Taken literarly
The authors revisit the evolution of regulation of ownership in the field of intellectual production and housing as two examples of the historical dead-end in which we find ourselves.
Universal Basic Income or Universal Basic Services?
Some people think universal basic income is a utopian impossibility. Others think it’s dangerous. So there’s a proposal for another solution: universal basic services. Instead of giving people money, why not guarantee all of the public services they need to live a full life?
The Wealth of the Commons. A World beyond Market and State
The book seeks to show the range of enclosures of the commons now underway, theoretical approaches to understanding the commons, and specific projects that use commons principles to generate, protect and share resources.
“Being in Common” Theorizing Artistic Collaboration
Inspired by in-depth interviews with members of the international Brussels dance community and the work of some of the authors associated with autonomous Marxism (P. Virno, A. Negri, G. Agamben), the practice of collaboration within contemporary dance is elucidated from a theoretical point of view. Like other forms of creative or immaterial labour, artistic collaborations mobilize various generic competences and invoke in an often implicit way a cultural common or series of conventions.
The Making of the Knowledge Commons: From Lobsters to Universities
The first part is a discussion of the typical difficulties encountered in the making of commons in general. In the second part he analyses a number of typical problems that the constituent community of the knowledge commons, especially universities, their faculties and students, must face in preventing a “tragedy of the knowledge commons.”
Društveno prirodno dobro
Tema teksta je odnos levice prema prirodnim resursima u kontekstu održivijeg razvoja ljudskog društva koje neće biti fokusirano na profit nego na potrebe ljudi.
Social movements as legislators. The making of bottom up institutions of the commons.
Tema predavanja je konstrukcija pravnih institucija kroz društvene pokrete.
Production and Distribution of the Common. A Few Questions for the Artist
By connecting economics, politics and aesthetics and analysing their relations, Hardt arrives at questions concerning the role of the artist and the meaning of his or her work in the distribution of the common.
Pravo na grad
Anri Lefebvre u ovom tekstu predlaže transdukciju, ekspermentalnu utopiju kao mentalne postupke za osmišljavanje novog humanizma i novog grada. Pravo na urbani žvot može da stvori samo radnička klasa i za to su joj potrebni politički program urbane reforme i urbanistički projekti.
Jugoslovensko radničko samoupravljanje
Ovo je transkript dela intervjua koji je snimljen u Beogradu 2003. godine. "Jugoslovensko samoupravljanje je bilo kako društvena, tako i nacionalna laboratorija. U društvenom smislu, to je bio eksperiment nastao pod uticajem raznih ideja: nasleđe Pariske komune, nasleđe srpske socijalne demokratije sa kraja devetnaestog veka, zaostavština anarhije, koja je kasnije bila veoma važna u kritici staljinizma. Idejni sadržaji anarhije i trockizma su bili sastavni elementi ideologije Titove partije, jer su koristili u kritici staljinizma. Sa druge strane, kao što sam već naglasio, sistem jugoslovenskog samoupravljanja je isto tako bio i nacionalna, čak nadnacionalna laboratorija. To je bio režim, u kome su veoma različite nacije mirno živele, gde je funkcionisala nadnacionalna ekonomija, gde je nadnacionalni vođa bio veoma popularan - od Makedonije do Slovenije."
Commons Space: The City as Commons
Stavrides appeals for a new understanding of common space not only as something that can be governed and open to all, but as an essential aspect of our world that expresses, encourages, and exemplifies new forms of social relations and shared experiences.
Common Space as Threshold Space: Urban Commoning in Struggles to Re-appropriate Public Space
This paper will explore contemporary practices of urban commoning while attempting to construct a theoretical argument on the inherently emancipating potentialities of common space.
The Limits of Eco-Localism: Scale, Strategy, Socialism
If 'place' and 'local space' are where the 'tangible solidarities' necessary to build an alternate way of life, and an anti-neoliberal politics, must form, then we cannot avoid confronting the systematic obstacles that have to be overcome in realizing such a project. Claims that sustainable local ecologies can serve as the foundation for political action and social alternatives at least require careful scrutiny.
Governing the Commons: The Evolution of Institutions for Collective Action (Political Economy of Institutions and Decisions)
The governance of natural resources used by many individuals in common is an issue of increasing concern to policy analysts. Both state control and privatization of resources have been advocated, but neither the state nor the market have been uniformly successful in solving common pool resource problems. After critiquing the foundations of policy analysis as applied to natural resources, Elinor Ostrom here provides a unique body of empirical data to explore conditions under which common pool resource problems have been satisfactorily or unsatisfactorily solved.
Marx’s Ecology: Materialism and Nature
By reconstructing a materialist conception of nature and society, Marx's Ecology challenges the spiritualism prevalent in the modern Green movement, pointing toward a method that offers more lasting and sustainable solutions to the ecological crisis.
Exploring Commons Theory for Principles of a Socialist Governmentality
The authors develop the theory of the commons by strengthening its link with a Marxist critique of capitalism. In order to do so, they draw parallels between the work of Elinor Ostrom on principles of sustainable governance and Branko Horvat’s theory of self-management developed in the context of socialist Yugoslavia.
The commons as a radical democratic project
My intention is to say something about the potential of the commons as a political project.
Umetnik/ca u (ne)radu
Istraživačko-umetnički projekat Umetnik/ca u (ne)radu (održan u Novom Sadu između 2010. i 2012.godine) obuhvatao je seriju javnih razgovora, izložbi i publikacija, fokusiranih na istraživanje umetničkih i društvenih praksi koje kritički reflektuju savremeni pojam rada – uslove u kojima se rad ostvaruje, nove društvene potrebe i odnose koje rad proizvodi. Takođe, cilj je bio elaboriranje relativno neistraženog polja istorije umetnosti koje obuhvata prakse koje predstavljaju ekstrem na liniji ovog istraživanja – odluke umetnika/ca da napuste bavljenje umetnošću i produkciju umetničkih dela, propagirajući koncept nerada i „besposličarenja“ (idleness, slacking).
Odrastnički turizam
Kada je u pitanju turizam, postoji jako mali broj radova koji spajaju oblasti odrasta i turizama. Odrast u turizmu zahteva radikalnu promenu turističkih obrazaca. Odrastničke prakse u turizmu povezane su uglavnom sa drugim oblicima alternativnog turizma kao što su ekoturizam, održivi turizam, zeleni turizam, spori turizam, turizam u zajednici, turizam u korist siromašnih i fer turizam. Kao rezultat toga, iako možemo zaključiti da postoji primetna konvergencija odrastničkog turizma sa drugim vidovima alternativnog turizma, oni nisu u potpunosti istovetni, razlog tome je što odrast kao pojam objedinjuje sve pozitivne preduslove drugih oblika alternativnog turizma koje pojedini vidovi turizma nemaju.
Proizvodnja među jednakima i siromaštvo mreža
Autor se zalaže za definiciju proizvodnje među jednakima kroz prizmu činjenica da nezavisni proizvođači koriste zajedničku zalihu proizvodnih sredstava.
Novi oblici samoupravljanja: radničko akcionarstvo i drugi oblici demokratskih preduzeća
Kada govorimo o savremenim borbama protiv komodifikacije rada i svakodnevnog života, te za uspostavljanje drugačijeg – pravednijeg, humanijeg i održivijeg – ekonomskog sistema, ne možemo, a da se ne osvrnemo na iskustvo samoupravnog socijalizma u SFRJ kao jedinstvenog istorijskog primera široke primene principa ekonomske demokratije sa ciljem ostvarivanja većeg učešća zaposlenih u donošenju ekonomskih odluka, decentralizacije vlasništva i vantržišne društvene reprodukcije. Kritički pogled na ovaj period može predstavljati putokaz za osmišljavanje savremenih modela i sistema koji umesto generisanju profita teže zadovoljenju potreba društva (i životne sredine).
Pobunjeni gradovi
Ovde bih želeo da istražim jedan drugi vid kolektivnog prava – pravo na grad u kontekstu oživljavanja interesovanja za ideje Anrija Lefevra o tom pitanju, kao i pojavu svih vrsta društvenih pokreta širom sveta koji sada traže takvo pravo.
State power and Commoning: Transcending problematic relationship
Izveštaj razmatra odnosn države i zajedničkih dobara. Učesnici radionice zastupaju tezu da država i zajednička dobra mogu plodno da koegzistiraju ako zajednica rekonceptualizuje državu iz perspektive zajedničkog dobra. Država može da podrži zajednička dobra i postkapitalističke oblike upravljanja.
Vazduh kao zajedničko dobro
Zagađenje vazduha dolazi iz različitih izvora i oni su se kroz istoriju menjali, kao i njegova koncentracija, ali uzrok je uvek ostajao isti, a to je društvo u kojem živimo. U ovoj knjizi obrađeni su istorijski nivo zagađenja vazduha, trenutni kvalitet vazduha, kao i društveno-ekonomski razlozi i dominantni narativi koji doprinose lošijem kvalitetu vazduha. Čist vazduh i zdrava životna sredina morali bi da budu zajednička dobra koja su svima dostupna, a do toga je moguće doći pre svega politizacijom ove borbe i društvenim promenama.
Heritage as common(s). Common(s) as heritage
In 2014 "the Urban Heritage Research Cluster as part of Critical Heritage Studies, University of Gothenburg, organized seven seminars under the heading: “Heritage as Common(s) – Commons as Heritage, or HAC-CAH. The seminars have brought us to places like Ground Zero in New York, a creek in Olympia, Café The Swan in Amsterdam, Ellis Creek Water Recycling Facility in Petaluma, St Ann´s Church in Manchester, Central Park in New York, the Old city of Jerusalem, Stortorget in Malmö, the Al-Qaryon Square in Nablus, and Gezi Park in Istanbul. We have probed the notion of friendship, scrutinized the paradigm shifts from reproduction to production, explored the tension between top-down and bottom-up heritage. We have enjoyed the potential of biological commons and have looked into the different tempi and temporalities of commoning and heritage works. The seminar series has originated and evolved along the path we set up for the Urban Heritage Research Cluster in the start: “the city as an interface of different temporalities – i.e. past events, dreams for the future and contemporary constraints – and heritage as intermingled in many different urban realities and entangled in issues of aesthetics, ethics, space and power…”."
Otvorena kultura i priroda mreža
Knjiga obuhvata 11 tekstova Feliksa Štaldera.Prvih sedam se bavi različitim aspektima nastanka i kritikom “otvorenih kultura”, tj. novih procesa u kulturi inspirisanih Pokretom za kompjuterski softver slobodnog i otvorenog kôda. Dok je nedavna praksa ovog pokreta važna referenca, kulturne prakse koje su otvorene za slobodnu rekonfiguraciju su, naravno, mnogo starije, a esej Kulture bez roba ih prati u prošlost sve do dadaizma početkom XX veka. Druga grupa eseja se bavi karakterom mrežnog oblika organizacije, često se pozivajući na koncepte “prostora tokova” (Manuel Castells), tj. na materijalnu infrastrukturu za organizaciju translokalnosti, zasnovanu na digitalnim informacionim tokovima.
Becoming Common: Precarization as political constituting
"The discourse on precarization that has emerged in the past decade, primarily in Europe, rests on an extremely complex understanding of social insecurity and its productivity. The various strands of this discourse have been brought together again and again in the context of the European precarious movement organised under EuroMayDay....What is unusual about this social movement is not only the way in which under its auspices new forms of political struggle are tested and new perspectives of precarizatin developed; rather - and it is striking in relation to other social movements - it is how it has queered a seemingly disparate fields of the cultural and political again and again. In the past decade, conversations concerning both the (partly subversive) knowledge of the precarious and a search for commons (in order to constitute the political), has conspicuously taken place more in art institution than in social, political, or even academic contexts."
Space, Power and the Commons. The struggle for alternative futures
Providing a comprehensive introduction to the diverse ways in which ideas of the commons are being conceptualised and enacted both throughout the social sciences and in practical action, this book foregrounds the commons as an arena for political thought and sets an agenda for future research.
