The dialogue with Marco Armiero reconstructs the evolution of the Wasteocene as a lens for rereading pollution and urban marginality, avoiding a rigid split between material and symbolic dimensions. Discussion of the waste / munnezza pair highlights translation as political negotiation of lexicons; choosing waste (also a verb) frames wasting as a process more than the vernacular munnezza allows. This implies an implicit distinction between interventions affecting environmental matrices and perceptual–cultural actions, often intertwined. Convivial practices (festivals, music, storytelling) function as infrastructures that slow social erosion and enable the reuse of degraded sites. The engaged researcher’s stance is cast as situated mediation, resisting the conversion of local experience into extracted symbolic capital. The result is a genealogy of Italian environmental justice showing socioecological transitions built through the incremental accumulation of heterogeneous gestures rather than linear projects.
Keywords: Wasteocene; urban ecologies; socioecological transiction.
