Accepted Paper:
Bottom-up institutional approaches in dealing with Energy Issues in the Veneto Region (EU)
Valentina Bonifacio
(Ca' Foscari University of Venice)
Paper short abstract:
Over the last few years, the EU has created a number of tools aimed at promoting a change in energy production and consumption amongst its citizen. Local institutions and the civil society in the Veneto region (Italy) are working on how to appropriate these tools in order to change their “energy path”.
Paper long abstract:
In February 2012, an interdisciplinary research team sponsored by the IUAV University and composed by urban designers, engineers and one anthropologist has undertaken a research in the Veneto region (Italy). The aim of the research is to re-imagine the territory in order to match some of the objective of the EU Energy Roadmap 2050. My paper aims at exploring the information gaps, power relationships and energy-related discourses from which local actors think about energy and from which they are trying to appropriate the EU policies and opportunities.
