Institutul Cultural Român continuă seria Conferințelor ICR cu prelegerea „Un veac de brutalitate” susținută de prof. univ. dr. Vasile Morar miercuri, 22 mai 2013, ora 18.00, la sediul ICR (Aleea Alexandru nr. 38).
Secolul XX abia s-a încheiat, dar lectia sa încă nu a fost pe deplin învățată. Secolul marilor cuceriri științifice și tehnologice a fost totodată un secol al urii și miniciunii, al ideologiilor criminale și al violenței gratuite, al marginalizării și al stigmatelor, pe scurt – un veac de brutalitate.
Care sunt chipurile agresivității și cum apare aceasta în istorie? Care este resortul violenței pure? Cum se manifestă ura și cum îi cad oamenii pradă? Cum ajung cuvintele să nască violența? Care este soarta democrației într-un secol post-traumatic? Acestea sunt numai câteva dintre temele abordate în cadrul conferinței.
