The lecture will focus on the intricate and complex relationship between sacrifice and history. We will see emerge from this confrontation a novel manner of thinking the singularity of historical events and, indeed, of reformulating what is meant by temporality and alterity, commemoration and forgiveness, truth and justice.
These observations will, in this sense, propose original considerations on the incessant return of historical events in our present lived experience and further reflections on how to face the future.
