Regenerating Community, Territory, Voices

The two volumes collect many of the papers presented and discussed in the XXV AIA Conference (15-17 September 2011) hosted at the temporary location of the Facoltà di Lettere e Filosofia in Bazzano, some kilometres away from the earthquake city of L’Aquila. Also in their written form, every single keynote lecture, paper and/or poster illustrating the multiple relations between traumatic events of distant and recent pasts and the urge to ‘start again’, to reconstruct, re-formulate and reshape discursive spaces are perfectly resonant with the ‘regeneration’ it was hoped could soon happen to the community, territory, and voices of L’Aquila.
