Passivity Generation

More about the book

Exploring the interplay between trauma and human rights, this book delves into how everyday language shapes our understanding and responses to violations. Irene Bruna Seu utilizes psychosocial methods to analyze the emotional, cognitive, and ideological factors that contribute to passivity in the face of injustice. By examining the psychodynamics behind individual (un)responsiveness, the author reveals the defense mechanisms that often justify inaction, providing a compassionate perspective on the complexities of human behavior in the context of suffering.
