FINANCIAL CRISIS and "Economic Community"
The process of accumulation and exploitation contemporary, cognitive-relational, relies increasingly on the use of cognitive and spatial commons. The same dynamic productivity tends to depend on the evolution of new types of economies of scale, marked from "economies of scale and social dynamics: learning and networking.
These are two processes that have to do with cognitive elements and spatial (virtual or not), who question not only the traditional ownership structure of Fordist-based public-private dichotomy, but also the very foundations of economic theory, whether liberal or not.
At the same time, the process of financial activities has made the central role of financial markets as a new generation of development and production of linguistic conventions "that make the money a" common good endogenous, "that increasingly escapes the control imposed by the rights of state seigniorage . It therefore becomes increasingly necessary to investigate more rigorously, the concept of common good, identify the boundaries and features and, above all, to analyze how the human work that generates the "common" is increasingly subject to a process of "abstraction "by capital.

ENVIRONMENTAL CRISIS AND "COMMON ECOLOGICAL
Starting from the assumption are far from obvious and, therefore the global ecological crisis or the crisis of the very conditions that have so far allowed the reproduction of life within the biosphere, can no longer be considered a "second contradiction" with respect to capital conflict / work but requires conceptual tools e analitici che permettano di coglierne appieno portata ed effetti, si propone di articolare questo iniziale momento di lavoro in due parti.
In mattinata si tratterà di puntualizzare la lettura della crisi come “concatenamento sistemico”. Nell’approssimare una definizione di “comune ecologico” si cercherà di verificare se e in quale misura possa essere considerata superata una lettura del ciclo capitalistico, e degli antagonismi che lo mettevano in modo, attraverso lo schema di successione lineare tra lotte-crisi-ristrutturazione-sviluppo. Dal punto di vista concettuale si proporrà di superare la rigida distinzione tra un “comune naturale” e un “comune artificiale”. A partire dal superamento delle contrapposizione tra paradigmi della scarsità e della ricchezza, saranno ripercorse criticamente le diverse culture politiche che su questi temi si sono confrontate (sostenibilità, decrescita, ecologia politica).
Nel pomeriggio si propone che questo piano di discussione concettuale sia verificato sul terreno dell’analisi della crisi energetica nella crisi globale. Sarà affrontato il rapporto tra fonti energetiche e modello di accumulazione capitalistica e tra produzione energetica e forma politica command. In particular, since the prevailing crisis caused by the use of fossil fuels, we will discuss the geopolitical implications and prospects for long-term nature of real or an illusion of a "green economy", based on the wide use of renewable sources, as the flywheel of a new phase of expansion, the effective area of \u200b\u200bpractice of 'energy independence.
