Abstract

Since few years, 'amateur historian' activities involved by remembrance of First World War (genealogical researches, exhumations, places and bodies identifications...) seem to converge to a restoring attempt of descendant ties. This new interest concerns the influence of the Great War about genealogical principle. Especially violent, this war has raised terrifying physical and psychological injuries which has been hard for men to return back within civil life. Women and men have been reshuffled paternal function to children. While the children, used to live without their father, has been redefined. That is how these subjective and societal transformations have destabilized both the organization as well as familial intimacy and undermining paternal status in his concrete and symbolic dimension. Today it concerns to loom back up the Father principle. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2016 APA, all rights reserved)
