The themes of improvisation and of unfulfi llment share many traits. Both take a stand against the "absolute norm" imposed by the technocratic consumer society; both re-explore discarded options, in search for a brand new solution. Accordingly, action (including political action) must be reconsidered in light of the theme of reversibility, what Italo Calvino and Michelangelo have shown us about the process of artistic creation. Further confirmation of this is offered by Luigi Pareyson's theory of formativity.

The paper highlights the originalities offered by metropolitan areas such as Reggio Calabria. Here the human actions have found their peculiarities and richness thanks to the close dialogue with the earth's resources and to their use. So, more deeply than in other places, the cultural heritage and the social dynamics participate, and have participated, in the drawing of the space and in giving prospects for the development of the territory. Here, between the end of the XV and the first half of the XVI century, Bernardino Telesio with his "Philosophy of Nature" and his disciple Tommaso Campanella, both Calabrians, have proposed a new way to think the world: they were among the few philosophers, the modern fathers, of what today is defined as ecological thought. The main instruction is to avoid unsustainable choices that might be useful in the short time, but not in the medium or long term because often they increase the risk. The other connected instruction consists in using the present cultural resources and the remained natural ones as design suggestions. The paper, shortly, points out all these elements and suggests the main political and cultural lines to create the original Reggio Calabria Metropolis as proposed in the title.DOI: http://dx.medra.org/10.19254/LaborEst.13.01

In this paper we suggest that, to approach the actual urban configurations, we are in need of new geographies. To critically understand the production of socio natural space we propose two methods: Planetary Urbanization and World Ecology. Consistent with the ongoing debate in Urban Political Ecology, we approach the Covid-19 pandemic as a result of the ecological crisis which is, as we show, an urban crisis. In order to immagine new methods of living with and within nature, we suggest to go beyond the normative dichotomies developed by the Capitalistic culture. Considering this problem, we approac h to the urbanization as a multiscalar and uneven process, with a specific attention on public spaces (common), mobility (daily or wide ranging) and the relationship between infrastructures and nature (the Mapuche case).

Starting from the critic perspective of medical anthropology with reference to the problem of the environmental contamination the author reflects on the human body as a vulnerable junction of the interchange of culture and nature, a physical place of processes of social and material embodiment, and as the fulcrum of a complex interweaving of geopolitical forces and injustices. The impact of pollutants is expressed through the dynamics of transformation of human bodies into toxic bodies, ecological alterities characterized by social vulnerabilities and inequalities, and so living texts which can tell stories of contamination, disease, and oppression. Female rebelling bodies burst onto the public scene, trying, by their knowledge and practices, to realign ecology and economy. Finally it is highlighted how the relationship between environmental contamination, protection of territories and the right to health is inscribed in conflicting fields of forces where a new biological citizenship is played and fertile spaces can be open for a political ecology to which medical anthropology can obviously offer a rich contribution.

This article explores the interest of Fabio Pusterla's poetry for the representation of the landscape, as well as the constant ecological attention that is revealed within his texts. In particular, it is shown how the representation of nature presents anti-idyllic characteristics and, at the same time, embodies a pedagogical value and resistance that assimilates nature to the profound reasons of poetry. The essay focuses on the symbolic and "political" value that Pusterla entrusts to trees and plants as witnesses of a moral and civil tension that feeds the privileged dialogue between ecology and lyric in contemporaneity. ; L' articolo approfondisce l'interesse della poesia di Fabio Pusterla per la rappresentazione del paesaggio, così come la costante attenzione ecologica che si rivela nei suoi testi. In particolare, viene mostrato come la rappresentazione della natura presenti, in questa opera, caratteri anti-idillici e, allo stesso tempo, incarni un valore pedagogico e di resistenza che assimila la natura alle ragioni profonde della poesia. Il saggio si sofferma sul valore simbolico e "politico" che Pusterla affida agli alberi e alle piante come testimoni di una tensione morale e civile che alimenta il dialogo privilegiato tra ecologia e lirica nella contemporaneità. ; This article explores the interest of Fabio Pusterla's poetry for the representation of the landscape, as well as the constant ecological attention that is revealed within his texts.
