Moving Landscapes

The word transizióne derives from the concept of transit, crossing. Transition refers to history and to human and social evolution, to the periods when new social forms were developed, along with new conceptions and cultural productions. Transition is also the spiritual restlessness that characterizes the phases of passage, where created are temporary forms of life, with a limited duration, that can also remain temporary, never consolidating. At times transition is the alteration of a condition of balance, in search of stability, or sudden modulation, which in music occurs between distant tonalities with no intermediate passages. Hence, transition is a term that over time has taken on multiple semantic meanings, each one with its own scientific base, referring to influential metaphysics, accompanied by etyma that clarified the different meanings they assumed each time. The word transition pertains to ecology because this discipline is based on the concept of change.
