The banks of the sea: from public spaces in the maze of consumption, to paraphrase The Franco Cecla.
Could this be the last in a nutshell description of the Italian coast landscape horizon?
Sicilian anthropologist, author of, among others already known to "get lost. The man with no environment "(Yale University Press, 1998) and" Against Architecture "(Agence Basic Books, 2008), gives us the Friday of the Republic of 29 October 2010, a brief examination of the opposing Western ideas of public space. There are those who would like to control, commercially and police, every place and who believes that freedom is a concept to be applied in its unpredictable and anarchic solutions, at least to the spaces public. E 'Needless to say, first make every effort to replace consumers to citizens, while the latter can now be found on the barricades of civil resistance. This examination, which takes its cue from the new station in Milan for a broader view on public spaces (or trade?) Of other cities, is unfortunately more and more fitting for the shores of the sea, beaches are occupied by beaches, wild cliffs divided up into apartments or, equally dangerously, accessible docks to be transformed into an exclusive gated marina. Just do, or try to do often!, A walk in the Ligurian ports to realize how the logic of the maxi-boating is pressing all other forms of nautical passion, or try to get close to many beaches of Lazio, with no intention of paying the entrance fee or toll, however, in another form. If
as we always remember Franco The Cecla "The square is an Italian invention, the shores of the sea is a natural constituent of landscape quality peninsular. Do not forget that in the last fifty years most of the coast have been transformed into urban banks, declination of the Navy "urban marketing" now common in many parts of Europe. Of these urban shores, the sea remains the only horizon of freedom, so each faces, whether it's beaches or rocky coasts, roads or large, should be protected from the assault private, should be understood as a common good or public domain, to use a nineteenth-century definition that should be updated.
I will not tire of saying and writing that the individual claims of the free sea, as many small overlapping waves gain strength, they can become an irrepressible need for a collective reappropriation of the Mediterranean.
