Abstract
Abstract
Canonicity might seem to be the opposite of creativity. Yet, cultures and communities, hence any political realm, depends on strategies of simplification and fixation. Canons do have the role of creating habits and “normality” through which individuals feel to belong to a same world. That counts explicitly in the academic world where researchers, precisely in order to operate inventively, canot but rely on conventions and canonicity.
