The nonviolent option today: what is it and why
The nonviolent option today: what is it and why

Summary/Abstract: Written, accepted and used in one word, nonviolence will be approached, in the thematic issue proposed by Polis, as an active creation of a different reality, considering nonviolence a necessity, positive nonviolence an “open doctrine” and “nonviolence of the brave” an option to minimize the violence and to struggle to decrease it in every context. Connected to such a conceptual “control panel”, the studies and articles – composing elements ensuring a multi- perspective of the present thematic issue (from a conquest of violence to microviolence) – accurately synthesize landmarks which define the dynamics between ratios such as violence – nonviolence or influence – influencing. The nodes/perspectives which intersect and involve the present endeavor extract their arguments from the fields of educational politics, cinematography, philosophical, pedagogical, anthropological, cultural, religious, linguistic or literary studies.
