Il Multiverso per la narrazione dei territori. Cambiamenti, genere, migrazioni

Description:

The geographical implications of the Metaverse are many. The Metaverse as an all-encompassing environment, rendered entirely in real time on a large scale and open to all, is little more than an idea. A complex, expensive and most likely unsustainable idea from an energetic point of view: a place capable of creating identities, rather than conveying them, of founding new personal and social relationships, of modifying attitudes and expectations, of ensuring behaviours and norms. And certainly, Geography cannot fail to question the civilization of the virtual simulacrum, in all its economic, political, digital and demographic aspects. After all, if it is true that being equals being perceived, the real challenge will be how to make the Metaverse real.
