the psychological disorders suffered by those tortured: "after the first day of torture, I had lost all sense of time."
With the aggravation of "persistent pain in the back part of the head, loss of memory, difficulties concentrating,]dizziness, insomnia, nightmares, depression and anxiety[/url], primarily when hearing loud noises."
Within these "psychological" contexts (loss of the sense of time, dizziness, etc.), the book combines the psychological "decomposition" of a single character, which cauterizes in its "persona" the main archetypes of its time, which are expressed through three characters: a man, a woman and the torturer. The three interact and decompose inside a soundproof room.
In the gradual psychological decomposition of this "persona," the reader is encouraged to complement the density and depth of the experiences and reflections experienced by the archetypes that make up the same, which confirms its existence by interacting with the poetic links that it establishes with the reader - the single human reference outside the book (or, in other words, outside the sealed casket, which is the universe of the characters).
The book thereby aims to entrust to the reader the reconstruction of the characters that are psychologically torn apart. Until the work emerges in the reader's hands as if it were his or her re-composition/reconstruction.
It is what allows the "Stain Glass Windows of the Soundproof Room" to be read in any order. Either conventionally or randomly, depending on the reader's preference. This is because the whole of the book will emerge when most of its pages have been read. For aditional information please go to: [url:http://www.osvitraisdasalaaprovadesom.blogspot.com).
