2018 Programme
Event #14
Franco Farinelli
Space, modernity, community
The big (and successful) modernity plan consisted in reducing the face of the Earth to one space – to one, huge map. According to Max Weber, this led not only to the dissolution and the atomisation of the community, but also to an equality model of the society based on the euclidean geometry. This theory, together with the model of representative democracy, was largely questioned from the beginning of what we called globalisation, which caused the complex crisis of the spatial logic of the world. And nowadays we run the risk of not understanding it.
