between marginality and development:
lack of social and economic conditions, due to production,population, services
strong identity
can a small peculiar identity be valued in a complex and fragmented territorial system?

all places are in facts a layering

We cannot
preserve places without giving any new input;
deny the ongoing process of time flowing;
rely only on memories;
deny memories.

memories as a thick wall in opposition to the flowing of time
Attracted by the future, conditioned by the past, shaped by our decision … that’s where a place is - S. Schinco - M. Schinco
if the continuous flowing of time doesn’t find a
way to penetrate them or to build on them, those walls will in the
end be torn down and destroyed,
losing them and the identity of
place

in these processes, we have to learn which place and how much room should be given to memorieshow to deal with them, in order to take well shaped decisions a powerful example of how we can deal with memories comes from a function that we all share:
Dreaming
there is a general consensus that dreams have to do with the elaboration of memories Attracted by the future, conditioned by the past, shaped by our decision … that’s where a place is - S.

although the manifest content of a dream usually appears chaotic,
Attracted by the future, conditioned by the past, shaped by our decision … that’s where a place is - S. Schinco - M. Schinco
the oneiric function transforms memories in resources available to individuals and communities, especially those memories that are “difficult” to deal with
The Place of Memory and Memory of Place - International Interdisciplinary Conference. 22-24 October 2015, Warsaw
although they conform to different schools of thought,
several contemporary scholars (Funkhouser 2015, Hartmann 2012, Ullman 1987, Schinco 2011,Van De Castle 1994)
share a perspective in which they identify, in the “creative core” of the oneiric function, the active presence of “emotional attractors”

The Place of Memory and Memory of Place - International Interdisciplinary Conference. 22-24 October 2015, Warsaw
they also share the idea of the continuity in the state of consciousness
our creative core is active in dreaming but also in the artistic production and other forms of creativity furthermore, several scholars practicing different disciplines share the claim that our emotions connect us not only to the memories of the past, but to the future also (Damasio 1994, Di Corpo & Vannini 2015, Frankl 1982)

our “creative core” seems to be future-oriented
in the meantime keeps us connected with memoriesit is outfitted to deal with their forces and also with their denied aspects
the tension between memories and the
future not only qualifies the space of dreams
but those of all creative endeavorsAttracted by the future, conditioned by the past, shaped by our decision … that’s where a place is - S.

we are arguing that “space” and “place” are not the same. Since it depends our perception
our movements
our location in diachronic time
a place is something concrete “space”, instead, is a phylosophical and scientific concept

thus, there are many different definitions of space
after our works “Troubled Spaces” (Schinco M., Schinco S., 2014) and “Spazi Travagliati” (Schinco M., Schinco S., 2015)
we intend “space” with a phenomenological bias (Maldiney, 1991)

a metaphor of the conditions qualifying our experiencethe way persons and their worlds are generated altogether with increasing distinctions and complexity depending on their story
on the destination of the place on the awareness of those who interact with the place itself
more or less visible
in the same physical place different spaces always coexistAttracted by the future, conditioned by the past, shaped by our decision … that’s where a place is - S.

all them obey laws of their own and are featured in a peculiar way
nevertheless, they overlap and are interwoven, so to form composed and complex spaces
Gabriel Marcel would call it “the infrahuman fabric”

memories, future and decisions
like our mind does when we dream or when we use our creativity
in order to take well-shaped decisions we should learn
to commend the tension between memories and the future

it is a natural thing to do, since mind works as a continuity, featured by
interaction
fluidity
motion

to commend the tension between memories and the future it is important to qualify the space of decisions in the present:
good exchanges and decisions do not come out of nothing
they require discipline, both within and in the relationships with others

in particular, a good decision needs
a serious perspective about values;
a commitment of one’s feelings to the future;
the capacity of remaining silent and waiting, even for a long time
this is particularly true for what concerns territorial identity processes (cfr. Schinco & Schinco, 2015);
the attitude to communicate frankly but not in a competitive wayAttracted by the future, conditioned by the past, shaped by our decision … that’s where a place is - S.

as a conclusion: we are not proposing razzle-dazzle changes
we just think that we can learn to confront our memories in the frame of being strongly attracted by the future
we claim that this should commend the way we decide and exercise our responsibilities, making use of plenty of our resources, as individuals and as communities as well
