Territorio e tecnologie di potere
16 May 2025
Corippo, ex sala Comunale
Partendo dagli studi di Michel Foucault sulla biopolitica, si riflette sul cambiamento climatico come paradigma nei dispositivi di sicurezza e nelle tecniche di governo del territorio, che mirano a regolare flussi e mobilità delle popolazioni. Fin dal Settecento la terra è stata centrale nei processi produttivi, e oggi, nell’era digitale e finanziaria, riemerge la questione della libertà e della vita come bene comune.
