Abstract

Attack on Vulnerability is a diary of civil and personal resistance, a map to orient oneself when fear takes space and words become weapons. Giorgia Butera crosses the fragile territories of public exposure, verbal and symbolic violence, inside and outside social media, to restore centrality to human value.

The book is both denunciation and stance: against the abuse of gazes, against the normalization of hatred, against all forms of oppression that affect those perceived as vulnerable. But it is also a political gesture in the highest sense of the term, because it calls for individual and collective responsibility, and invites us to rethink social ties, communication, respect.

A highly topical narrative essay, which intercepts central themes of the contemporary debate: symbolic violence, language, rights, digital responsibility, human dignity. Ideal for readers interested in social, educational and civil issues, for public presentations, meetings with the author and in-depth courses on human rights and communication.

Carolyn Smith, Editors of the Foreword for 'Attack on Vulnerability'.

'Giorgia Butera, I met her first through her written voice than in person: a clear, courageous voice, without frills. I approached this book as a cancer patient, with the caution of someone who knows that certain pages can reopen wounds. I closed it with the gratitude of those who found company, lucidity and a concrete invitation to breathe harder.

'Attack on Vulnerability' is many things at once: a diary of resistance, a map to orient oneself when fear darkens, a clear denunciation against the violence of looks and words (inside and outside social media), and finally a political gesture in the highest sense: putting human value back at the center'.
