#25 Innovage
“…that feeling we all have sometimes that everything we say or do is not our own, that we as people are only quotations from our environment, that we are carried along by the merciless stream of history and reality... the complications arise when one tries to give that feeling an identity. I do not think it can be done within a conventional nov...

#20 Home Made
Can you tell us how your blook was created?
The process was different from the traditional route followed by Italian publishing and media. In 2005, we read an inquiry in El País entitled La Generación De Los Mil Euros: young people aged 25-35 forced into temporary jobs with a salary of 1000 euros a month. It was a similar situation to what we h...

#26 Re-Evaluate The Error
Here then is yet another new word, “innovage”, born of the marriage of “innovation” and “vintage”.
It’s really not all that surprising that so many new words are being thrown up every day. “The times they are a-changin’”, as the song goes, and in a really big way, be it in environmental, social, economic, or cultural terms. P...

#25 Innovage
Your professional activity appears to be an excellent example of an ongoing exchange and equilibrium between the great experience you’ve acquired over time and a capacity to adapt to modern-day requirements. How have you managed to achieve such a fine balance, that may be summed up in the term Innovage?
It’s important to understand the element...

#10 Nomadic knowledge
How much, do you feel, does literature contribute to the diffusion of knowledge?
In so far as they represent possible ways of living, mirrors in which to view ourselves, yardsticks that can help us in making choices and taking decisions, works of literature contribute to disseminating knowledge. The make-believe world of literature suggests that ...

#4 Passion
A person is what he is because he has both divine and contingent roots; the divine root, the one of the spirit and the soul, yields a sense that is beyond earthly reality, energy and meaningfulness, while the divine root relates to the history and experiences that the person develops and embodies during his lifetime. This, in short, is one of the p...

#21 Senti-mentally
Odifreddi, you’re known to be a scientist with a strong penchant for art and music. Is there any room for intuition in the scientific profession?
In any field it takes time for intellectual capacities to grow and develop fully. I’d say it’s the usual ninety percent perspiration and ten percent inspiration, but in science that ten percent is...

#21 Senti-mentally
In front a cup of coffee.
For me, the expression of emotion is never calculated.
I’ll wager that emotion is always there if the work is motivated by pleasure and desire. Since I often have too many ideas or desires, I usually start each project with endless lists, which I then cut into little strips and arrange in order of preference to make ...
