A Black Hole in the City - Paperback

**The Porta Palazzo Case: A Research into the Unseen 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 phenomenon at hand—even within the limits of a well-localized territory—with 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 view of a place, precisely where only partial approaches are always and only available, which are not useful for an integrated intervention. The interviewees entrusted their thoughts, which proved to be invaluable 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/)
