Abstract
The article will attempt to better understand an everyday but mysterious phenomenon, stress. To this end, the article will analyze the most relevant works of Hans Selye, the endocrinologist who coined the concept with the aim of proposing a precise thesis.

Stress is the experience in the world in which work and life are indistinct, which is why it is a category analogous to what W. Benjamin in the early 20th century called ‘shock’.:| File | Dimensione | Formato | |
