La mobilità ha scardinato l’interpretazione delle dinamiche degli abitanti, complessificando le relazioni tra luoghi, producendo nuovi immaginari del mondo e generando territori in rete. Sono articolazioni del territorio fondate su forme politopiche dell’abitare e indotte da abitanti mobili che depositano i propri segni, intessendo relazioni tra culture di luoghi contigui e connessi ed evidenziando un’urbanità planetaria. Si tratta di una nuova fase dell’antropizzazione della terra – l’Antropocene – che vede l’umanità condizionarne le trasformazioni producendo il cambiamento climatico e rendendo vulnerabili gli spazi di vita. In tale contesto, territori fragili e quotidianamente solcati da individui mobili come quelli dell’Africa Subsahariana, palesano una crisi dell’abitabilità della terra a fronte di catastrofi ambientali e instabilità geopolitiche. Essi, tuttavia, offrono spunti per immaginare forme sostenibili di abitare la terra a partire da territorialità basiche fondate su regimi mobili, debolmente reificate, ancorate a principi di solidarietà ed equilibrate nel processo coevolutivo umano-natura.

Abstract
Mobility has undermined the interpretation of the inhabitants’ dynamics, complexifying the relationships between places, producing new imaginaries of the world and generating networked territories. They are territories founded on polytopic forms of living and induced by mobile inhabitants who leave their own signs, weaving relationships between cultures of contiguous and connected places and highlighting a planetary urbanity. This is a new phase of the anthropization of the earth - the Anthropocene - which sees humanity influencing its transformations by producing climate change and making living spaces vulnerable. In this context, fragile territories crossed daily by mobile individuals such as the Sub-Saharan Africa reveal a crisis in the habitability of the earth in the face of environmental catastrophes and geopolitical instability. They, however, offer ideas for imagining sustainable forms of inhabiting the earth starting from basic territorialities based on mobile regimes, weakly reified, anchored to principles of solidarity and balanced in the human-nature co-evolutionary process.| File | Dimensione del file | Formato | |
