Containers off the track, abitare la mobilità tra logistica ed emergenza

After going through the milestones that have marked the logistical transformation and the rise of containerisation, the thesis focuses on two different but assimilable emergency contexts for the use of the same matrix and rationality of government. The Roja Camp of Ventimiglia on the Italian-French border, an area dedicated to the containment of transit and asylum seekers managed since 2016 by the Italian Red Cross and the container village of Tolentino in Marche region, strongly affected by the earthquake of 2016/2017, responsible for the reception of displaced persons. The attention is devoted to the dimension of living and the administrative management practices, tracing the violence hidden in a circulatory government that extracts value from mobility of subjects. Two spaces "not completely opened" and "not completely enclosed", expression of a governmentality that exploits the absence of a specific normative provision. Two places where the container becomes the setting of a process of othering, in the time of the emergency.
