Territory

ASOC territory extends beyond political borders into rural areas which face similar challenges. What do a textile factory in Royans-Vercors region in France, a nunnery in Belmonte, Italy and a cheese factory in Thesprotia region in Greece have in common? As territory we consider not just a physical space but rather a complex web of inter-relationships that includes human and non-human agents.

France

Greece

Thesprotia region in Northern Greece is suffering population shrinkage, and it shows a variety of self-organised initiatives lead by women.

Italy

The Belmondo project aims to bridge cultural divisions between old and new populations, architecture, and customs in Belmonte Calabro.
