Sulla vulnerabilità istituita: il doppio vincolo della soggettivazione tra affidamento e riconoscimento

The focus of the paper is the distance between the experience of vulnerability lived by all the people in their social practices and the social conditions of vulnerability resulting from the institution of legal orders. The social practices of mutual trust and recognition among social actors become a neutral object of legal norms; nevertheless only from these practices of entrustment/recognition can arise the subject’s difficult path of emancipatory autonomy. In this sense, legal and political institution are grounded in - and preceded by - ethics and politics of recognition of human otherness.
