Andare oltre il pensiero binario per innescare nuove forme di interazione con la molteplice diversità dei territori: quali forme di conoscenza, di progetto e di azione?

Starting from a critique of the cultural tradition of modernity, based on the
separation between subject and object, mind and matter, nature and culture,
the author highlights the profound implications that binary thinking has had
on the way we conceive, construct and manage territory, interrupting those
millennial dialogues between communities and places to which we owe the
diversity of our landscapes. This disconnection - transforming the territory
into a disenchanted support functional to the processes of industrialisation,
urbanization, and the new extractivist economy generated by the alliance
between technology and finance - is at the root of the profound sociospatial inequalities and ecological, social, and environmental crises we are
experiencing. Through a series of critical steps, the author seeks to identify
how universities, rethinking the ways in which knowledge and projects are
constructed, can embark on promising paths to try to trigger new forms of
co-belonging and interaction with the manifold diversity of local territories,
overcoming those forms of extractivist rationality that have produced the
dissociation between us and the world.
