Alfabeto Pandemico: A Collective Vocabulary for the Post-Pandemic World
Alfabeto Pandemico, a new vocabulary featuring over 500 terms that redefines post-pandemic language, was launched by Lo Stato dei Luoghi, Italy's inaugural national network for cultural space regeneration. Developed by Emmanuele Curti and Ilda Curti, it encourages input from artists and thinkers. Originally set to be formalized in Milan on February 29, 2020, the network discovered that the lockdown led to increased connectivity. A Dutch foundation's involvement suggests a move towards European growth. Sociolinguist Federico Faloppa will explore semantic fields for a follow-up project. In Chiaravalle, the Terzo Paesaggio initiative, established in 2015 by Marta Bertani and Andrea Perini, created Lessico di Chiaravalle, engaging the community and providing support for vulnerable residents while seeking recognition from policymakers.
