Abstract

[automatically translated] Starting with a provocative reflection on authoritarian thought and a careful reading of the relationship between freedom and security analyzed in the optics of power, interventions by Alessandra Dino, Franco Di Maria, Giovanni Fiandaca, Antonio Ingroia, Guido Lo Forte, Gaetano Paci and Roberto Scarpinato offer food for thought for reasoning about pressing current issues. Scholars and judges - each in the specificity of its role - addressing the controversial issue of a world where it is increasingly difficult to find space for expression of subjectivity preserving capacity and choice, within a stringent network of relationships, a scenario that looks increasingly interconnected and globalized, in which the definition of "deviance" is more often the result of a strategic decision to operate forms of exclusion and social control. Along the fine line that separates "normality" and "deviance", the authors explore ambiguous and elusive areas of social marginality, places where violence is tolerated and exhibited in an attempt to find new forms and instruments of interpretation of reality.
