La patria degli altri

What is the role of fear in culture and how do politics change andmanipulate affections? Where does fear come from and how does its meaning, tied as it always is to a context, change in different historical and social situations? How can art become analysis through its own work? This essay proposes to analyse in depth the “fear of the other.” Muntadas’ work On Translation: Fear / Miedo is a good example of how art today can be understood as the practice of looking at feelings, emotions, experiences, not to represent them, but to investigate their roots and junctions.
