Il saggio prende in esame le narrazioni informali e volontarie che operatori socio-sanitari ed educativi, volontari e “utenti” dei servizi del Comune di Reggio Emilia hanno affidato a lettere, relazioni professionali, diari di lavoro o personali. Si tratta di pagine che raccontano incontri, impregnate di aspettative, emozioni intense e spesso dolorose. Il filo conduttore che attraversa l’analisi è la famiglia (d’origine o elettiva), con cui ogni storia ha un legame profondo e imprescindibile. Si tratta di vicende che descrivono la fragilità della famiglia interiore o reale, l’ideale di famiglia desiderata o l’esperienza negata; raccontano di famiglie affidatarie, di figli attesi e mai nati o caduti in esperienze di disperazione (tossicodipendenza, disturbi alimentari, prostituzione). Genitori e figli che faticosamente stanno cercando di incontrarsi e di dare vita a un progetto comune, operatori e volontari che li affiancano in questo compito delicato.

The common thread running through the analysis is the family (of origin or choice) each story has a deep and vital bond with. These events describe the fragility of the inner or actual family, the ideal of a desired family or A denied family experience. They tell of foster families, of children expected or never born or fallen into experiences of despair (drug addiction, eating disorders, prostitution). Parents and children who are trying hard to meet and create the same project, caring professionals and volunteers who support them in this task.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
