2023-01-2326 minI dialoghi della creanzaEp.9 - Giorgia Lattuca e le comunità intenzionali (parte 1)Per uscire dall’immaginario comune che vede gli ecovillaggi ancora fermi al tempo dei figli dei fiori abbiamo incontrato Giorgia Lattuca, presidente uscente di RiVE, la rete che raccoglie in Italia la maggior parte di queste comunità. Giorgia ci ha raccontato di metodologie, strutture e pratiche all’avanguardia, frutto di trent’anni di sperimentazione, nate grazie a GEN (Global Ecovillage Network). Ad esempio, la CLIPS (COMMUNITY LEARNING INCUBATOR PROGRAMME FOR SUSTAINABILITY) nasce per favorire apprendimento e crescita organica dentro le comunità sia in termini di relazioni che di pratiche, ma potrebbe essere applicata in molti altri ambiti, diventando una chia...

I dialoghi della creanzaEp.8 - Giuseppe Micciarelli e l'hackeraggio politicoIn questo ottavo episodio Giuseppe Micciarelli ci parla di hackeraggio politico, una pratica giuridica sempre più diffusa e necessaria per mediare il dialogo tra i movimenti e le pubbliche amministrazioni. A partire dall’esperienza dell’Ex Asilo Filangieri di Napoli Giuseppe ci delinea un quadro politico dove l’evaporazione dei corpi intermedi (sindacati, associazioni di categoria, ordini professionali, etc.) ha aperto una voragine comunicativa tra i partiti politici e i cittadini. Da qui la necessità di reinventare nuove istituzioni che proprio nel lavoro dei movimenti e nell’hackeraggio della normativa vigente trovano possibilità, forza e legittimazione.Giuseppe Mi...

The Cosmic Library1.3 Finnegan and Friends: WaterThe “wake” in Finnegans Wake means both a joyous funereal gathering (here Joyce invented the word “funferal”) and a rising from sleep. But it also suggests the wake that follows movement through water. The book’s language, while dreamy and ceremonial, is also material, and often watery. This is appropriate, because like dreams, water brings us into an ongoing process of expansive life. Cosmically expansive, even. Alok Jha says in this episode that while we’re mostly water-beings on a planet covered in water, “all of those molecules of water came not from the Earth; the Earth’s water comes from space...
