Aim of this international workshop is to analyse Cultural Commons from a number

of different perspectives.
Cultural Commons refer to cultures located in time and space - either physical or

virtual - and shared and expressed by a socially cohesive community.

Some examples are: the cultural image of a city, the brand of Chianti wine from

Tuscany, artistic movements, User Generated Contents on the web, traditional

knowledge held by indigenous communities and the creativity expressed by

designers' communities.
 

How can a Cultural Commons be defined?
Which are their peculiar characteristics?
How do they work?
To explore these questions the workshop will be divided into the following sections:

Some travel and accommodation funds for selected papers will be available.
