This starting from already codified procedures to communicate, also the development, in times of emergency and crisis. Then pouring it on a territory defined both as a constitutive element of a political system and as an area controlled and defended by men. Finally, as a resource not to be dispersed. But these definitions and procedures that seemed adequate or at least satisfactory today are useless. Strong but necessary declaration to start thinking about "getting to work" in a completely changed global context in a very short time and in new ways. Addressed by combining the different realities of social / human sciences that are part of my current horizon: geography, development and communication. Some initial ideas starting from the area in which I have more experience, communication. We have learned / taught that most of the communication process is extraneous to words (non-verbal communication), often mediated by technological devices (which, not always, increase our potential). We have learned / taught that socio-economic development can, among other things, be only endogenous. We are learning that in the function of the territory there is the possibility and the need for a development, possibly irreversible, based on innovation. How to develop a territory that becomes inhospitable not for the phenomena that we have codified as zero-time and catastrophic (earthquakes, floods, etc.) but for something that is not visible and indefinite. How to communicate based on technological tools that hide / inhibit, even partially, non-verbal communication (the important part). How to communicate on the basis of mandatory technological tools that hide / inhibit, even partially, non-verbal communication (the important part). This work considers possible, by combining the new communication tools with a face-to-face interaction, always necessary and appropriate at the time of the pandemic, the consolidation of an endogenous and irreversible development.
