IT capitalism [2]: academia (G. Lins Ribeiro)

ByEdward Eggleston

“A more sophisticated understanding of intellectual cooperation and innovation calls for the understanding of great sociological, economic, political and technological forces surrounding them.

Lins Ribeiro)

This definition contains a basic contradiction: the primitive is admired and even seen as a model, but at the same it is also presumed to be inferior, because it is not fully developed. This paradox makes primitivism a concept that is both intellectually and morally complex.” (Cramer and Grant)
