En esta lectura del relato “Boxeador” (2007) de Carlos Wynter (Panamá, 1971) analizo lo inefable a partir de dos nociones interrelacionadas: lo onírico y el doble. El marco teórico de este trabajo comprende lo expuesto por Sigmund Freud en su artículo “Lo ominoso”. De manera complementaria trabajaré con lo propuesto por Otto Rank en su libro El doble y lo planteado por Luisa Valenzuela en Escritura y secreto. Lo significativo de este relato, en torno al tema del doble, es que el autor construye su historia fuera de la modalidad narrativa de lo fantástico. Carlos Wynter prioriza en su texto una exploración a la psique del personaje y se centra en las represiones del pasado que acosan al sujeto

Summary: Older adults consistently have the highest rates of suicide in most societies. Despite the paucity of studies until recently, research has shown that suicides in later life are best understood as a multidimensional event. An especially neglected area of research is the psychological/psychiatric study of personality factors in the event. This paper outlines one comprehensive model of suicide and then raises the question: Is such a psychiatric/psychological theory applicable to all suicides in the elderly? To address the question, I discuss the case of Sigmund Freud; raise the topic of suicide and/or dignified death in the terminally ill; and examine suicide notes of the both terminally ill and nonterminally ill elderly. I conclude that, indeed, greater study and theory building are needed into the “suicides” of the elderly, including those who are terminally ill.
