Il fenomeno dell’hate speech e la cultura digitale. La scuola degli affetti come bene comune

Abstract

In today's society, the spread of digital culture pushes young people to be increasingly active producers of content to be shared on the web. The offensive contents conveyed on the Web fall into the category called hate speech, developed by American jurisprudence to indicate a set of words and speeches whose purpose is the spread of hatred towards of a person or a group based on certain characteristics such as ethnicity, sexual orientation, belonging to a religion. The reflection that we want to pursue is the need for the construction of a training course that addresses young people to understand the importance the educational value of reflexivity. This category, placing itself as a properly human process based on a continuous negotiation of the self with the external world, today more than ever it must be addressed to the protection of the concept of the common good, moving in the pedagogical logic of proximity.
