  • Saint Mark's Square As Contested Political Space
    SAINT MARK’S SQUARE AS CONTESTED POLITICAL SPACE: PROTESTING CRUISE TOURISM IN VENICE [ReceiveD 21st October 2020; accepteD February 21st 2021 – DOI: 10.21463/shima.119] AlexanDer Araya López Ca’ Foscari University, Venice < [email protected]> ABSTRACT: Saint Mark’s Square is unquestionably the most famous tourist attraction in Venice, a piazza characterised by its complex history, unique aesthetics anD many allusions to power (given its proximity to the Doge’s Palace anD Saint Mark’s Basilica). This square is the largest open space in the city anD while it is routinely crowDeD with tourists from all over the worlD, political Demonstrations have been prohibiteD since 1997. This article explores Saint Mark’s Square as a contested political space by focusing on the many local struggles against cruise tourism in Venice anD its lagoon. InsteaD of constituting an ‘apolitical’ space, the preferreD uses given to the square by local authorities and tourism stakeholders are manifestly ‘political’, producing a space of leisure and consumption that benefits the economic logic behinD the ‘normal’ functioning of the piazza. Other alternative social anD political uses of the square are not only DiscourageD but banned, which brings into Discussion the Lefebvrian notion of the right to the city: who has access to the centre as a (political) privilegeD space? The article examines protest acts undertaken by the collective No Grandi Navi, particularly the political events that took place after the MSC Opera collision with another tourist vessel anD the Dock in June 2019. KEYWORDS: public sphere, protest, cruise tourism, policing, urban spaces. IntroDuction: Global mass tourism anD Venice as a ‘tourist’ city In June 2020, while the coronavirus panDemic forceD many cities anD tourist Destinations to impose harsh lockDowns, Dozens of cruise ships were stranDeD at Manila Bay in the Philippines (Fonbuena anD McCormick, 2020).

Dalla venezia3 'Southern Dept. of Oceanology, Gelendzhik-7, Krasnodar district, 353470 Russia 'Istituto Centrale per la Ricerca Scientifica e Tecnologica Applicata al Mare (ICRAM), viale della Stazione 5, 1-30015 Chioggia, Italy "stituto di Biologia del Mare, CNR, Riva Sette Martiri 1364, 1-30122 Venice, Italy ABSTRACT: The parameters of the structure and functioning of the ecosystem in the lagoon of Venice (Italy) were estimated in September-October 1993 at 36 stations. Phytoplankton was dominated by its nano- and pico-fractions, which comprised 60 to 99":# of the total phytoplankton biomass. Phytoplank- ton wet biomass varied between 100 and 600 mg m-.' and its primary production between 30 and 90 mg C m ' d.' The nume~icalabundance of bactel-ioplankton (3 to 6 X 10" cells ml-'l and its wet biomass (0.3to 1 g m-" was 2 to 3 times greater than in adjacent waters of the Adriatic. Bacterial production was 20 to 40 mg C m-'d.'. hdicrozooplankton was dominated by cillates with blo~nassesof 30 to 700 mg m-', while the density of rotifers and nauplii was low. The composition of mesozooplankton resembled that of the Adriatic complex only near the port entrances connecting the lagoon to the sea, while in polluted areas it was drastically depleted. Its average wet biomass was 80 to 300 mg m-', attaming 700 to 1100 mg m-' near the port entrances.
