The purpose of this essay is to suggest an interpretation and, consequently, a definition of the pivotal concepts of ‘mobility’ and ‘proximity’ on the basis of Karl Marx’s concept of ‘socialization of work’, Carl Schmitt’s conception of the elementary dialectic between ‘land and sea’, and Michel Foucault’s theorization of ‘bio-power’. The general aim inherent in this operation is to contribute to the delineation of a set of epistemological and heuristic categories able to interpret the most relevant social, political, and economic phenomena distinguishing our epoch. In particular, herein we want to highlight the ongoing emergence of a new dimension of spatiality, characterized by a new relational status and by novel criteria and dynamics of separation and exclusion, mobility and resistance, inclusion and articulation – again, at the social, political, and economic levels.

Abstract
The purpose of this essay is to suggest an interpretation and, consequently, a definition of the pivotal concepts of ‘mobility’ and ‘proximity’ on the basis of Karl Marx’s concept of ‘socialization of work’, Carl Schmitt’s conception of the elementary dialectic between ‘land and sea’, and Michel Foucault’s theorization of ‘bio-power’. The general aim inherent in this operation is to contribute to the delineation of a set of epistemological and heuristic categories able to interpret the most relevant social, political, and economic phenomena distinguishing our epoch. In particular, herein we want to highlight the ongoing emergence of a new dimension of spatiality, characterized by a new relational status and by novel criteria and dynamics of separation and exclusion, mobility and resistance, inclusion and articulation – again, at the social, political, and economic levels.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
