L’AQUILA – The “Vocabulary of internal areas”, to be published by the Abruzzo publishing house Radici Edizioni on 16 May, was born from the intuition of Nicholas TomeoPhD student in Ecology and territory at the University of Molise, who called together more than sixty “contributors” to draw up a useful and necessary work tool for all those people who dedicate their studies to the situation of the “great internal Italian area ”.
Created with a popular approach and involving – in addition to university professors – journalists, activists and territorial operators, the Vocabulary presents itself as a multidisciplinary work, a critical and reasoned dictionary, useful as a tool for in-depth analysis of issues that concern at least thirteen million citizens, struggling with the ever-increasing deprivation of some fundamental services and rights.
From A for Abandonment to W for Welfare, passing through the acronyms of SNAI and PNRR, in the 352-page volume there are one hundred lemmas that in recent years have been used (and at times abused) to describe, narrate and debate realities that are too often told as inexorably predestined to marginality.
The intention declared by the curator, right from the back cover, is to bring the “question” of the internal areas back to the center of the debate, doing so by shifting the attention to a new approach, which puts the cooperation instead of competition, to understand how and where it is still possible to act beyond catastrophism on the one hand and the rhetoric of the most beautiful villages on the other.
The tour of presentations is already ready and will last throughout the summer and immediately in the first weeks after its release the Vocabulary of the internal areas will be presented on the following dates: 16 May in Castiglione Messer Marino (Chieti) within the “Scuola of Small Municipalities”; on May 24th in San Pio delle Camere, in the province of L’Aquila, during the new Being Countries initiative organized by “Te.Co – Territorio & Comunità”; on May 28th in Rome with the curator, Vito Teti And Rossano Pazzagli during the fourth edition of Villa Lais Legge.
The scientific committee leading Nicholas Tomeo’s project is composed of Lina Calandra (University of L’Aquila), Augusto Ciuffetti (Marche Polytechnic University), Gabriella Corona (Ismed/CNR), Marco Giovagnoli (University of Camerino) e Rossano Pazzagli (University of Molise).
