Per un'immaginazione politica nell'era digitale. Populismo e crisi della democrazia liberale

The triumph of liberal democracy coincides with its progressive vulnerability, visible in the economic and social inequalities, in the global expansion of populist language and communication. This paper explores some causes, reflecting on the impact of the digital revolution on human beings. In fact, the breathlessness of liberal democracies is the mirror of a lack of perspective, especially political, that even individuals are experiencing in the digital age. To see and feel in perspective and depth, when everything is lost in the details, in the shower of images and information, the individual must do exercises of political imagination. Without imagination, politics loses the ability to observe reality from different points of view.
