ENGLISH ABSTRACT of 0802vitae.pdf

I was born in 1948; Scientific Lyceum Messedaglia in Verona, Sociology in Trento, Science and Technology Policy at SPRU with Giovanni Dosi, Chris Freeman, Nick von Tunzelman and the Maestro of generations: Keith Pavitt. I have 2 daughters (Tania, Margherita) and 2 grandsons (Niccolò, Andrea).

I am an Economics of knowledge and Regional Science expert: after Venice, Padova and abroad, now teaching in Verona, Italy (Economia dell’innovazione; Economia dell’innovazione e dei trasporti;  Economia industriale internazionale). Writing a book on Marx and  the contemporary economy, creativity and subcrime, i.e. the extraction of absolute and relative surplus value nowadays, from Silicon Valley to Shenzen.

I am a member of the: Department of Economics (Verona); Editorial Board of “Economia e Sociedade” (Campinas, SP, Brasil); Free Software Foundation; MoveOn.org (joined April 2008); regional science associations (RSAI-ERSA_AISRe), Società Italiana degli Economisti.

The Rolling Stone magazine certificates what is public domain: the album and turning point of my life, love, as well as of contemporary art and society - has always been and still is, from now reborn Liverpool: Beatles (1967), Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band. 

1967: the year the world  turned upside down (Chris Hill, 1972) - in a subjectivist perspective and irreversibly, for us all forever; at year close, Guy published La Société du spectacle. I recommend a 1983  interview of  Henri Lefebvre (urban scholar and marxist philosopher) on Guy Debord.  I never understood  the silly media celebrating 1968: what? who? why?  We already celebrated 1967 in 2007, and that’s all, folks! They’ve a one ear jet lag.

Living painters: Anselm Kiefer after Bilbao 2007, recently in Milan at the Triennale space, Bovisa (”Am I a fascist? That’s very important. You cannot answer so quickly. Authority, competition, superiority... I wanted to paint the experience and the answer“, talking of his early work) and Pierre Soulages: “When light is reflected on black, it transforms and transmutes it. It opens up a mental field all of its own.” More in:
