Città e campagna: contaminazioni
2013
Il saggio affronta il questione del rapporto tra la città e campagna sia dal punto concettuale che operativo. La questione è quindi analizzata a partire da fonti letterarie e artistiche, oltre che considerando progetti di architettura. In apertura viene definita la differenza tra campagna e natura, nozioni spesso non chiaramente distinte. A partire dalla notazione del carattere eminente artificiale dell'intervento agricolo, il saggio considera anche le assonanze tra architettura e agricoltura. Nella seconda parte si affronta il tema del rapporto fisico effettivo della città e della campagna. Vengono pertanto chiamate in causa le diverse forme, spesso molte diverse tra loro, attraverso le qu…
La ri-composizione del territorio / The ricomposition of territory
2017
Il saggio, inserito nel volume di sintesi della ricerca PRIN 2009 (“Dalla campagna urbanizzata alla : le norme compositive dell’architettura nel territorio dei centri minori”) presenta alcune aspetti fondamentali del lavoro svolto dall’unità di ricerca locale dell’Università degli Studi di Palermo (responsabile prof.. A. Margagliotta) che ha studiato l’attraverso interno Palermo-Agrigento e il ruolo dell’infrastruttura stradale in rapporto alla questione dei centri minori e della campagna. In particolare il saggio mette approfondisce il tema dei luoghi dell’attraversamento e il ruolo delle infrastrutture; la questione della la campagna e della sua capacità rigenerante nei confronti della re…
The Countryside and City in Spain at the End of the Century: A Simmelian Reading of Pío Baroja’s El árbol de la ciencia (1911)
2013
The aim of this paper is to reconstruct the dialectical relationship between the countryside and the city —taking the case of Madrid as an example— and in turn Spain at the end of the 19th century from the reading of Pío Baroja’s novel El árbol de la ciencia (1911). To do this, I try to locate the reader in the historical context of the period to then proceed with the analysis of the Barojian view of the relationship between the countryside and the city, taking the personal trajectory of Andrés Hurtado, the autobiographical main character of this novel, as a paradigmatic case.
Textiles in blue : production, consumption and material culture in rural areas in early-nineteenth century Finland
2021
The article focuses on masculine consumption patterns and the production and dyeing of textiles in rural Finland in the early nineteenth century. It maintains that the rural consumption of textiles as well as individual choices and tastes evolved, and our selected examples of males’ wardrobes demonstrate that contemporary styles were followed. The article targets an era that can be regarded as a watershed: this was a time when mass production was in its infancy and craft production and self-sufficiency were still relevant to household economies. As the wealth of certain groups, particularly landed peasantry, increased, they began among other things to purchase and wear clothes dyed with imp…
Distances, espaces et représentations (une revue)
1990
L'objet de cet article est de donner un aperçu de la manière dont la littérature traite ce rapport entre la forme de la distance et les propriétés de l'espace. Il existe un grand nombre de travaux dans ce domaine et, malgré le volume de ce texte, nous ne pouvons en rendre compte complètement. La section 1 présente les formes de distances les plus connues et montre les déformations qu'elles impliquent par rapport à l'espace réel, observé, ainsi que par rapport à sa représentation la plus commune: l'espace euclidien muni d'une distance euclidienne. La section 2 porte le débat au niveau des modèles de l'économie spatiale. Il y a plusieurs façons de modéliser une même réalité: la représentation…
La nuova retorica dello spazio nell'elegia erotica ovidiana
2008
A study on the symbolic connotations of 'internal' and 'external' space (including urban places, travels and trips, the countryside, Egypt etc.) in Ovid's Amores, Ars Amatoria and Remedia Amoris. In this respect, Ovid is very innovative with respect to Tibullus and Propertius.
Contrary motion. From countryside to city, from city to countryside
2015
Within the general strategy of the projects coordinated by Sandro Rolla and Marina Tornatora, the project of “Land” thematic pavilion is settled on the edge of Piacenza south expansion. The main idea is that, operating by meaningful fragments, the specific intervention is able to generate long term and wide-range transformations, overcrossing the specific area limits and having an effect on a territory scale. It focuses on the main issue of the peri-urban space, whose ambiguity has been at the center of contemporary architectural debate. This is approached by the design of the soil, in order to tie up areas of the city and make them the enhancement key of the future urban development. The p…
Appropriateness between physical space and multicentre economic space in localization problems
1991
Location models are constructed in mathematical economic spaces whereas people locate themselves in real or physical spaces. If economic spaces are multicentric ones, their properties are different from physical spaces. We say that these two spaces are not symmetric. Hence, mathematical location model can lead to an optimal location solution which doesn't' exist in physical space. But, if we admit that an optimal location solution owns more or less to a function of demand of location, we can resolve this question. Then, fuzzy demand functions of location are defined in multicentric spaces and an illustration of this concept is presented.
How information shapes cities : theory and facts
1999
The primary aim of this paper is to show that « information matters » in shaping space and cities. This statement has both theoretical and empirical foundations. Theoretical reasoning, especially on the basis of economic geography modelling, is able to provide consistent and realistic explanations for the agglomeration of information using activities including producer services and R&D. Empirical testing of these models raises a number of methodological problems. Nevertheless, many empirical studies have been conducted into the local character of the diffusion of tacit information. Over the last ten years, much progress has been made, and initial difficulties are progressively being overcom…
Economic theory and space : a reconciliation
1997
Malgré des apports importants au XIXe siècle et dans la première moitié du XXe et en dépit des efforts de l'après guerre, l’économie spatiale est longtemps restée un domaine marginal par rapport au corpus principal de la théorie économique. L’attachement aux hypothèses de concurrence pure et de rendements non croissants explique en grande partie cette séparation. Depuis quelques années, on assiste, dans le cadre de l'Economie géographique, à un mouvement d’intégration dont le moteur principal est la reconnaissance et l’exploitation des rendements croissants comme explication de la formation de l’espace économique. Ce papier présente un panorama de 25 années d’économie spatiale en soulignant…
