Representing Place and Territorial Identities in Europe
This book provides insight into the topic of place and territorial identity, which involves both the dimension of collective belonging and the politics of territorial planning and enhancement. It considers the social, economic and political effects of territorial identity representations among others in terms of mystification, spatial fetishism, and the creation of place and territorial stereotypes. A mixed methodology is employed to research case studies at diverse territorial scales which are relevant to the impact of a variety of factors on place/territorial identity processes such as migration, political and economic changes, natural disasters, land use changes, etc. Visual imagery, cons...

Il rione Esquilino di Roma
In che modo e in quale misura l’Esquilino è al tempo stesso lo spazio del degrado, della convivenza interetnica e della cittadinanza attiva raccontato da siti web, televisione e stampa periodica? In una prospettiva di ampio senso, quali immagini parallele ne emergono dalla letteratura, dall’arte, dal cinema, dalla musica, dai cosiddetti social? Quali connotati gli attribuisce la gente che ci vive e lavora? Cosa rende l’Esquilino uno spazio attrattivo per abitarci o per svolgere attività economiche, culturali o sociali? Questo libro racconta l’Esquilino utilizzando non solo documenti storici, dati statistici e cartografie, ma anche le rappresentazioni che ne sono state fornite (sotto forma di immagini, articoli della stampa periodica, film, opere letterarie, manifestazioni artistiche) e le auto-rappresentazioni di abitanti e attori locali.
Environmental Deterioration and Human Health
This book discusses the natural and anthropogenic determinants of the environment and their impact on human health. It throws light on the perspectives of climate change with case studies from Australia, India, Italy, and Latin America. Themes covered are ecology of antibiotic resistant microorganisms, pesticide and heavy metal (arsenic) problems in natural environment; molecular advances in understanding of microbial interactions; ecological studies of human/animal health and diseases; food security, technological developments and more. The various chapters incorporate both theoretical and applied aspects and may serve as baseline information for future research through which significant development is possible.
Preserving and Constructing Place Attachment in Europe
This book offers a variety of theoretical and methodological approaches to place attachment from a European perspective. Starting from a dynamic, relational, and participatory concept of place attachment, the book discusses place making and place attachment processes through place-based development and community place-driven actions. It also presents examples of creating place attachment through nature- and culture-based contexts and focuses on how sustainable planning and territorial identities enhance place attachment. Finally, this book presents and discusses (re)constructing place attachment within transition processes and through strategic solutions for urban recovery and regeneration of (post)-industrial areas. By considering the social, environmental, economic, and political effects of building, strengthening and maintaining place attachment, this book is a valuable read for all those working with and interested in learning more about place attachment: geographers, landscape planners, sociologists, psychologists, environmental and political scientists, and members of community movements.
Unframing and Reframing Mediterranean Spaces and Identities
Reconsidering the Mediterranean, appreciating and demarginalizing the peoples and cultures of this vast region, while considering the affinities and differences, is a valuable part of the process of unframing and reframing the concept of the Mediterranean. The authors of this volume follow Franco Cassano’s refusal of a sort of prêt-à-porter reality of cohabitation of cultures, introducing instead un’alternativa mediterranea, a world of multiple cultures that entails an ongoing learning and experiencing. The volume’s contributors use an interdisciplinary approach that mirrors the hybridity of the area and of the discipline, that is much more introspective and humanistic, more contemporary and inclusive.
ESQUILINO, ESQUILINI. Un luogo plurale
Il testo dà conto delle trasformazioni sociali in senso “multiculturale” del rione Esquilino, concentrandosi su diversi ambiti di interesse di ricerca sociale in chiave transdisciplinare. L’opera si articola in due sezioni: nella prima (4 capitoli di Vincenzo Carbone) vengono delineate le prospettive analitiche adottate, discusse e problematizzate le nozioni di luogo e di pratica spaziale e, attraverso il mapping sociale dell’area, sono proposte chiavi di lettura su territorio, sui processi che lo connotano e sui significati assegnati ai luoghi; nella seconda parte, diversi contributi (9 capitoli di più autori) approfondiscono temi specifici, secondo ambiti disciplinari e prospettive di analisi diversificate.
