Problematizzare la "cancel culture": una sfida per le Interculture Postdigitale

“Cancel culture” refers to the tendency to remove from public memory and public space individuals, institutions, or groups accused of discrimination against certain categories, usually minorities. It has become an ambiguous expression—or an accusatory injunction—increasingly widespread in global public and media spheres, intersecting with contemporary “culture wars” and even influencing educational policies.\r\n“Problematizing ‘cancel culture’: A challenge for postdigital Intercultures”, edited by Stefano Pasta and Davide Zoletto, brings together contributions from the field of pedagogy grounded in the concrete “terrains” where these conflicts unfold: social media, cultural heritage, university contexts, and media productions for children. The volume offers an initial mapping of the emerging pedagogical research field of postdigital Intercultures. The resulting debate concerns a project for the future, one that is not conceived as the endless continuation of the past. This project, when confronted with difference, cannot relinquish the search for a synthesis between rootedness in the particular and openness to the universal.
