Capitolo in libro: “Living Rome: Space, Identity, and the Politics of Belonging”
Si segnala l’uscita del volume “Living Rome: Space, Identity, and the Politics of Belonging” a cura di The Geography of Mutual Aid in Contemporary Rome. The Experience of Nonna Roma” firmato da Raffaella Coletti (CNR- Issirfa) e Andrea Simone.
Living Rome: Space, Identity, and the Politics of Belonging looks beyond the romanticized image of Rome, towards a kaleidoscopic view of the city shaped by inequalities, socio-political challenges, and acts of resistance and solidarity. In the wake of urban developments related to migration, housing shortages, COVID-19, crime, and other social changes, this volume offers a grounded approach, mapping the contemporary realities of Italy’s capital from a variety of methodological standpoints. Contributors argue that the unseen fringes, both geographically peripheral and those embedded within the very heart of Rome, are crucial for understanding its social dynamics. These ‘hidden’ geographies foster vibrant communities, challenge ideas of home and belonging, and act as key sites of creativity, resistance and everyday life.
