The purpose of this dissertation is to reflect on the dimensions of trauma and time, the importance of their intertwining in the fabric of the freudian work, and their repercussions in contemporary psychoanalytic practice. The theme of trauma emerges in the freudian theory from the earliest writings but loses prominence in favor of the theory of fantasy in the etiology of neuroses, reappearing with full force in 1920 in connection with the death drive. In our analysis, we emphasize this return of the notion of trauma in 1920, with the essay Beyond the Pleasure Principle. During this period, freudian theory began to be guided by a perspective of individual and group subjectivity, whose functioning is governed by a beyond the pleasure principle. This moment, also called the second topography, has two pivotal points: traumatic neuroses and the death drive, which differ from the investigative bases that were prevalent until then. When we expand the question of trauma to the contemporary scene, we wonder where this notion fits today. In the current psychoanalytic debate, we observe an increase in configurations of traumatic origin, called borderline cases, which are highly relevant for the field as they point to the presence of a traumatic basis. However, defining what is at stake in the new contemporary configurations presents itself as a complex challenge that implies working with the relationship with trauma and other dimensions, such as time. In this direction, borderline cases represent a path through which another dimension of temporality appears, which resonates with the time of trauma. It is therefore proposed to investigate the notion of time in order to understand that in psychoanalysis there are not only one but several forms of expression of temporality.
