“Pugni chiusi – Bullismo: punti di vista, non-storie, impressioni, significati. Soluzioni? Un contributo a cambiare, per cambiare”
Moderator: Simone Cosimi
Speakers: Ezio Alessio Gensini, Leonardo Santoli, Anna Vaccarelli, Sara Simona Racalbuto
The publication aims to raise awareness of the different points of view (diversity understood as interests and activities of the authors of the texts present) on the “word/problem”: bullying. The book contains articles by journalists, along with “points of view” by painters and cartoonists, bloggers, jurists, scientific researchers, artists and representatives of many other professional aspects of public life. Each essay is preceded and followed by artistic contributions by the curators. Opinions, seen from different points of view, with a single purpose: to give the floor to people sensitive to the problem, against a scourge that has undermined generations of the young and not so young. Bullying, and today’s cyber-bullying, are in fact phenomena that, although studied by different disciplines, are difficult to define in a single definition. In the words of the curators, this should be an emotional contribution, as well as social and supportive: “a contribution to change, for change”.
