In-opera. Forme e alterità

Abstract
This paper aims to reflect on the close relationship between the humanities and
ethics that is in the foundations common to both law and literature.
I will take my cue from the theme proposed in the third session of the conference
dedicated to “transitions”, to introduce the issue of otherness, which is the focus
of my intervention.
Understood as the “relationship with the other,” otherness is the problem of the
ethics that bets on the law, and is also the theme that more deeply involves literary
and artistic works, which entertain and require a constant dialogue with the
“other.”
Can the research approach that we are focusing on – Law and Literature, or better
Law and Humanities – help us to regain the ability to live this relationship? Can
it lead us again towards the paths of human complexity?
