L'Agorà - The Emozioni Blog

Some conversations draw us further apart; in others, we feel less alone, even when we disagree. The editorial team revisits the experiences of Andrea Tripodi and Anissa Boschetti and the conversation between Giorgio Marzocchi and Pier Luigi Lattuada to accompany the transition from Conflict to Love.

A report, two offices, the same question. Years later, Andrea Tripodi looks back on a morning in Kyiv and on two different ways of exercising authority, listening, and making room for disagreement.

Giorgio Marzocchi has worked in civil and commercial mediation for around fifteen years. Pier Luigi Lattuada approaches conflict from a therapeutic and transpersonal perspective. Some questions are shared; others follow their respective fields of experience.

A friend feels excluded. Anissa Boschetti tries to understand her without giving up her own perspective. But how necessary is it, really, to make peace?

The war ends, power falters, an embrace leaves someone outside. Five works, with Tolkien as a counterpoint, ask what remains after conflict.

From the threshold to the antagonist: what happens when something breaks the balance and forces a story to change shape?

A first meditation, two eyelids that keep reopening, a dissonance impossible to ignore. Olga Corti tells how a single sentence moved her attention away from the problem and made another possibility available.

On the table lay the proofs of a book for young readers, beside the figures the work needed if it was ever to reach them. Between them, two people trying, from different vantage points, to protect the essence and purpose of the book; in that effort, however, they had stopped seeing each other.

Not everything that opposes us destroys us. Sometimes it is friction itself that opens a passage: a path into the word problem, from próblēma — that which is placed before us.

The story of how the new site came to be, of the invisible work that made it possible, and of the promise that comes before any page: to answer for the time our readers choose to entrust to us.

An afternoon with Marco Silvio Jäggi: the founder of Emozioni tells how a project born almost by chance became a shared space around emotions.
