Ha scritto David Le Breton, in un saggio di qualche anno fa, che «la tortura è la pratica dell’orrore a tempo pieno». Una pratica crudele e disumana che richiama alla mente mondi arcaici, scenari premoderni, contrassegnati da una violenza e una crudeltà senza fine.
Abstract
Torture is an extreme manifestation of the inhumanity of human beings. A cruel practice that we believed had disappeared because it had been condemned to be buried forever in the dark depths of history. However, in reality, as evidenced by Donatella Di Cesare in her recent book entitled Tortura, it has remained a constant presence in human history that threatens to trample on the rights and dignity of human beings while undermining the pillars of our democracies.
