How To Cancel Recurring Xbox Live

Come parlare di identità?

Recently, a PhD student in semiotics - that thank you very much for providing the important insights - he wrote in an e-mail requesting information on the activities of the center Zebra. After being sent some practical information, such as the link to the website of the Centre for Studies on the Languages \u200b\u200bof Identity (Zebra, that for those who ask if they are here: http://www.unibg.it/struttura/struttura.asp?cerca=csli_intro) has placed the questions that I consider of great interest and I'd like to start a discussion on this blog which, unfortunately, there has not been:

As a literary approach to the issue of / identity is different from a semiotic?
In that sense we talk about language identity? These are issues of mediology? We wonder how a certain language that determines the identity of the talks?
How to map the question of identity? It is rather difficult to do, as psychologists and philosophers to the neuroscientists talk about it all ...

Apro quindi la discussione, sia ai membri del centro Zebra, sia a tutti coloro che vogliono dare un contributo.

Plans To Build A Fireplace Mantel

Identità e violenza

"Il mio primo contatto con l'omicidio avvenne all'età di undici anni. Era il 1944, nel corso degli scontri tra induisti e musulmani che hanno preceduto l'indipendenza indiana. Kader Mia era un musulmano, e per gli spietati criminali indù che lo avevano aggredito quella era l'unica identità importante. La violenza settaria oggi non è meno rozza. È una grossolana brutalità che poggia su una grande confusione concettuale riguardo alle identità degli individui, capace di trasformare esseri umani multidimensionali in creature a un'unica dimensione."

Amartya Sen, premio Nobel per l’economia nel 1998, in questo nuovo saggio sui temi attualissimi dell’identità e della violenza, ci esorta a considerare “l’inaggirabile natura plurale delle nostre identità” e a non brutalizzare la nostra stessa esperienza di vita personale comprimendola dentro contenitori di identità uniche. Perché, secondo il rettore del Trinity College di Cambridge, l’imposizione di una sola appartenenza, sia essa una religione o una civiltà, è divenuta troppo spesso il preludio all’esercizio della violenza e del settarismo belligerante.
“E’ palese – scrive Sen da vero pensatore cosmopolita (è un indiano home in Cambridge and Harvard) - that each of us belongs to many groups: the same person may be, without the slightest contradiction, "of American citizenship, of Caribbean origin, with African ancestry, a Christian, liberal, woman, vegetarian , Marathon, historical, teacher, novelist, feminist, heterosexual supporters of gay rights and lesbian, lover of the theater, a militant environmentalist with a passion for tennis, jazz musician. " On the other hand, argues Sen, the classifications that it would split solely on the basis of a religion or a civilization passed off as dominant, not only deny this plurality being of our men and women, but they forget also our common humanity. And in so doing trigger a spiral of violence, oppression and wars in the name of tradition, actual "abuse of identity" that is imposed on the collective rights of individuals. So
"identity can also kill, kill with transport" in the sense that the attribution of an identity organized can pave the way for persecution and loss. But this world torn by religious terrorists, ethnic fanaticism, the integral of the West, which seems inexorably prisoner of its own constraints and directed toward the practice of confrontation and violence, can still correct its course. Maybe sharing the Universal Declaration of Human Rights of 1945. Word of Amartya Sen.
