Abstract

“affidarsi” produced empowerment through the relinquishment of agency. We thought that such dynamics resonated well with what Antoine Hennion (2007; Gomart and Hennion 1999) had shown about amateurs. We then considered “affidarsi” an interesting and positive set of dynamics that could, if proven diffused and frequent, account for the innovations that characterize “Made in Italy". We tried to translate “affidarsi” in English, but we did not find any adequate translation. Nor “to trust” or “to trust in”, nor “to count on”, nor “to rely on”, nor “to have confidence in”. Though all relevant, they do not convey the relinquishment of agency we, as Italian native speakers, sense in “affidarsi”.
