Abstract: "'Cultural Commons' refer to cultures located in time and space – either physical or virtual - and shared and expressed by a socially cohesive community. A Cultural Common is a system of intellectual resources available on a given geographical or virtual area and could be thought as the evolution of the more traditional concept of cultural district or cultural cluster. Ideas , creativity and styles of a community, traditional knowledge, credence, rites and customs, shared and participated productive techniques define a Cultural Commons. Some examples are: the image of a city, a local language, the brand of Barolo wine, an artistic movement, user generated contents on the web, traditional knowledge held by indigenous communities, and the creativity expressed by designers’ and artist’s communities. In the first part the paper will propose a definition of what Cultural Commons are. In the second part evolutionary paths will be discussed highlighting the different effects that these different paths may have on the performance of the individuals agents who are part of the community."
