Il luogo e il senso: creazione e significazione degli spazi nel mondo globale by Gambardella, Fabiana, Amodio, Paolo

“…The “Sapiens 2.0” continues to construct his world as a place of signification and habitability, modelling his own “surroundings” in a way that is once again unprecedented, due to the transformations that he produces and which, in a circular and recursive process, continue to renew his features As plastic, versatile and changing entities, we exist in a global world, we easily move between semantically relevant places – home, neighbourhood, square, café – and the so-called “non-places”, spaces of transit, from airports and shopping malls to the web, which has now became the sapiens’ second home, the home within the home, or rather the ubiquitous home, in which we spend most of our time. The end of the strong subject of Cartesian metaphysics, replaced by a nomadic and fluid subjectivity, seems to be in line with a new reconfiguration of space: the temporary exposition replaces the monument; event supplants the codified liturgy of the ritual; online forum or the participation to the initiative through the click “Going”, replaces the square and the physical space of the relationship and contestation; smart working succeeds the factory and the office as spaces of production and sharing of work and ideas. …”
