Description
Summary:Imagining the Evil. The essay aims to walk along the way to the symbolic richness of Evil, starting from a critique of the Spaltung. Contemporary malign manifestations will be explored with the aid of Durand’s coincidentia oppositorum hermeneutics, in order to overcome the limits imposed by Modernity on Good and Evil. Special attention will be given to the microscopic everyday processes on which Simmel built his sociology upon. This last issue will be better understood through an analysis of the web television series Bloodline, where the evil manifests itself as a formative process.
