%X Cet article se propose d¡¯¨¦tudier une  uvre publi¨¦e en 1991 par la romanci¨¨re anglaise Pat Barker : Regeneration. Ce roman, qui a pour toile de fond la Grande Guerre, ne d¨¦peint ni combats ni sc¨¨nes de la vie des tranch¨¦es. Barker pr¨¦f¨¨re repr¨¦senter toute la dimension agonistique de ce conflit mondial ¨¤ travers la question de la prise en charge des traumatismes de guerre des soldats par l¡¯institution psychiatrique. Ces traumatismes, ayant diverses manifestations psychosomatiques, t¨¦moignent d¡¯une forte tension entre une profonde aversion de l¡¯individu pour l¡¯extr¨ºme violence des affrontements et un appel ¨¤ se conformer ¨¤ une certaine culture de guerre collective fond¨¦e sur un id¨¦al fort de virilit¨¦ martiale et patriotique. Face ¨¤ ces traumatismes, ainsi que Pat Barker le met en lumi¨¨re, la psychiatrie de guerre se r¨¦v¨¨le souvent fort ambigu . En effet, l¡¯institution psychiatrique  uvre en continuit¨¦ avec l¡¯institution militaire, d¨¦sirant imposer un contr le sur les ames autant que sur les corps. Regeneration nous invite donc ¨¤ lire combien les maux/mots de la Grande Guerre ont eu grand peine ¨¤ se faire entendre. This article deals with a novel, entitled Regeneration, published in 1991 by the English female author Pat Barker. This novel, although set against the backdrop of World War One, depicts neither battles nor scenes of everyday life in the trenches. Instead, the agonistic dimension of this world conflict is tackled by Pat Barker through the prism of the way the psychiatric institution dealt with war traumas endured by soldiers, traumas of the body and of the mind. These traumas, causing a variety of psychosomatic symptoms, reveal a powerful tension between a deep individual aversion to the extreme violence of combat and an appeal to conform to some collective culture of war rooted in a strong ideal of soldierly and patriotic manliness. Wartime psychiatry, as Barker highlights, often turns out to be very ambiguous when confronted with such traumas. As a matter of fact, there is some continuity between the military institution and the psychiatric institution, as both intend to impose control over the soldiers¡¯ minds as much as over their bodies. Therefore, Regeneration invites us to acknowledge how difficult it was for the sufferings experienced during World War One to be voiced, and also to be listened to.
