Inhabiting the surrounds — a manifesto by the Turin-Lisbon 21

A collective piece just came out in City. It was written by the 15 scholars who took part in the Beyond Inhabitation Lab & Urban Transitions Hub schools in 2024 in Turin and 2025 in Lisbon.

The text is the result of a year of engaged conversations, collective thinking and cross-fertilisation of ideas and experiences, both in person and remotely—an attempt to move beyond critique as a mere description of fault in the face of an excess of crisis, and engage in forms of speculative practice.

You can find it below, or download it on the City website.

Review of Università e Militarizzazione on il Manifesto

IT

Il Manifesto ha pubblicato una bella recensione del mio libro Università e Militarizzazione sul numero di oggi, 11 novembre. Gennaro Avallone, che ringrazio di cuore per averla scritta, dice:

È evidente l’utilità di questo libro, che riavvia, dopo troppo tempo, l’attenzione sul rapporto tra università e mondo militare, sollecitando un lavoro di inchiesta collettiva, con l’obiettivo di capire quanto l’industria militare sia attiva negli atenei e ne stia orientando ricerca e logiche di pensiero.

La recensione si può leggere, in Italiano, a questo link:

Il Manifesto published a nice review of my book University and Militarisation in today’s issue, 11 November. Gennaro Avallone, whom I thank sincerely for writing it, says:

‘The usefulness of this book is evident, as it restarts, after too long, the attention on the relationship between the university and the military world, soliciting a collective enquiry work, with the aim of understanding how much the military industry is active in the universities and is orienting their research and thinking logics.
