(2016) Paradoxes of conflicts, Dordrecht, Springer.
The hypothesis underlying the reflections contained in this paper concerns conflict viewed as closely linked to the Other. For this reason the focus is on the processes of construction/recognition of the Other. The constructs of intersubjectivity, immediacy of perceiving/feeling the Other, and the body as an ambivalent unit, are used to this end. We analyze the contextual dynamics that facilitate implicit knowledge, which regulate somehow the quality of intersubjective relations during their development. It is the very quality of feeling the Other emotionally with all its undertones that organizes a more or less deep openness to dialogue so as to tackle the conflict in a creative way. The theoretical assumptions concern the so-called second person in the theory of mind (Reddy 2010), the construct of intersubjectivity in its neurobiological and dynamic aspects (Ammanniti and Gallese 2014; Rizzolatti and Sinigaglia 2006), as well as Stern's concepts of now moment and implicit knowledge (2005).
