Manifesto for Cultural Sustainability (2010)

1. So that we don’t remain silent before the horrible lack of ideas and passions that the stupidity of power wants to subject us to

2. so that we stop thinking that bios, intelligent life, the life of rational beings is in anthesis with zoe, our animal life

3. so that our brains are not turned off, suffocatedby the pollution the media system

4. so that the symbolic dimension is recognized as essential in social exchanges and interactions.

5. so that the territorial system can regenerateits identity in a cyclical way

6. so that community is created and recreated

7. so that every person can live following the directionof his own destiny

8 and so that values considered to be shared general convictions assimilated by individuals(and vice versa) can be identified in a dialectic and critical way.

9. for all of these reasons

10. It is necessary that the concept of cultural sustainability be recognized so that civil and political society undertake to guarantee the conditions necessary to produce our ideas, our credos, our art, our symbols and passions. And we do not drown in the spurts of vulgarity, idiocy, morbidity, triviality.
