(Re)PRODUCING EVERYDAY LIFE. Urban commoning through care.
Edited by Chiara Belingardi, Gabriella Esposito De Vita, Stefania Ragozino, Tihomir Viderman
EXTENDED DEADLINE - 15 April
Urban Commons express the entanglements among spaces, communities, and governing models. The unceasing process of reconfiguration of the geography of people, activities and rules of self-organization, typical of the commoning process, is based on mutual recognition, shared values, openness, mutualism and care. The three items (commoning, community, space) are equally necessary to the creation of commons, moving towards enabling policies and enabling spaces. This call of CONTESTI aims to collect theoretical, methodological, and empirical contributions that deal with the concepts of urban commons and care, with the focus on (but not restricted to) the following topics: 1. Production of commons - production of values; 2. Care as a social activity and public responsibility; 3. Everyday politics of urban commons; 4. Enabling spaces, enabling policies; 5. Conflict and resistance to urban extractivism; 6. Commons and (agro)ecologies for territorial regeneration; 7. Urban Commoning by care strategies; 8. Women and queer women for urban resistance.

Published December 31, 2023
Issue Description
La proposta pervenuta alla redazione di Contesti, ed al Direttore del Dipartimento di Architettura dell’Università di Firenze, di dedicare un numero speciale della rivista alla fi gura di Gian Franco Di Pietro, ha trovato negli interpellati immediata e convinta adesione. Ciò non solo e non tanto come dovuto riconoscimento per un docente che per molti anni ha rivestito e svolto con impegno ed intelligenza un ruolo centrale ed un attività intensa nell’ambito della -un tempo- Facoltà di Architettura; quanto per la ricchezza e valore paradigmatico di un’opera che ha effi cacemente espresso, nell’arco degli anni in cui si è svolta, l’approccio critico rifl essivo, contestuale e multidisciplinare tipico di una buona parte della “scuola fi orentina” di architettura.
