IL BOOK

The book originates from the kom-pa, a web magazine born in Palermo in 2008, which collects contributions on cross-transformations and conflicts, global and local . Over the years it has become a reference point for debates on urban change and the impact of the economic crisis in the South.

After three years of life on the web, in which different looks have crossed the city in transformation, the curators have decided to bring order to the thinking, to question the overall vision has emerged.

Salvatore Cavaleri, John Macaluso and Enzo Di Benedetto are the three editors of Places fireworks. Narratives of the metropolis at the time of crisis , and their coexistence is an immediate deictic nature of the text and scope of research and reflection that this provides.

" Places fireworks, because all places are the result of an artifice. Territories, cities, enclave are never natural objects, pure data, but the result of complex devices joints symbolic, historical transformations and discursive practices.

Places fireworks because sites may hatch in itself explosive elements, not pacified, ready at any moment to shine in the most unusual. "

The paper brings together the contributions of teachers, scholars and artists, which are all critical motivated by the desire to challenge the dominant ideological constructions. While coming from different fields - from education to that of philosophical reflection (Sensible, Cavaleri, Di Benedetto, Di Gesù, Faletra, Macaluso), from theater to the literary (Collovà, White) - reflections based on the town territory involving the analysis of dynamic metropolis in the world, starting with a first look at the city of Palermo, and then interested in categories that do not have citizenship.

The conflict between local and global economic crisis, international, infesting the phenomenon of shopping malls, the language and the style theatrical costume compared to the mafia, Places fireworks is a bomb in balance between the pages, a tool for a candidate among the potential path of criticism to come.
