Friday 28 November at 6.30 pm in Terni, at the Bct Municipal Library (Piazza della Repubblica), “Umbria Libri 2025 – States of Nature” hosts the meeting “Capital words. Building communities in the era of waste”organized by Libera and promoted in collaboration with Arpa UmbriaRegional Agency for Environmental Protection.
After the meeting in Perugia in the name of Andrea Camilleri and Giuseppe Fava, Libera proposes a journey into the Wasteocene, our era, the era of waste. An era marked by the continuous production of people, communities and places of waste. A global landfill that we must begin to dismantle. As?
Who decides today what to value and what should be discarded? Can we say that the gap defines us? And which right to work is the one that compromises the right to health? Between ecology and “moral and cultural militancy”, between memories to be preserved and others to be subverted, can narrative action be an active choice of resistance in the face of inequalities?
At the meeting, moderated by Elisabetta Proiettijournalist (Libera Umbria), will interveneMarco Armieroenvironmental historian and professor of History of Science at the University of Barcelona, author of The era of waste. Chronicles from the Wasteocene. The global landfill, Einaudi; Flavia GalloFava Giovani Award 2025 with the text Pasquasia.

The meeting is part of the Libera Umbria format “Capital Words” which seeks to use words as guides and turning points for reading the human being, as an individual and as a community.
