Milano è il laboratorio del capitalismo italiano, con Demetrio Marra

Sara Manisera meets Demetrio Marra, professor, poet, and political activist, to discuss the transformations of our cities and the concrete possibilities of building spaces for sharing and caring. Drawing on his daily experience teaching and activism in Milan, Demetrio leads us on a profound reflection on the need to overcome isolating individualism and embrace a fully collective dimension. We discuss how our cities are experiencing intense processes of gentrification and militarization, dynamics that tend to push poverty out of sight of urban centers. How do market logics generate these processes? What impact does the cultural hegemony of these models have on our daily lives? Can the concept of mutualism be a response capable of generating real communities? --- 🍄 You're on Amanita's channel, a voice that tells stories to inspire radical, yet gentle, change. 🔔 Subscribe for more videos like these.    / @canalediamanita   Follow Voice Over Foundation https://www.voiceoverfoundation.org/i...
