#LivingTheCity #CulturalDesign #LivingPolitics “Living the house, living the city” - edited by Massimo Morisi, Policy Analyst, and Claudio Paolini, art historian - is the second volume of the Lezioni di Design Collection promoted by Selfhabitat Cultura, directed by Patrizia Scarzella and published by Metilene Edizioni. “Living – write the curators Claudio Paolini and Massimo Morisi – does not only mean, as essential and indispensable as it is, equipping oneself with a council house or a luxurious penthouse that adheres to the urgencies or status of those who own or possess it. But it means having a place in which to build, know and exercise one’s own habitus and one’s own habilitas as a person. That is, one’s ability to form and grow in the geography of a given territorial environment and in the functioning of a given social fabric and the sets of relationships that derive from it. A place, in short, that through the spaces, functions and symbols it contains makes us feel 'at home' and helps us find a meaning and a value to our existence and to the bonds it is woven with”. The index of this volume starts from the logics in which, in nineteenth-century modernity up to the present day, the ways of living, its social presuppositions, the cultural and normative parameters of its quality and its class sharing have been defined. Then, through an anthropological survey oriented to the different cognitive objectives that living presupposes, it addresses the crucial issue of how the forms and policies of urban life interfere with domestic life, and with what implications. According to the formula of the Design Lessons Collection, the volume “Living the house, living the city” is made up of writings by various authors, with specific identities and professional skills that are part of the large network of protagonists of the Florence Design Lessons in the world of design, architecture and art. The house as a mirror of the soul: living between the 19th and early 20th centuries is the title of Claudio Paolini's essay, a fascinating journey through the changing ways of living towards modernity in parallel with the political and social transformations of Western society. The right to choose. The elitist pursuit of design d'art vis-à-vis the inclusive populism of IKEA, written by David Palterer, outlines the panorama of design objects from the unique museum piece to the products that together propose a real domestic lifestyle that is pleasant and reassuring. Inside the houses: 1000 Italian houses in 2000 by Patrizia Scarzella, is the report of the first photographic investigation into the reality of Italian homes carried out on a statistical sample that reflects the social composition of the country. Anthropological vision of new ways of living by Lucia Bocchi is a review of the prevailing ethnographies and theories regarding living, a topic of interest for cultural anthropology involved in the new kinship studies that have transformed society over the last twenty years. Mauro Cenci's book space is a fresco of his photographic project on private “Domestic Libraries”, almost always portrayed as alter egos of their owners, 'set up' with postcards, photos, small collections, sculptures, objects of affection and memory. Massimo Morisi's urban landscape as 'home' is a dialogue between two dimensions of living: the worlds and experiences that the city and collective life contemplate and nourish as a physiological source of human landscape and the interior meanings that domestic walls define as their own landscape no less physiological than our existence. “...For the beauty of urban living”. An interview by Massimo Morisi between the utopian and the pragmatic with Silvia Viviani, councilor for urban planning and environmental policies of the Municipality of Livorno on the right to housing as an essential right and on housing policies, crucial issues for local administrations. “This second volume – writes Pierluigi Bemporad, President of Selfhabitat Cultura, in the introduction – does not propose solutions (the lack of certainties is one of the most significant stimuli in the history of human thought), but we believe we have offered some further contribution to a debate that has its roots in the centuries and some insight into a complex and lively discussion”.
