La crisi tra mito e realtà. Esercizio di decostruzione felice (original) (raw)

The Crisis is on everyone's lips. Like a pandemonium from with nothing or no one is safe: individuals increasingly victims of working and existential precariousness; families failed, demolished or simply depressed, beset by chronic financial instability and poverty, accompanied by a fatal impossibility to construct an Us; society, devastated by a rampant atomism; entire nations reduced to poverty; an ecosystem unable to rebel, the predestinated victim of insatiable instinct and a battlefield of a new form of competition. Yet, in forsaken hidden regions of the earth, in the silence of the media, ones breaths an air of optimism, anger diminished, the concept of democracy is enriched with new values, And even in the Belpaese, Italy, those who in the past were well off, are now even better off, or, at least, they believe they are, as apparently proven by profit. At the same time, they struggle to remain firm, in acrobatic equilibrium, on the crumbling plank of a delirium fiction, obstinately following the old well-trodden itineraries, as though they were the only ones possible, blinded by the myths imposed by the logic of the profit and deaf to any hint as to possible alternatives. In this article, we draw from the well.tried resources of critical thinking to propose an exercise of deconstruction of the rhetoric of the crisis in ten stages, corresponding to as many positive aspects of the present historical phase.
