Summary

Insults are a part of our everyday lives. But, why do we insult one another? Why do they hurt the recipient? How can we overcome the tendency to offend others? This book is a comprehensive research on a phenomenon whose importance is greater than we realize. The author shows the role that insults play in relationships and social dynamics. He exposes how, over time, culture has faced this form of aggression by codes of politeness and prohibitions. The book also includes the mechanisms by which it is possible to face these insults and keep them from causing pain.

Los insultos forman parte del tejido de la vida cotidiana. Pero ¿por qué nos insultamos? ¿Por qué los insultos lastiman a quien los recibe? ¿Se puede hacer algo para evitar o reducir el dolor que provocan? ¿Cómo podemos superar la tendencia a ofender a los demás? Este libro constituye una amplia investigación en torno a un fenómeno cuya importancia es mayor de lo que suponemos. El autor muestra el papel que desempeñan los insultos dentro de las relaciones humanas y su función en el seno de las dinámicas sociales. Expone cómo, a lo largo del tiempo, la cultura ha hecho frente a esta forma de agresión mediante códigos de cortesía y prohibiciones. También se refiere a los mecanismos mediante los cuales es posible encarar los improperios para evitar que nos hagan daño.
