La prudenza geografica: mappe, carte, governi.

Translating space into geometrical shapes, or drawing maps, is the way humanity designs
its surrounding territory. These forms are determined by a sum of knowledge
and hypothesis, of what has been already conquered and what is yet to conquer, by
alternating fear and curiosity. This is the process that controls the geographic image
of our world. Behind this process is a geography of the mind, that translates these approximations
into certainty. The essay will analyze the relation between the sense of
familiarity with the world and the evolution that forms of life have undergone with
Modern anthropocentrism.
