Co-creative Communities and Resilience Accelerators. Sicani Hills in Sicily
2022
The contribution asks for a change of perspective, addressing inner areas as motors of innovation and test-fields for new dynamics of development and more adaptive processes, looking at co-creative communities and the potentials and resources specifically connected to space, settlements, and landscapes. The reactivation of small towns can catalyze tourism and community’s resilience through targeted transformations of built heritage and unused building stock, social innovation initiatives, and new forms of production. In order to return to inhabit inner areas, new infrastructures and basic services are needed, but also new perspectives and projects able to radically change production, consum…
B4R Branding4Resilience. Tourist infrastructure as a tool to enhance small villages by drawing resilient communities and new open habitats
2021
“Marginal” areas are a central issue that is being discussed all over Europe. Indeed, more than 60% of the European population live in peripheral contexts outside of main urban conurbations (Data “EUROSTAT regional yearbook 2013”. Data referred to the sum of the population in ‘intermediate regions’ and in ‘rural areas’ in the EU27). Yet, the contexts addressed by the Italian National Strategy on Inner Areas (covering approximately the 60 per cent of Italy and hosting nearly 13.540 million people) are often lacking successful regional policies and systemic territorial approaches to achieve effective transformations. In order to tackle with such fragile areas, a new development path has to be…
Fostering resilience in Inner Areas. The Sicani case study in Sicily
2022
In recent years, the theme of the regeneration of small centres in fragile and marginal areas has returned to the centre of the Italian debate and public policies, as well as resilience practices in which culturally-based regenera-tion projects, community cooperatives and resettlement processes are based on a spatial dimension capable of playing an active and unprecedented role. The COVID-19 pandemic we are currently experiencing has reignited the debate on fragile areas, reinforcing the perception of those territorial ine-qualities between metropolitan and inner areas exacerbated by the crisis. In fact, the pandemic has further highlighted the serious shortcomings in the provision of servi…
The Peripheri-City of the Inner Areas: Local Development in the Sicani Territory
2018
The inner peripheries are now subject to territorial and social metamorphosis in the sense that they are returning to be attractive places for younger generations through the rediscovery of the potential that they offer in terms of esources and propensity to change. Characterised by an ev-ergrowing number of bottom-up innovation experiences of both traditional crafts and agricultural production, and with abandoned sites in social and cultural places having been recovered, thus allowing the rediscovery the sense of sharing and conviviality typical of these places in the past to be rediscovered, these sites presently need to be discussed, described, and thought of in a new way. The experience…
Come le lucciole. Sperimentazioni artistiche e fermenti culturali tra margini territoriali e disciplinari
2019
La rincorsa al progresso, l'ossessione della crescita economica, l'enfatizzarsi del pensiero dicotomico, hanno portato a delle spaccature, delle 'discrepanze', sia dal punto di vista territoriale che disciplinare. Un processo di artificializzazione e desacralizzazione la cui deriva è rappresentata da una progressiva distruzione dello stesso habitat naturale, dalla rottura dei rapporti co-evolutivi tra uomo e ambiente e da una separazione esponenziale tra soggetto osservante e oggetto osservato, che ha portato a una epistemologia deterministica e tecnofila, con il progressivo abbandono e rifiuto dei linguaggi sensibili nel processo di analisi e produzione del territorio. Facendo ricorso alle…
Sull’importanza di essere estremi : esercizi di utopie praticabili
2021
"Per Fare un Tavolo. Arte e territorio" è un evento ideato da Bianco-Valente e Pasquale Campanella nell'ambito del Padiglione Italia alla 17ª Mostra Internazionale di Architettura della Biennale di Venezia e parte integrante del progetto A Cielo Aperto, le cui attività sono sostenute dall'Associazione Culturale Vincenzo De Luca, nel Comune di Latronico. I contributi presenti nella pubblicazione provengono da personalità afferenti a diversi ambiti disciplinari, sono un approfondimento sulle tematiche delle aree interne e degli sviluppi delle pratiche artistiche legate al territorio, per definire il ruolo "pubblico" dell'arte, degli artisti e delle comunità.
The Smart Land Paradigm in the Sicani Territorial Archipelago
2017
With the aim to identify the specific identities of the Sicani territory, to interpret them in a perspective of innovative development and to define strategies capable of intercepting programming in progress, it has been deepened the “territorial archipelago” theoretical framework , recognizing it into the Sicani territory and trying to use it as the base of a possible development of a Smart Land, as a “non-gravitational” paradigm able to recognize and to direct the new relations of the rur-urban local systems.
Re-Inhabiting Inner Areas Triggering New Regeneration Trajectories: The Case Study of Sicani in Sicily
2022
The Italian debate on the so-called ‘inner areas’ has received a much-needed boost, following the COVID-19 pandemic, which has further highlighted the differences between metropolitan and inner areas. While the progressive depopulation of inner areas is a worrying phenomenon, the limits of incessant urbanisation and the concentration of settlement and infrastructure policies in large conurbations have become evident. Departing from the framework of the B4R-Branding4Resilience research project of national interest and, by continuing in the furrow initiated by the SNAI, but also surpassing it, the aim of the University of Palermo’s research is to define the requirement for a…
