Political Epistemology of Venice’s Hydrology

Abstract

This lesson highlights the political dimension of science-based transformation of the Venice waterscape. Although the history of the territory and the hydrological basin connecting the Alps to the Mediterranean See depended on forms of knowledge (scientific and not) and technological capacities, the history of Anthropocene Venice is not technocentric. Rather, it relates to political decision making, cultural systems, economic practices, ideals and aquatic ways of living and experiencing the territory.
