Subject: [nexa] The Cultural Commons and Social Justice: Foundations for a New European Humanism

The European construction is at a crossroads. Faced with a major global
crisis that challenges its very existence, it must redefine itself by
adopting new directions for its policies. These orientations can no
longer be expressed negatively, as the avoidance of war, or as the
rejection of National egoisms. They must install a new positive agenda,
in which European citizens, and in particular the youth, can recognize
what they have already started to build, and which they can trust as
enabling them to build it further.

While the finance-dominated economy is sinking and pulling societies
downwards, citizens, advocacy groups and intellectuals have started
building new agendas. There will be many paths opened, and this text
explores but one of them: the recognition that in the digital era, a
huge share of knowledge production, cultural creativity and public
_expression_ occurs in a non-market sphere, where the products of
activities are placed under commons statutes. Recognizing it, we outline
how the cultural commons can be one of the laboratories of the
exploration of a new humanism, and under which conditions it can
contribute to social justice.
