Abstract
The tension between liberty and security and the tension between security and vulnerability alternated as defining elements of the condition we have been experiencing and enduring in these most recent months – and there are no signs which foreshadow any imminent change. Such conflictual tensions, which do severely affect the socio-political resilience of our democracies in such conditions of enduring uncertainty, do leave burining scars over our bodies, which are the material and symbolic junction of our (not only personal) identity. This process clearly impacts our own perception of time – which we perceive either as dilated or squeezed – as well as our condition of waiting, both with respect to our subjective perception and to our collective one, in such a way as to jeopardize – or at least as to severely weaken – the endurance of our contemporary societies.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
