| Abstract | This session intends to investigate the spatialisation of networks and networks analysis. While pondering the underpinnings of this conceptual borrowing, this aims at shedding a light on the logics of the dense and highly specific urban grid of central - northern Italy. From multiple standpoints, it will question how power shaped space through networks, be they purely spatial or human which got spatialised. This shaping or framing ability of power, here urban, appears as a guideline for this session, as it shaped the hydrographic networks of the Po basin, turned the fama into a judicial truth, or framed the identity of Pavia under Milanese rule. |
