Included within our project zero Bakarzain: Unwanted loneliness and care, the book “Soledades: Una Cartografía para nuestro tiempo” by Melania Moscoso and Txetxu Ausín will be launched in BBK Kuna next Tuesday 25 January.
Loneliness has been defined as a silent pandemic which already affects one in four people in industrialised countries and has a negative impact on physical and mental health, and on the quality of life of the people who suffer from it. Enforced or unwanted loneliness is understood as being the subjective feeling of discrepancy between the social relations a person has, and those he/she would want to have. This unwanted loneliness consists of experiencing the lack of the quantity and quality of bonds with others (emotional detachment) and social isolation and the lack of social networks in the immediate environment, and causes grief, fear, anguish or sadness.
