C'è un'evidente continuità tra il volume che qui si presenta nella collana dei «Saggi» e la fortunata edizione delle «Saggine» che è stata proposta nel 2022 all'attenzione dei lettori sotto l'insegna di Rigenerazione urbana. Un glossario. Ci sono anche importanti segnali di novità, in un mondo e in un tempo che fanno dell'innovazione la propria insegna. La nuova edizione, facendo tesoro…
This edited volume identifies and establishes the idea of the Callidocene, which the authors position as an epoch that both includes and extends beyond the current conception of the Anthropocene. While the word 'Anthropocene' has become strongly associated with concerns over humanity's impact on the planet, contributors turn instead to the Callidocene-intended to encompass human, machine, and …

La civitas europea ha trovato storicamente la sua manifestazione esteriore nell'urbs, la cornice quotidiana fatta di strade e case in cui le persone ambientano le proprie vite, in un …
