Ebook format Pdf readable on these devices:

Starting from the constitutive incompleteness of the human, the pathways of subjectivization and humanisation through the work of culture are analysed, with the associated dehumanising risks that constantly resurface in conditions of historical and cultural crises. Forced migration, pandemics and war are analysed as «traumatic contexts» that configure ‘extreme’ anthropological situations capable of profoundly influencing the construction of subjectivities and processes of cultural transmission. In particular, the psychic and anthropological dimension of risk that emerges in experiences of relations with the foreigner and the enemy is examined, phantasmatic places as well as historical configurations in which the human/inhuman interweaving becomes particularly evident.
KEY WORDS: Border, cultural work, foreigner, human/inhuman, stranger, trauma.
