During the last years, several Italian planners have considered the concept of urban transition only in a positive way, like something able to produce new social practices and new paradigms to represent reality. The aim of this paper is to analyses the transition effects in the metropolitan area of Bari (a large town located in Southern Italy). Since this thesis takes the cue from the results of recent studies regarding the negative effects on the affective tone produced by the botulinum toxin used in plastic surgery, this paper argues that public works are performed according to an aesthetic view that denies the value of beauty as sociability. In few words, the transition fights the affectivity, because the transition determines a new normative tension that tries to reconfigure the human being and his forms (feelings, emotions, values and languages).

Abstract
During the last years, several Italian planners have considered the concept of urban transition only in a positive way, like something able to produce new social practices and new paradigms to represent reality. The aim of this paper is to analyses the transition effects in the metropolitan area of Bari (a large town located in Southern Italy). Since this thesis takes the cue from the results of recent studies regarding the negative effects on the affective tone produced by the botulinum toxin used in plastic surgery, this paper argues that public works are performed according to an aesthetic view that denies the value of beauty as sociability. In few words, the transition fights the affectivity, because the transition determines a new normative tension that tries to reconfigure the human being and his forms (feelings, emotions, values and languages).I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
