A Black Hole in the City - eBook

**The Porta Palazzo Case: A Research into the Hidden Aspects of Turin** Social psychology predominantly deals with the relationship between the individual and the group. This book references the work of Kurt Lewin, specifically Field Theory, which has allowed the study of the ongoing phenomenon—even within the limits of a well-localized territorial snapshot—from a holistic perspective, without stopping at an analysis of the parts separately. The influence of the psychological field on behavior is such that if there is no change in the field, there will be no changes in individual behavior. The volume starts from the desire to reconstruct a holistic vision of a place, precisely where only partial approaches have always been taken, which are not useful for an integrated intervention. The interviewees entrusted their thoughts, which proved to be extremely valuable and capable of inducing new reasoning that allowed the authors to go far beyond the common sense that the mass media—by forcing the narrative of ongoing events—offer as a narration of a place, its complexities, and the dynamics that pervade it, highlighting especially the most detrimental aspects. As always, it is necessary to access things in a way that is not superficial and—beyond that—especially not partial. *Number of pages: 428* Author: [Franco Quesito](https://www.nepedizioni.com/franco-quesito/) [Oriana Bocchia](https://www.nepedizioni.com/oriana-bocchia/)
