"Periferie plurali: il caso di Scampia (Napoli) oltre gli stigmi"

In the analysis of the relationship between social and spatial dynamics, the
peripheries assume, from the perspective of social geography, the role of an
ideal laboratory for observing and interpreting the conditions of discomfort and
marginalization. The contribution focuses on Scampia, the northern district
of the city of Naples, which represents, together with other Italian suburbs, a
context where the gaze that is exercised is too often conditioned by a stigma of
decay, also fueled by some media simplifications. Through the reconstruction of
the genesis and history of this district, with the contribution of the various land
surveys carried out, we try to return a more articulated vision.
