technogenesis constitute a

complex adaptive system, with

the technologies constantly

changing as well as bringing

about change in those whose

lives are enmeshed with them.”

“Casualization profoundly

affects the person who

suffers it: by making the

whole future uncertain, it

prevents all rational

anticipation, and, in

particular, the basic belief

and hope in the future that

one needs in order to be

able to rebel, especially

collectively, against

present conditions, even

the most intolerable.”

Pierre Bourdieu (1930-2002)

concluding note:

on entrepreneurialism

“We are called to believe today that

security is disempowering, disabling,

breeding the resented 'dependency'

and altogether constraining the

human agents' freedom.

What is passed over in silence is

that acrobatics and rope-walking

without a safety net are an art that

few people can master and a

recipe for disaster for all the rest.”
