The words of peace

location Auditorium Foro Boario
Paid ticket
price € 3

Is peace still conceivable? In a time when war seems to have returned to the everyday language of politics and the collective imagination, talking about peace represents a radical and counter-current gesture. Roberto Cornelli and Adolfo Ceretti (For a Possible Peace: Responsibility, Justice, and Reparation in Times of War, Feltrinelli) explore the meaning of responsibility, wounds, and memory. Peace pushes us to mend the fragments of a torn social body: societies riven by ethical, religious, and political fractures that are increasingly difficult to synthesize. Hope must be realized, because peace is not a naive utopia but a work on limits: of force, power, and hatred. And then there is always a possible peace in every war. Rocco Olita.
