Spazi luminosi e conquista della notte. Partecipazione come scoperta geografica

The paper is organized around three keywords: layers, space, and participation, thus establishing a link between practical experience and some important contributions - not only for geography, but also for the interpretation of complex relationships among social actors, territories, and power. From the darkness of Amazonia to the bright lights of cities, from the territories of colonial and neo-colonial powers to shared spaces, these relationships are still challenges, both when we approach them and also when we move beyond urban density.
