The ethic of monsters
Abstract
The representations around complex personalities, perhaps physically deformed, psychologically deviant or of "cruel" behaviours, have contributed to the construction of certain imaginaries about those "monsters" in order to try to keep us away from their actions and thoughts, so as not to “infect” us. As if the others were not also, in some way, "monsters."
The fear of what is strange, what is different, what comes out of the imposed "normality", makes us behave like monsters in front of different people, be it because of their physicality, their religion, their ideology, their sexual options or any other attribute that makes them dissimilar.
