Antispazi. Wilderness Apocalisse Utopia
2015
Neanderthal, revenant, ragazzi selvaggi. Un libro brutto, pieno di brutte storie, di brutte facce. Un anti-Facebook non per raccontare il web-spazzatura ma per seguire le vie carsiche dell’immaginario contemporaneo. Perché circondarci di “mostri” ci ha fatto perdere di vista il grande disegno, e perché una teoria del complotto condita con un po’ di filosofia non può più bastare. Nel complotto è sempre questione di un “loro”, mentre qui i produttori d’immagini e di trappole visuali siamo noi, da utenti ad agenti di collaborazione, da cercatori di spazi liberi ad artigiani conniventi di antispazi. Che cos’è un antispazio? E se l’invenzione dell’Altro fosse anzitutto l’invenzione di un Altrove…
Recensione di La questione mediterranea
2019
Review of the book La questione mediterranea, by Ian Chambers and Marta Cariello, where the mediterranean is like a fluid archive, which is never intended as a collector of dead objects, but unlike traces, removed but never dormant, consisting of cultural practices.
La Kalsa: spazi effimeri e città storica
2013
Il Centro Storico di una città manifesta uno dei paradossi contemporaneo, ospitando eventi efimeri sullo sfondo di una durata storica proiettata verso il futuro dalle tutele legislative. Ciò è particolarmente evidente a Palermo e alla Kalsa in particolare.
Artico nero. La lunga notte dei popoli dei ghiacci
2016
Sette storie da un Artico nero e morente, ambientate in Canada, nella Norvegia settentrionale, in Siberia, in Groenlandia: luoghi dove la distruzione di una cultura sta anticipando gli scenari peggiori. Un’analisi politica e sociale incassata nel modello romanzo-saggio. Un modo nuovo di raccontare e fare antropologia: antropofiction.
Premessa. All'ascolto del mondo

(Un)exhausted Cartographies. Re-living the visuality, aesthetics and politics in contemporary mapping theories and practices
This thesis is concerned with examining the life and deadliness of the map trope in contemporary Human Geography and the various ways maps and mapping have been re-theorized over the past twenty five years. Arguing that there is presently a feeling of exhaustion and disinterest amongst many human geographers in the use of maps given a shift to postmodern and poststructural approaches that decentre maps and mistrust their supposed objectivity, their representational qualities, and use by institutions to justify certain political actions, it tries to relive the attention in the ubiquity and flourishing of contemporary mapping practices by promoting a re-worked post-representational perspectiv…
The Role of Wastewater in Controlling Fluvial Erosion Processes on Clayey Bedrock
2023
In recent decades, fluvial erosion processes in highly anthropized areas are mainly associated with in-stream gravel mining activities or with the presence of artificial reservoirs which have increased the erosive capacity of the river as a consequence of the reduced sediment transport or the modification of the longitudinal profile of the channel. On the other hand, the role of pollutants in the degradation processes of soils with a predominantly clayey component is little known. The present study, through chemical analyses of water and mineralogical–geotechnical analyses of clayey soil samples taken along some river channels in central Italy in correspondence with water treatment pl…
L'abitare in pratica. Esperimenti nel post-sisma di Configno e Capricchia
2021
The seismic sequence that struck central Italy in 2016-2017 triggered intense de- and reterritorialization processes. This paper examines the cases of Capricchia and Configno (Amatrice, RI) where, with the active participation of non-residents owners of second homes, the communities have undergone autonomous processes in order to not abandon the place of residence while waiting for the institutional emergency solutions. Based on the perspective of social geography, this paper intends to analyze the bottom-up reterritorialization processes and open the discussion on the value and legitimacy of intervention of non-resident subjects.
A NEW DIALETICS CENTRE/PERIPHERY: CONSUMPTION PATTERNS AND PRACTICES IN THE SUBURBAN AREAS
2014
This paper deals with the analysis of current changes which have been recently shaping unprecedented urban structures in some suburban areas, due to the emerging of new consumptions spaces. In particular, the work aims at highlighting the effect of urban sprawl on the main Sicilian metropolitan areas, also moulded by the diffusion of the suburban retailing formats, in order to evaluate to what extent these dynamics have been contributing to the configuration of new urban landscapes and unprecedented socio-economic structures, not to mention the support in the process of containing social and economic marginalisation.
