Traveling between Naples (Italy) and Agbogbloshie (Ghana), science fiction and epidemic outbreaks, this Element will take the readers into the bowels of the Wasteocene, but it will also indicate the commoning practices which are dismantling it.

The book explores the intricate relationship between Italian mountains and national identity, revealing how state regimes since 1861 have transformed these landscapes into symbols of nationalism. It examines the dual narrative of military conquest and ecological change, highlighting the impact of World War I and Fascism on mountain communities. The politicization of mountains peaked under the Fascist regime, which exploited their resources while promoting ruralism. The narrative shifts to the modern era, where tourism has reshaped the mountains, blending natural parks with ski resorts.
