SUMMARY:Book Presentation: Otherness in a Fragmented World
DESCRIPTION:Presentation of the book\, 'Otherness in a Fragmented World'\, 
 written by Michela Gecele and published by Routledge. \n\nKarina Nemcova\,
  Billy Desmond\, and the group of founders of Ig-fest will discuss with th
 e author and with all the participants.\n\n"This book explores a key theme
  both for humanity and for psychotherapy—how we can understand ourselves
  as a web of relational connections within the wider world that shapes us 
 all.\n\nGrounds are the often invisible scenery of our life. They are all 
 that concern us as human beings—the sum total of relationships\, events\
 , all that happens and has happened\, our conquests\, and our connections 
 together with what is unfinished and what has yet to emerge. Moving within
  a horizon of phenomenology and Gestalt therapy\, the author explores how 
 we are continuously built and kept alive through our unceasing engagement 
 with otherness—whether cultural\, social\, linguistic\, gender or otherw
 ise\, and so how humanity is intrinsically made by otherness\, novelty\, a
 nd challenging experiences that transform us in a way we can never anticip
 ate. At the same time\, we also define ourselves by identifying with certa
 in groups which become part of who we see ourselves as being. Her aim is t
 o describe and connect the forms of suffering and the creative adjustments
  found today with the grounds from which they emerge\, rather than with th
 e figures that stand out more visibly and can blind us." (From Routledge W
