Pubblicazione degli Annali di ricerche e studi di geografia 2023-2024
Ilenia Paciaroni segnala la pubblicazione degli Annali di ricerche e studi di geografia 2023-2024:
«If we define geography as the study of “the ways in which space is involved in the operation and outcome of social and biophysical processes” (Gregory et al. 2009; p. 288), then it is necessary to emphasise the role that space plays in an ongoing reshaping of the resilience concept. In order to carry out such analysis, it is possible to rely on another notion, already widely treated and defined, which is that of territorialisation (Raffestin, 1984, 2012; Turco, 1988; 2010).
In the words of Turco (1988, p. 76): “Territorialisation is thus a process, by virtue of which, space incorporates anthropological value; the latter is not added to physical properties but absorbs them, reshapes them and puts them back into circulation in variously culturalised forms and functions”. Thus, considering the territory as a space on which human action is exercised, territorialisation must be considered as a lasting, complex, and progressive process, a mutual interaction between the physical environment and human action. Similarly, processes attributable to the enhancement of resilient practices in a community context incorporate and reshape forms of territorialisation. Consequently, it is possible to identify a multiplicity of so-to-speak territorialising acts in resilient strategies, namely, the ensemble of those signs that humans imprint on space, marking it as their construction…»
