Aesthetics of Control and Absence in the Vajont Disaster and Giovanni Michelucci’s Chiesa Monumentale di Santa Maria Immacolata | Itinera
Estetica del controllo e dell'assenza nel disastro del Vajont e nella Chiesa Monumentale di Santa Maria Immacolata di Giovanni Michelucci
riviste.unimi.it
I've been working on developing a critical ecosemiotic approach for the arts. A preliminary framework is the one I used in my article on Vajont & Michelucci's church. Still work in progress but for now, there are 2 regimes: 1. present-focused, vernacular-knowledge; 2. technocratic, future-projecting
I really enjoyed reading and reviewing Negative Life by @jttremblay.bsky.social and @stevenswarbrick.bsky.social for Ecozon@. A wonderful book that conceptualizes art and extinction beyond pastoral narratives of interconnectedness and exalted (green) consciousness!

In Romania, we entered the post-election phase when, aside from further limiting access to services & education through ineffective budget cuts, the Beautiful Decent Cultural Gatekeepers gather to insult those they've been gatekeeping from with stale metaphors. Annoying bc I like that Ionescu play.

Many folks are unhappy about the EU’s weak stance re: Trump. But how many would be raging if the negotiators went gung-ho and put the EU into recession? There is no material basis for this Principled Power some people demand, and there is no popular will to substitute virtues for welfare. So, then?

Viví en uno de esos edificios en Valencia; luego me mudé a una ciudad pequeña, en una zona de clase media-alta, pero los problemas persisten: calor asfixiante, negacionismo climático y rechazo a la ayuda pública. Comprensible en este clima ideológico, pero desesperante al vivirlo y compartirlo.
Tenemos un parque edificado en TODA ESPAÑA lleno de esta clase de viviendas de calidad regulinchis, con hojas de ladrillo exteriores sin o apenas cámara ventilada, sin aislamiento, con unos puentes térmicos DE FLIPAR, que vamos a tener que empezar a rehabilitar YA

As for Ukraine’s new law stripping the independence of two anti-corruption agencies, preceded by a dramatic crackdown on individual corruption investigators, which many of us are trying to make sense of—perhaps this should be understood in a broader geopolitical turn. Some factors: 🧵

If you were wondering how it's going under Romania's new government: as part of the fiscal measures for reducing deficit, rural libraries are downsized & librarian positions cut, while book VAT is up from 5% to 11%. But, gambling is decentralized so local mafias can freely develop their activity.
Fără biblioteci, fără povești. Ce pierde un sat când i se închide biblioteca?

L'idée de discriminations climatiques va faire son chemin : nous ne sommes pas égaux devant les canicules. Sur un même territoire, les disparités sont flagrantes. L'exposition aux chaleurs extrêmes n'est pas partagée et tout le monde n'a pas un accès égal aux possibilités de s'en abriter.
Au lieu de donner la parole à des politiques et journalistes qui parlent d'écologie punitive dans des bureaux et apparts climatisés, donnons la parole aux ouvriers, agriculteurs, profs dans des classes à 38°C, aux livreurs etc. qui doivent travailler en plein soleil parce qu'ils n'ont pas le choix.
