ABSTRACT
To understand what happens in places like ‘projects’ or ‘housing developments’ or certain kinds of schools, places which bring together people who have nothing in common and force them to live together, either in mutual ignorance and incomprehension or else in latent or open conflict – with all the mutual suffering this entails is not enough to explain each point of view separately. All of them must be brought together as they are in reality, not to relativize them into an infinite number of cross-cutting images, but, quite to the contrary, through simple juxtaposition, to bring everything that results when different or antagonistic visions of the world confront each other – that is, in certain cases, the tragic consequences of making incompatible points of view confront each other, where no concession or compromise is possible because each one of them is equally founded in social reason.
