Per un’ecologia della memoria: territori tra passato e futuro

Abstract

Memory is a gauntlet thrown down to the present – nowadays, unfortunately, increasingly holding as its own only horizon – in the name of what can be defined as a compatible future. looking for a coherence beyond the inevitable discontinuities and fractures. This could be achieved through the experience of Return: not a backwards motion but, first of all, a mental, cultural, experimental operation pointing forwards which it is urgent to get educated to. Return to the too many blanks of mountains et inlands where territories and places, mainly those in a state of misery and abandonment, challenge the very meaning of the words we use to describe them.
