Muovendo da alcuni fondamentali accadimenti internazionali, Nemanja Cvijanović restituisce una personale visione della geografia politica ed economica contemporanea. Da un lato la sparizione violenta di alcuni protagonisti controversi della storia del ‘900 (Yasser Arafat, Saddam Hussein, Muammar Gheddafi), dall’altro le resistenze alla creazione di nuovi modelli politici provenienti da processi partecipativi spontanei transnazionali. A fronte del perdurare di forme di totalitarismo che la pervasività dei poteri economici finisce per rinsaldare, assistiamo all’involuzione delle democrazie, alla decadenza degli stati nazionali, alla crescita di disuguaglianze e conflitti sociali. Nemanja Cvijanović teorizza una sorta di tettonica politica globale interrogandosi sulle dinamiche che la governano e lo fa con la determinazione e la forza che da sempre contraddistinguono la sua ricerca. Dichiaratamente provocatorio, Progetto Anonimo ha l’obiettivo primo di suscitare un confronto aperto e il dibattito sul nostro tempo.
Moving from some basic international events, Nemanja Cvijanović returns a personal view on the contemporary political and economic geography. On one hand the violent disappearance of some controversial characters of the 20th century’s history (Yasser Arafat, Saddam Hussein, Muammar Gheddafi), on the other hand the resistences to the creation of new political models coming from transnational spontaneous participatory processes. Against the totalitarianism’s forms persisting which the economic powers pervasiveness finishes to consolidate, we assist to the democracies involution, to the national states decadence, to the inequalities and social conflicts’ growth. Nemanja Cvijanović theorizes a sort of global political tectonics, wondering about the dynamics which rule it and he does it with the determination and the strenght distinguish his research. Expressly provocative, the Progetto Anonimo’s first aim is to generate an open confrontation and a debate about our time.
