Sandra Teroni, "Da una modernità all’altra. Tra Baudelaire e Sartre", Marsilio 2017. Dialogue between Ignazio Cannas and the author

Abstract

Ignazio Cannas, psychoanalyst, has a dialogue with Sandra Teroni on the occasion of the publication of her book Da una modernità all’altra. Tra Baudelaire e Sartre (From one Modernity to another. Between Baudelaire and Sartre - Marsilio 2017). The issues addressed are: an unresolved oscillation of the artist and the human being between the research of a style to give voice to emotions and the active presence in the history; the sense of those that the author calls “the figures of disillusionment” – the escape, the wandering, the foreigner, the shipwreck and the swamp – that can be considered metaphors through which, in the modernity, man tries to represent the problems of his being in relation with  the other and his living in the world.
