| description | Venice was one of the first cities in Europe to be in lockdown. The article proposes to observe this unique moment “out of tourism” from the angle of pharmacology. The concept of pharmakon is borrowed from the philosopher Bernard Stiegler as a tool for analysing tourism from its ambivalence, both remedy, poison and scapegoat. The in-situ observation of the one hundred days of the first lockdown relates to places, people and stories that have become visible: nature, mendicanti (beggars), pendolari (commuters) and public space. As the effects of over-tourism have disappeared, this moment out of tourism has made manifest the causes of Venice’s heavy dependence on tourism, until then little discussed, such as the property market, tariff discrimination and tourism intermediation. These observations offer a different perspective on an over-tourism whose mordi fuggi (who bite and flee) would be the main cause and which the city wishes to limit through the introduction of a city entrance tax. |
