Territori di guerra: i nutrimenti dell’ostilità

The author starting with a viewing of the film “The Insult” by Ziad Doueri seizes, from the food for thought that the film proposes, an opportunity to reflect on the individual and collective psychological and emotional legacies that war produces. He then moves on to interrogate Freud’s thinking around the theme of war, the death drive and the mechanisms of mass aggregation. He also emphasizes the relevance of these psychoanalytic concepts as a key to contemporary clinical and historical phenomena.
