La riflessione “Come essere pratici?” è nata da un dialogo a quattro voci trascritto in simultanea. La conversazione si è sviluppata leggendo parti di annotazioni e commentandole insieme, proseguendo per associazioni e scarti tra argomenti diversi. Abbiamo mantenuto la natura spontanea del dialogo anche nella restituzione scritta. La mancanza di apparenti legami stringenti, così come di ellissi o altre aperture delle frasi, riflette quindi la originaria natura orale del testo.

Quando si parla di ecologia bisogna tenere in considerazione queste cose, l’uomo la terra i minerali il respiro, le stese cose sono legate a bomba, respiro, nutrimento, l'ossigenazione, la specificità dei territori a livello politico si ripercuote sulle varie dislocazioni che cancellano le specificità dei luoghi che dal punto di vista culturale perdono l'identità.

Tutto frutto della prevaricazione sull’ambiente, sappiamo di altre culture che avevano dei luoghi sacri inviolabili, il colonialismo e il progresso occidentale È stato costruito sulla depredazione di queste risorse… Come ci ha raccontato Lucrezia Cippitelli del Congo (highlight:lubumbashi.md). Forse si ritorna all’estrattivismo? (highlight:hannoestrattotutto.md)

Infatti, mi ha colpito che una signora, qui a Calasetta, parlando di Carbonia - che io ho solo intravisto dal treno venendo qui - mi ha detto: - “sai, Carbonia è stata costruita durante il fascismo, hanno diviso i quartieri per i minatori, per i tecnici, e quello per i dirigenti. Tutti diversi.” Questo mi risuonava con quello che è stato fatto a Lubumbashi. Sono posti lontani ma si replicano le stesse dinamiche, ma è come se vicino a noi le vedessimo più leggere, come se fossero meno gravi.

*The reflection "How to be practical?" was born from a four-voice dialogue transcribed simultaneously. The conversation developed by reading the pieces of annotations and commenting on them together, continuing through the associations and discrepancies between different topics. We have kept the spontaneous nature of the dialogue also in the written form. The lack of apparent stringent links and ellipses or other openings of sentences reflects the original oral nature of the text.*

> This freedom belongs to but a few, this air is not everyone's! ... To whom the health and peace of the people, to whom the integrity and confidence of the young of every country! Whose every country and all the Earth; whose Breath! Oh, not for everyone, you will say. One would like to, but not for all is possible! And will not utter that omnipresent word: Money! ... When even the last freedom of the Earth and its less strong children can be bought - as it is indeed bought and reduced to agony, and destroyed - then the concept of freedom that comes out of it is defaced and disrupted. It is no longer a breath; it does not belong to everyone! It is of the strongest and the most brutish. -

We are sitting outside "the space," our studio in Calasetta during the CampoSud summer school. We are finish reading the highlight from Anna Maria Ortese's text ( and the word Money resonates with us. Claudia suggestively reads us the text by Stefano Mancuso :
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
art.8: "The nation of plants recognizes and favors mutual support among natural communities of living beings as a means of coexistence and progress". - 
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Given that nature organizes itself, perhaps we could reason by connecting the theme of money with the discourse of the decentralization of power?
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Money today is not understood as mutual support, if we understand progress as collective and not limited to a few, and therefore the system of money today follows the logic of prevarication.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
There are 8 articles. There are others that can be useful to us: the nation of plants recognizes and guarantees the inviolable rights of natural communities as a society based on the relationships between the organisms that compose it (art.2)...these relationships can never go on to destroy non-renewable resources...that does not recognize animal hierarchies...universally respects rights...has no boundaries
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The earth is a piece of stone.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Could we use an ecological perspective?
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The word breath comes in suddenly in Ortese's text and it seems strange, because it refers to something bodily about freedom....
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
What about the miners? Their lungs? (see:  & ).
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
We talk about struggle, contrasts, etc. I would like to see certain things as a transition, a struggle is a moment of conflict that must lead to a solution, no? I think... Because we have to talk about solution in order to move forward, it is an instrument that is used to change a system.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
But the struggle doesn't have to lead to a conflict, think about the gesture of struggle in planting 7000 oaks (see:).
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Because it is a work of art, a provocation that Joseph Beuys did, who put up for sale 7000 basalt stones that became 7000 oaks, he put his mind to it, he made them grow.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The city became afforsted with oak trees. A kind of public and shared art.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Is it political art, even those who didn't participate in the life of that plant...even those who oppose...are involved and benefit? Because those plants are part of all, even you breathe the oxygen from them....
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
It occurs to me that through art there is political struggle, and of struggle Kevin made me think when artistic political action is not on an individual but on a living organism.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
There is this concept that is called "plant blindness", that is a cognitive prejudice for which we tend to ignore the existence of plants. Even if I don't remember who theorized it - it says that in the history of art plants have always been considered as a passive or decorative element, but in reality even plants can be used for a political agency. For example, wasn't hemlock itself used in a political way in Seneca's suicide? The same plant was also used for abortions.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
When it comes to deforestation, in addition to exploiting natural resources you use plants to eradicate the identity of a people who live there. If you deforest the Amazon forest you take away vital space from that environment to bend it to other logics and make massive things out of it... even the earth, it's not only us that with our heads and our speeches can make actions, but if you modify the habitat of the people? What do you think about that?

Bringing this back to Sardinia?
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Sardinia was also deforested, then look what happened with the fires....
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
In today's highlights there is the return of the idea of the Mediterranean, this one by Emilia in ? Or this one from Clem: "For some going from one side of the Mediterranean to the other is a piece of cake, for others iron walls go up" ().
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
There seems to be a disparity in the Mediterranean that creates an inspiration for me: is it a sea of water or a sea of lead, is there a part of the world that has an easier time crossing it than the other way around...for some the water is heavier perhaps.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Dario's highlight is on doing with, doing together ().
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Then there is the one on the birth of an island () between Sicily and Africa that then disappeared, and it makes you think about the fluidity of Mediterranean space and the temporal rhythms so different from the human ones with which things change...
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
We put ourselves at the center as if we were at the center, but we need to get out of anthropocentrism.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
You remind me of this Album by Vasco Brondi first about telling the truth, we are just two life forms in the third planet of the solar system (). I think it's not just us that have... we are flies.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
To me it reminds me of Die by iosonouncane () ... It brings back marine images, so rooted in Sardinia, images so marine that listening to them ... I think about the connection of certain environmental elements, like the white sails that are specific but so spatial, local but send me back to ... other environments ...
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
even in marginality there can be an element of control, a contrast that brings inclusion that is based on exclusion
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
It seems to me very beautiful this thing of living with the stones, which is related to this thing of breathing, actually we do not know if the stones breathe, but certain plants generate, go to contribute ...
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The wind allows seeds to travel from one point to another.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Why the wind?
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
For me, wind is the breath, air moving at a speed that carries life forms.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
I'll read you a piece: from the letter suggested by Giulia () Gramsci went to school in Ghilarza, the piece about stones.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
It's as if the stones were the summary of human history, and back to the Mediterranean.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
We have the work on mining, the ecological discourse, the artwork, and this piece on stones seems to me to have nothing to do with it....
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
For me it's very touching. Also when he says that Sardinians don't like the sea because it's where the invaders come from. It is said that in Sardinia there was a tidal wave that made the inhabitants retreat inland, there are in fact nuraghi on the sea ...
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The morphology of the place where you are born changes your thinking.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
"In a letter ... Gramsci tells a story for his children ... A little boy sleeps with a glass of milk lying on the floor ... A mouse drinks the milk, the child wakes up and finding the glass empty bursts into tears. So the mouse goes to the goat and asks her for some milk. The goat doesn't have any, it needs grass. The mouse goes to the field, and the field has no grass because it is too parched. The mouse goes to the well, and the well has no water because it needs repair. ... Finally, the mouse goes to the mountain, and the mountain ... has lost its trees. (Over the past century Sardinia has been radically deforested to supply railroad ties to mainland Italy.) In exchange for your stones, says the mouse to the mountain, the child, when he grows up, will plant chestnut and pine trees on your slopes. After that, the mountain agrees to give the stones." -  in 
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
also extractivism....
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
May I say that I think it is very nice that this ambivalence of stones is told through a fable for children, making us feel how stone is linked to the work of the territory, it gives you the feeling of interconnection with everything, so if you lose a piece, if you leave behind a part, a vital organism, it will affect everything sooner or later, as in the human body if you hurt your liver, then... If you deforest a certain area, then everything is going to cry ... An interconnection that affects entities, animals, plants and minerals
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
A global vision
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
When we talk about ecology we have to take into account these things, man, earth, minerals, breath, the same things are linked to bomb, breath, nourishment, oxygenation, the specificity of the territories on a political level has repercussions on the various dislocations that erase the specificity of places that from a cultural point of view lose their identity.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
All the result of the prevarication on the environment, we know of other cultures that had inviolable sacred places, colonialism and Western progress was built on the depredation of these resources... As Lucrezia Cippitelli from Congo told us (). Perhaps there is a return to extractivism? ()
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
In fact, it struck me that a lady, here in Calasetta, talking about Carbonia - which I only caught a glimpse of from the train on the way here - told me: - "you know, Carbonia was built during Fascism, they divided the quarters for the miners, for the technicians, and for the managers. All different." This resonated with me with what was done in Lubumbashi. They are far away places but the same dynamics are replicated, but it's as if near us we see them lighter, as if they are less severe.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
At last night's meeting at the MACC museum, Cippitelli told us that in the construction of this city in the Congo, Lubumbashi, at the level of urban organization those who were near the mines had structured the city on the false belief of mosquitoes flying. It was thought that mosquitoes could fly for only 700m, so the minimum distance between the two settlements was that, almost as if they did not want to mix, contaminate ...
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
So at this point what do we have? The concept of health, of the type of work, of exploitation. So in order for me to feel good, you have to feel bad?
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
I also connect to another thing, which are the collages made by Chiara () on the theme of militarization of the Mediterranean, this stoniness struck me instinctively and not rationally when I took the photos of this place () that for me is like an imaginary place of confinement of Gramsci, this house, in reality is located on a promontory, seems almost uninhabited and you can see that it has been modified by the agency of sea and the salt ... this makes me rethink.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
A peaceful co-habitation between human and natural settlement.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Co-habitation is a nice term, maybe yes it is right, I would have said fusion but it is not in the landscape, the house is shaped by the weathering creates a confidence, then in reality it is , but before it came ... the rule ... but also a virtuous example brings an integration and maybe it is constructive?
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Integration is a word that I find difficult, I prefer co-existence. That is, you are not absorbed, you do not lose your identity. We could link this to ecology and plants. In general it's not that sage becomes rosemary, sometimes they pass nutrients on however now that I think about it some take water away from others. But I'm not a botanist.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
In India there was this person, who grew cotton plants, instead of using chemicals between the rows of crops he was looking for other plants that could ward off insects. It came to mind when talking about organizing a coexistence, connected to the mutual aid talk from earlier, and also considering the use of the chemical that causes harm.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The organization of nature by man inspired by capitalism and the speed at which it takes place is evident, the consequences as well. Nature even without man organizes itself on its own, so looking at this as a mirror we see that with this fast system we favor entropy (the slow disintegration of the universe) while if man abandons nature, as in Chernobyl, nature reorganizes itself and entropy is not favored.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
What would you like to say?
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
I'm interested in the relationship between "things," which is not just man and territory / man or animal / man and things / but a co-habitation relationship between "entities" (maybe that's the right word) that can be expressed imaginatively. Perhaps with non-descriptive stories, but with words like "breath" when talking about the Mediterranean, it can be the breath of the wind if we connect back to the sea. I don't want to say metaphorically, not even symbolically, it's a language that....
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
How does it apply to practice?
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
We can't say how to change the world from an ecological perspective, otherwise we would have to...
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
But we are writing a text and feeding off suggestions....
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
We don't necessarily have to quote to Gramsci, we adopt here his methodology of discussion from all the heritage he may have left us, but we don't necessarily have to quote him, in my opinion the importance is the way or the approach, a bit like morphology that changes and survives.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Quagliare comes from pastoralism.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Perhaps we can cite Guilia's letter as inspiration:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
*  goes also in the issue of health,
|
||||||
|
* ,
|
||||||
|
*  (on mining),

The first image in a Perec book is a map of the ocean (). There's a black square and inside it's all white, there are no boundaries or hierarchies because there's no land... and I think it's a bit of a provocation about the hierarchy of maps.
