Habib, una volta finita l'università, credeva che solo gli ingegneri agricoli dovessero andare ad occuparsi delle terre. Successivamente invece si rese conto che la sua concezione era profondamente sbagliata, perchè comunque i contadini nonostante non avessero una formazione culturale o universitaria, sanno tuttavia prendersi cura della propria terra.

Ad un certo punto si è creato un coflitto tra tutto ciò che a lui era stato inegnato come progresso rispetto ad una conoscenza definita come più rozza ma arcaica e quindi affinata nel corso dei secoli, questo saper fare del mondo contadino.

La contraddizione di questa educazione occidentale che ti da delle conoscenze che sono legate ad una versione egemonica occidentale e che a volte si pone come l'unico modello di uomo evoluto possibile e crea una fascinazione ingannevole. Porta ad allontanarsi da degli aspetti culturali identitari e profondamente materiali e terreni nel senso propriamente della terra, ed una volta che questi saperi vanno persi e quel filo si spezza, non c'è studio che tenga per poterli recuperare, anche a livello corporale.

Campo Sud, here we are in Calasetta, a border territory, at the margins. I say that because here we are located on an Island close to the main Island of Sardinia and, especially, because there is a linguistic margin. Centuries ago there was a genovese colony here so most of today’s locals in Calasetta and Carlo Martello speak an archaic genovese dialect. In Sant'Antioco (which is also the name of the patrol saint in Sardinia) a town a few miles from here locals still speak a Sardinian dialect.

To be in a liminal space together as a summer camp, willing to create in group a notebook about the Southern Question, isn’t in contrast with the old anthropological practice to investigate at the margin. Nevertheless, we aren’t here to do research, so I'm wondering what should be highlighted at this stage. Looks like political activism, academic knowledge, and Arts are the keywords so far, also they are equipment and territory of action to collectively realize something.

In the first two nights at MACC we assisted two scholars' lectures. Brutal summarization: both Habib Ayed and  in the lectures were scholars doing speeches about some political injustices in a museum: Habib spoke about how Tunisine “crop substation" was colonized and transformed in “crop market”;  spoke about the hegemony of west in the Mediterranean area [^1]. In addition to this, they decided to use the ingredients of art in their lectures: cinema and music.

Thus, to paraphrase Marx, humans have only changed the natural world, in various ways; the point is to love it. And as the Tunisian shepherd states in the film of Habib Ayeb, it is not enough simply to love the Earth, but to love it unconditionally.
