Also, holes and tunnels are artefacts that question the usual relation between space and time by constantly reconfiguring it, as they redefine the memory and the perception of places. They are both conceived and lived spaces, caught in intense social interactions. As core elements in life-stages rituals, holes and tunnels are often at the heart of conflicts and tensions: they can define, amplify, or overturn, social hierarchies, exercising a simultaneously conjunctive and disjunctive function – similar to what Levi-Strauss said of the fog, which connects us while making us mutually invisible

La sua riuscita, ovvero la sua capacità di trasformare lo spazio in un ambiente ibrido dotato di un proprio sistema grafico di ordinamento, si fonda sull'accessibilità permanente degli elementi che la compongono. A differenza di altri tipi di scritto, che possono essere archiviati e conservati al riparo tra due usi successivi, i moduli grafici della segnaletica non valgono che in quanto esposti. L'esposizione, che è la loro forza, è però anche la loro debolezza, la loro fragilità. La felicità del funzionamento della segnaletica dipende da varie attività che fanno vivere giorno dopo giorno il dispositivo.

Fragments of a different life, experienced during the struggle, take form in spaces and times with threshold characteristics. When people collectively realize that their actions are becoming different from their usual collective habits, then comparison becomes liberating.
But these thresholds, these heterotopias, are bound to the inconsistencies and twisting ways of social change. In them, the radical otherness of human emancipation is confronted, approached and explored.
Can the city of thresholds become the spatial equivalent of an emancipating project based on the negotiation between different but open identities in the process of collectively inventing the future?

The disaster killed 309 people, left 50,000 homeless and shut down entire areas of its sprawling urban system.
The public debate and policy interventions that followed the disaster raised the question of what kind of city should be rebuilt. Which new visions for the city could be put forward?
Envisaging L’Aquila brings together the results of a large and articulated research project carried out at the Gran Sasso Science Institute to document the reconstruction process.
The book provides a broad overview of the emerging visions and spatial strategies unfolding at the local level, documenting the everyday life public spaces, civil society movements, and the relaunch of the knowledge economy in the local territorial system.

L’Hotel House è un enorme condominio di architettura razionalista composto da 480 appartamenti, situato nella parte meridionale della cittadina di Porto Recanati, nel Sud delle Marche.
Luogo peculiare per la sua conformazione urbanistica, nettamente separato dal resto della città, lo è altrettanto per la sua demografia: progettato alla fine degli anni Sessanta per il soggiorno di italiani vacanzieri di ceto medio, a partire dagli anni Novanta si è trasformato in luogo di concentrazione di una popolazione di lavoratori immigrati provenienti da oltre quaranta Paesi.
Frutto di una prolungata ricerca etnografica, il lavoro di Cancellieri ci porta dritto nel cuore dell’Hotel House: mostrandoci come si vive e come si esperisce quotidianamente la differenza, come si lotta per “farsi spazio”, come ci si mobilita per opporsi al doppio processo di ghettizzazione e stigmatizzazione, Hotel House costituisce una ricchissima fonte di dati e riflessioni.
Se infatti il caso di Porto Recanati è certamente singolare, se non unico nel nostro Paese, esso è al tempo stesso profondamente sintomatico e significativo delle nuove configurazioni della spazialità contemporanea e delle sue sfide.

prefazione di Giuliana Chiaretti
Alte Ceccato, frazione di Montecchio Maggiore, provincia di Vicenza: ieri, piccola comunità di fabbrica nata negli anni ’50 attorno all’utopia padronale di Pietro Ceccato; oggi, snodo della diaspora bangladese nel cuore del continuo suburbano del nordest italiano.
Il volume, basato su un’ampia ricerca sul campo, racconta e interpreta le trasformazioni urbane e sociali, la rivitalizzazione degli spazi pubblici ad opera della comunità immigrata, le inevitabili tensioni, i conflitti e le discriminazioni.
Alte Ceccato è unica, ma non è sola: come tutti gli esempi unici, è necessario studiarla perché comprendere le dinamiche in atto in questa piccola “frazione globale” insegna molto sul nostro presente e dà la chiave del nostro prossimo futuro.

The changes affecting the contemporary city deeply transform contemporary territories and challenge existing epistemological, analytical and operational approaches. Complex socio-spatial metropolitan realities configure landscapes endowed with new features, calling for new conceptual and operative tools.
The essays collected in this book were first presented at the International Seminar “Territoires en débat: la montagne comme jardin urbain?” organised at ENSA – Paris La Villette, and further revised in view of this publication.
Les nombreuses mutations qui intéressent les villes et les territoires contemporains nous interrogent sur la viabilité des outils conceptuels et opératoires, des catégories et des paradigmes utilisés jusqu’à présent pour comprendre et pour agir sur les paysages et sur les réalités socio spatiales qu’elles génèrent.
Cet ouvrage restitue et prolonge le dialogue qui est né autour de ces thématiques lors de la rencontre entre différents chercheurs réunis dans le cadre du séminaire international « Territoire en débat : la montagne comme jardin urbain? » organisé à l’ENSA – Paris La Villette.

In the widest sense, it means to put into dialogue different features of care in the contemporary city. We would like to reflect on the following: Care as relation, practiced to realize, maintain, nurture, and repair conditions and situations to allow humans and nonhumans to live together as well as possible. Care as production, providing social, material, emotional or intellectual mutual support to face the lacks, gaps and crises in collective life. Care as a triggering domain, which challenges (and is challenged by) care-supporting policies and practices: exploring it means also putting into discussion the tension between formal and informal frameworks of care, as well as its moral rhetoric or its commodification. Care as a framework for critical action refers to individual and collective mobilization for the radical changes a society needs, from urban rights to justice, challenging the logics of market urbanism. Following these paths, the issue aim is to develop a framework that addresses the small scale to the large scale, self and social relations, the material and the discursive to host narratives, typologies, and practices of care as critical action. The issue seeks to gather contributions from scholars, activists and practitioners, to put them into relation, bringing together different modes of theory and practices.
