The book explains how the commons: is an exploding field of DIY innovation ranging from Wikipedia and seed-sharing to community forests and collaborative consumption, and beyond; challenges the standard narrative of market economics by explaining how cooperation generates significant value and human fulfillment; and provides a framework of law and social action that can help us move beyond the pathologies of neoliberal capitalism.
Dijelovi ove knjige možda mogu biti prihvaćeni kao uputnice u alternativne prakse pozajedničenja (commoning) koje u teoriji odrasta (degrowth) označavaju imaginarij izlaska iz okvira kapitalizma.
The book is a collection of texts that present examples of biocultural, neighborhood, collaborative technology, arts and culture, knowledge, infrastruture and other commons.
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?
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).
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.
At the end of February 2017, Pascal Gielen gave this lecture on the relationship between art, politics and the civil space in the creative city, as part of a programme which ran alongside CCA's exhibition Forms of Action (28 Jan - 12 Mar 2017) on socially engaged art practices. The lecture is based on a pilot research project Gielen undertook for the European Cultural Foundation in 2016, and also looks at how activists and creative workers respond to this policy by organising themselves in alternative ways.
Knjiga Postajanje majkom sadrži umetniãke radove, interdisciplinarne studije iz oblasti humanistiãkih i društvenih nauka, kao i tekstove koji se bave promišljanjem liãnog i aktivistiãkog iskustva i rada. Nastajala je u procesu istraživanja koje je sprovedeno kako bi se preispitale institucionalizovane prakse materinstva u savremenom društvu, njihovi efekti u svakodnevnom životu, kao i vidovi otpora i (radikalne) politiãke subjektivizacije u odnosu na njih. Knjiga je usmerena na demistifikaciju, denaturalizaciju i reevaluaciju normi materinstva koje uvek ukazuju na odnose u specifiãnim materijalnim uslovima i okolnostima centriranja ili decentriranja javne ili privatne moçi ili društvenosti. Bavi se materinstvom kao globalnim problemom, kroz analize i iskustva angažmana u pojedinim zemljama, ali ukazuje i na specifiãnosti lokalnog konteksta, kroz iskustva u pojedinim bivšim jugoslovenskim republikama, što predstavlja pokušaj povezivanja odre∂enih globalnih trendova sa posebnostima u lokalnoj sredini.
"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."
Iako se poslednjih nekoliko godina univerzalni osnovni dohodak (UOD) provlači kroz mejnstrim politike, i dalje nije sasvim jasno o tome šta on podrazumeva i u kojim se okolnostima može smatrati progresivnom politikom. Može li UOD funkcionisati u Srbiji, pogotovo imajući u vidu društvene i ekonomske izazove sa kojima se suočavamo u 21. veku?
Knjiga »Udruženi rad i samoupravno planiranje« sadrži one radove Edvarda Kardelja koji su nastali u vezi sa neposrednom prirodom i donošenjem Zakona o udruženom radu i Zakona o osnovama sistema društvenog planiranja i o društvenom planu Jugoslavije, kao i njihovom razradom i primenom u samoupravnoj praksi. Ovi radovi predstavljaju ne samo teorijsko produbljivanje koncepta i sistema dohodovnih odnosa u udruženom radu na načelima novog Ustava, Zakona o udruženom radu i drugih sistemskih zakona, nego i kritičko razmatranje njihovog neposrednog ostvarivanja. Radovi »O sistemu samoupravnog planiranja« i »Slobodni udruženi rad« su, u stvari, posebne knjige iz serije »Brionske diskusije«. U radu »Dalji razvoj društveno-ekonomskih odnosa na osnovu Ustava i Zakona o udruženom radu i učvršćenje položaja radnika« (1976), Kardelj je ukazao na ulogu svih organizovanih snaga našeg društva, posebno Saveza komunista, u razvoju socijalističkih samoupravnih društveno-ekonomskih odnosa. Rad »Sticanje i raspodela sredstava za lične dohotke na osnovu rada jedno od najaktuelnijih pitanja našeg društva danas« (1978) je intervju redakciji časopisa »Svetlost« iz Kragujevca povodom Desetog susreta samoupravljača Jugoslavije »Crveni barjak«.
Pascal Gielen, art theoretician from Belgium, writes about the contemporary city, its shift from the space for the bourgeois class to the current trend of privatisation of public spaces and the role of arts in these processes. His analysis is based on theories and practices of Haussmann, Michel de Certeau, Chantal Mouffe, Saskia Sassen and others, while going through different conceptions of the city as the common space: from Haussmann's urban structure in 18th century to Florida's creative city to the common city.
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.”
This paper examines the prevalence of non-standard workers in EU-28, rules for accessing social security, and these workers’ risk of not being able to access it. It focuses on temporary and part-time workers, and the self-employed, and offers a particularly detailed analysis of their access to unemployment benefits. It focuses on eligibility, adequacy (net income replacement rates) and identifies those workers which are at the greatest risk of either not receiving benefits or receiving low benefits. It offers a special overview of foreign non-standard workers, who may be particularly vulnerable due to the absence of citizenship in the host country. The paper also analyses access to maternity and sickness benefits for these three groups of workers, as well as their access to pensions. Its key contribution is in bringing together the different dimensions of disadvantage that non-standard workers face vis-à-vis access to social protection. This allows us to comprehensively assess the adaptation of national social security systems across EU-28 to the changing world of work over the past 10 years. The paper shows that there is a lot of variation between the Member States, both in the structure of their social security systems, as well as the prevalence of non-standard work. Most notably, the paper concludes that: i) access to unemployment benefits is the most challenging component of welfare state provision for people in non-standard employment; ii) policy reforms vis-à-vis access to social benefits have improved the status of non-standard workers in several countries, while they have worsened it in others, particularly in Bulgaria, Ireland and Latvia; iii) some Eastern European countries can offer lessons to other Member States due to their experiences with labour market challenges during transition and the subsequent adaptations of their social security systems to greater labour market flexibility. The paper also implies that a country’s policy towards nonstandard work cannot be examined in isolation from its labour market conditions, as well as its growth model, and that uniform policy solutions for non-standard work cannot be applied across EU-28.
In this book James Boyle describe what he calls the range wars of the information age-today’s heated battles over intellectual property.
Ova studija ima za cilj da pokaže koje alternative postojećem dogmatskom prihvatanju divljeg neoliberalizma i predatorskog kapitalizma u Srbiji postoje, kao i kako se one mogu implementirati kroz izmene radnog zakonodavstva. Prvi deo studije odnosi se na kritičku analizu osnovnih postulata na kojima počivaju nedavne i najavljene buduće izmene propisa. Potom će se u naredna dva dela predstaviti individualna i kolektivna prava zaposlenih, uz predloge konkretnih izmena propisa koje bi mogle dovesti do implementacije alternativnih rešenja za normiranje radnih odnosa. Konačno, u zaključnim razmatranjima će se posvetiti pažnja sintezi svega iznetog u ocenu sistema koji bi potencijalno mogao da funkcioniše kao samostalan i uspešan, u datim okolnostima u Srbiji. Osnovna hipoteza kojom se analiza rukovodi jeste da su alternative trenutnom stanju ne samo moguće (u normativnom i ekonomskom smislu) već i nužne i racionalne, jer aktuelne politike ne mogu održati čak ni trenutno stanje na duži rok. Budući da u trci do dna dno zapravo ne postoji, jer se uvek može otići korak niže od konkurenata u privlačenju investicija, jedini dugoročni plan može biti napuštanje trenutnih odnosa i jačanje kontrolne i socijalne uloge države. U analizi se odlazi i korak dalje pa se osim nužnosti postojanja alternativa, one razvijaju a ponekad i konkretno normativno uobličavaju. Kroz istraživanje se dakle postavljaju pitanja ali se daju i odgovori, koji mogu biti tumačeni i primenjeni u daljoj praksi i politikama u skladu sa individualnim pogledima i stavovima, ali suštinski nude rešenja zasnovana na nekim univerzalnim vrednostima koja predstavljaju civilizacijsko dostignuće, koja se zasnivaju na osnovama ljudskih prava i sloboda i nadogradnji kroz praksu univerzalnih i regionalnih instrumenata i tela, i čija primena niti u jednom trenutku ne sme postati upitna.
Praktičan vodič objašnjava pojmove lizinga u domenu rada i radnih prava, objašnjava zakonski okvir radnog prava u Srbiji, prenosi iskustva i preporuke iz međunarodnog konteksta i preporučuje promene koje je neophodno napraviti da bi se ublažio pritisak na radnike.
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.
Knjiga (na francuskom jeziku) je zbirka tekstova dvadeset autora, uglavnom francuskih, koji se bave promenama u konceptu korišćenja digitalnih platformi za dostupnost znanja i rezultata rada u umetnosti, nauci i drugim oblastima znanja.
Precarisation is one of the central concepts of Lorey's research and writing. In this article she aims at explaining the term further dissecting three dimensions of the precarious: precariousness, precarity, and governmental precarization. Her theoretical contribution is of great importance for understanding the world of "cultural producers" in neoliberal society.
Ovo je rezultat rada na analizi efekata i rezultata dvogodišnjeg sprovođenja Zakona o radu donetog 2014. godine. Na analizi je radio tim stručnjaka koji je obradio rezultate ispitivanja različitih grupa aktera (sindikati, poslodavci, državna tela, nevladine organizacije...) i uz konsultacije za drugim zainteresovanim stranama (Ministarstvo za rad, zapošljavanje boračka i socijalna pitanja, Nacionalna služba zapošljavanja, Međunarodna organizacija rada, Savez samostalnih sindikata Srbije, Unija poslodavaca, Beogradski centar za ljudska prava...).
This issue of Crisis and Critique brings together some of the most important contemporary thinkers, who engage with the historical, political and philosophical resonances of the Bolshevik Revolution into our context.They engage with different dimensions which compose the Bolshevik Event and its aftermath.The point is not to reassert the relevance of the Revolution, nor explore the possibilities of faithfulness to it, but rather, the aim of this issue is to claim that politics of emancipation, philosophy and history cannot be the same after this Revolution. It is a unavoidable point of reference, one that cannot be simply ignored.
Knjiga je zbirka uvodnih izlaganja na seminaru koji je organizovan od 12. do 15. februara 1968. godine, kao i diskusija, postavljanih pitanja i odgovora. Uvodni tekstovi pokrivaju dominantne teme u kulturi, obrazovanju i nauci u jugoslovenskom samoupravnom drluštvu krajem 60-tih godina.
Univerzalne osnovne usluge (universal basic services) su recentna ideja koja je privukla veliku pažnju javnosti zbog potencijala da redefiniše državu blagostanja i uspešno odgovori na izazove 21. veka. Univerzalne osnovne usluge podrazumevaju proširenje opsega besplatnih javnih usluga koji će osigurati pristup svakom građaninu (ili rezidentu) adekvatan stepen sigurnosti, mogućnosti i participacije. Termin univerzalne podrazumeva da su usluge dostupne svima, bez obzira na njihove prihode ili status.
Ungoverning Dance examines the work of progressive contemporary dance artists in continental Europe from the mid 1990s to 2015.
The book explores the ideological thoughts under the notion of the commons and asks how this shapes the reality of our living together. Pays attention to the aesthetic dimension of communism as an ideology: what artistic strategies and what aesthetics do commoners adopt? After half a century of neoliberalism, a new radical, practice-based ideology is making its way from the margins: commonism, with an o in the middle. It is based on the values of sharing, common (intellectual) ownership and new social co-operations. Commoners assert that social relationships can replace money (contract) relationships. They advocate solidarity and they trust in peer-to-peer relationships to develop new ways of production. Commonism maps those new ideological thoughts. How do they work and, especially, what is their aesthetics? How do they shape the reality of our living together? Is there another, more just future imaginable through the commons? What strategies and what aesthetics do commoners adopt? This book explores this new political belief system, alternating between theoretical analysis, wild artistic speculation, inspiring art examples, almost empirical observations and critical reflection.
The text is a critique of commodified reason that will add to the defense of the non-commodified aspects of the academic collective work and its results.
"Životno delo", kako je samo autor nazvao ovu knjigu, predstavlja sveobuhvatnu studiju političke ekonomije socijalizma koja je pokušaj sintetičkog pregleda uslova u kojima se vodi neprekidna borba između kapitalističkih durštvenih odnosa i tendencija da se ti odnosi pretvore u socijalističke. On smatra da je podela sveta na kapitalistički i socijalistički blok (u drugoj polovini 20. veka) površna ocena jer: "...jedini važan interes, zajednički i jednom i drugom bloku, jest spriječiti pravi socijalistički razvoj bilo gdje u svijetu." Knjiga je najpre objavljena na engleskom jeziku, u Njujorku, gde je doživela veliki uspeh, a tek naknadno je prevedena na srpskohrvatski jezik i objavljena u Jugoslaviji.
