Pier Head Liverpool Depature Times

Otherness:

are born in relation to an otherness that slowly begin to recognize it as such. Exit the symbiosis and the narcissism makes us distinguish between an inside and outside, between I and not me. There is a push that makes us grow in the knowledge that we must relate and compare themselves with each other, but there is also a regressive pull it takes to return to narcissism and symbiosis. This drive can invest in the regressive group, group with which we measure our self-esteem and c'identifichiamo: then we begin to establish clear boundaries between what is similar to us and what is different. If this boundary is to say "I am that!" is a useful boundary is the boundary of identity, which needs to develop, the comparison with the other. Sometimes, however, when the identity is weak and comes the fear of getting lost or being invaded in the other, this becomes a border fence, where the enemy is more threatening, another self with whom there can be no meeting. And 'the phenomenon of "narcissistic cohesion": the measure of one's being group and its strength lies in opposing other groups.
In a cultural climate poisoned by fear, remain open to the relationship and a comparison with something else becomes a difficult exercise c'interroga constantly on our stereotypes and our prejudices. Unlike wants to be a space in which to develop a reflection on this fundamental dimension of existence, the otherness, in the belief that learning to relate to than the other constitutes the only prospect for growth as human beings. This difference may decline in several other ways: the difference in gender, ethnic difference, the difference of the disabled. These are the subjects of which it intends to address this space, weaving together the knowledge of the humanities: philosophy, pedagogy, psychology, ethology, anthropology, sociologia.Benvenuti!
