Viviamo completamente immersi e, spesso, sommersi da narrazioni di tutti i tipi che hanno come scopo precipuo quello di provocare un comportamento predisposto; in genere d’acquisto o di adesione a un indirizzo propagandistico. In questo contesto, il mito, che ha avuto da sempre un compito formativo, sembra essere spiazzato, superato proprio dalla volontà di creare confusione tra criteri di valutazione delle realtà plurime che attraversiamo. Dalla mitologia e dalle sue risonanze inventive, si può ancora ripartire per riconoscere ciò che, essendo dichiaratamente frutto di immaginazione, non può imbrogliare e per distinguere ciò che, invece, tende, dolosamente, ad abolire le differenze tra le somiglianze in modo da poter “spacciare” il falso come vero. Si tratta di un compito nel quale i processi formativi sono chiamati a impegnarsi e a scegliere quale “paesaggio sonoro” vivere e far vivere.

Abstract
We live completely immersed and, often, submerged in all kinds of narratives whose main purpose is to provoke a predisposed behaviour; usually the purpose is to push us to buy something or adhere to a propaganda direction. In this context, the myth, which has always had a formative task, seems to be displaced, overtaken precisely by the desire to create confusion among the criteria for evaluating the multiple realities we encounter. From mythology and its inventive resonances, one can still start to recognise what, being an avowed figment of the imagination, cannot cheat and distinguish what, on the other hand, maliciously tends to abolish differences between similarities so as to be able to “pass off” the false as true. This is a task in which formative processes are called upon to engage and choose which “soundscape” to experience and bring to life.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
