- Abstract
The removal of certain bodies (and related uses of space) from the streets of Italian cities questions us about the governance of public space and the urban civic culture that this expresses. The contribution examines the so-called Daspo urbano, the tool for the management of urban security proposed by the well-known Decreto Minniti of 2017. Through a redistribution of power to local administrators, the Daspo works on the purge from the spaces of urban flows of subjects who, although they have not committed crimes, are to be considered inconvenient by their very presence. The monitoring of online news (for sixteen months between 2017 and 2018) allowed an analysis of the tool and the first ways it was applied, highlighting its pliability and effectiveness: through an immaterial delimitation, the Daspo urbano is potentially active everywhere, as a sort of urban panopticon. Conclusions suggest how the management of the Covid19 pandemic has allowed a much wider community to experience – albeit temporarily – the weight of policies that compress the sphere of individual rights and freedoms, no one excluded.
