After Hegel, Who Are We Going to Spit On? – Summary

The contest had no limits of gender, age or language and the result was an incredible set of experiences, emotions and analyses. Words with the power to deconstruct and create, leading to a sometimes ironic destruction of stereotypes.

It was decided to birth imaginary identities such as Elena Lonzi and Carla Ferrante who converse with each other.

In some texts the roles of mother, daughter, woman have been challenged, stirring the breaking of chains.

The texts, albeit originating from different hands, as a whole appear as a colourful puzzle capable of inspiring and moving both those who see themselves in what they read and those who, despite not being involved, are struck by this way of writing reality.

Prose and poetry alternate and merge into a single stream of consciousness.
Languages that communicate without worrying about the limit of misunderstanding, shaping «the spit» that thanks to them comes to life in several forms.

Scrolling through the document reveals sleepless nights, psychological and physical violence, personal stories that flow into the collective imagination.

Stories that speak, albeit with different languages, of similar experiences, of realities, people whose bodies have crossed streets, houses, fears, emotions.

A manifesto that beckoned to write, restart and a new unexpected beginning.

A laboratory whose peculiar feature was the sharing of a common intent rather than a physical space: to escape a stereotypical narrative to rewrite one's own, together.

It is perhaps then viewing the collection of texts as a whole that we can also grasp the answer to the question itself.

Not in the content of each individual text, but the organic vision of diversity.

To date we spit on stereotyped models that cage and destroy and we do so through the spit of multiple subjects, just as multiple languages, themes and forms granted life to this experience.
