This second MoneyLab Reader prods emerging, rising, crashing and burning digital money memes. Ever since its inception, in 2013, the MoneyLab project tinkers with digital money and fnance experiments. We ques- tion persistent beliefs, from Calvinist austerity, growth, and up-scaling, to trustless automated decision-making, and freedom on the dark web, from (anarcho-)capitalist dreams of the days of yore to the special sauce of neoliberal entrepreneurialism and its right-wing libertarian counterparts. Entering the 10th year of the global fnancial crisis, it still remains a difcult yet crucial task to distinguish old wine from its fancy new bottles. We need to recog- nize the ruling fnancial system in its ostensible alternatives. Neoliberal concepts and convictions such as growth, scale and free markets are often repackaged in mystifying and depoliticizing wrapping paper such as ‘sustainable’, ‘parallel’, ‘local economies’, ‘co-ops’, ‘disruption’, ‘universal basic income (UBI)’, and ‘fexibility’ but lack or misfre structural and systemic critique, or cleverly shadow-box their way around it. We are ‘willing slaves of capital’, as Frédéric Lordon wrote,1 and if we trust the Believers, we will soon be (neo-)liberated by internet-based, autonomous payment systems or UBI. With the monopoly of Central Banks crumbling, the very defnition of money is up for grabs. MoneyLab considers blockchain technology, cybercurrencies and other experi- ments with value exchanges as spaces of political contestation and possibility. De- signing internet-based payment and network-based revenue models is a political proj- ect, and one with an equally important aesthetic program. MoneyLab asks designers, geeks, researchers, artists and activists: what role can criticism play when technology accelerates? And how can we work together to make a diference? Over the past years, the Cyberworld fantasies of yesteryear have been rekindled, in updated and automated form, in stories about invincible, decentralized blockchains and heroic crypto-currencies, promoted as a refreshed parallel universe of digital value storage that can weather any storm as well as overcome the incessant global fnancial crisis. This tweet by Brett Scott pretty much sums up the MoneyLab critique of the 1 Frédéric Lordon, Willing Slaves of Capital: Spinoza and Marx on Desire, New York, NY: Verso Books, 2014. INTRODUCTION 9 hype: ‘Crypto logic 101: Bitcoin is worth holding onto because it will become worth more Why will it be worth more? Because more people will start using it But aren't they just holding it, rather than using it? Yeah, but eventually we'll use it What for? To cash out into US dollars.’2 For many, such Bitcoin critique is Maoist-style self-criticism. There is not much intellectual clout in constantly having to ‘reveal’ the bubble nature of fnancial schemes. For fntech speculators, there is no deeper value in crypto-cur- rencies, only possible profts in buying and selling after an uncertain period of hoard- ing. For them, Ethereum is just another fnancial asset, accumulated under the sign of ‘collective self-interest’. The question of how digital money can actually be woven into the broader architecture of the internet is not their concern in the least. Due to speculation fever, the larger debate around what design of digital money would be desirable has come to a com- plete hold. What remains are security questions of wallets and exchanges, the use of crypto-currencies

  • Sharing Cities and Commoning: an Alternative Narrative for Just and Sustainable Cities
    sustainability Article Sharing Cities and Commoning: An Alternative Narrative for Just and Sustainable Cities Adrien Labaeye Geography Department, Faculty of Mathematics and Science II, Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin, Unter den Linden 6, 10099 Berlin, Germany; [email protected] or [email protected] Received: 26 June 2019; Accepted: 1 August 2019; Published: 12 August 2019 Abstract: Sharing Cities are emerging as an alternative narrative which promotes sharing as a transformative phenomenon for just and sustainable cities. This article shows that Sharing Cities are conceived within the alternative political economy of the commons. Bringing a theoretical contribution into dialogue with a practice-oriented book, this paper aims at checking the concept of Sharing Cities against the reality on the ground by reviewing 137 secondary cases: (1) Is communal (non-commercial) sharing a substantial phenomenon? (2) What is the role of technology—and more widely, of intermediation—in sharing practices? (3) If at all, what is being transformed by sharing practices? (4) Are commons depicted in each case? Results show that most cases display a communal form of sharing that is independent of digital platforms, i.e., that the sharing transformation affects all arenas of production and social reproduction across a wide variety of sectors, and it relies on translocal replication rather than up-scaling. With only 26% of cases apparently depicting a commons, this paper argues for a relational epistemology of urban commoning, shifting the focus to more-than-human commoning-communities. Thus, Sharing Cities are captured not only as a set of policy proposals and practices but as the performative depiction of an alternative worldview based on interdependence, ready for the Anthropocene.

  • On Lav Diaz‟S a Lullaby to the Sorrowful Mystery
    ―Textual Mobilities: Diaspora, Migration, Transnationalism and Multiculturalism‖ | Lullaby of Diasporic Time: On Lav Diaz‟s A Lullaby to the Sorrowful Mystery Christian Jil R. Benitez Ateneo de Manila University Philippines [email protected] Abstract Lav Diaz is a Filipino independent filmmaker notable as a key figure in the contemporary slow cinema movement. Of his oeuvre, one of the longest is A Lullaby to the Sorrowful Mystery (Filipino: Hele sa Higawang Hapis), a 2016 epic film that runs for 8 hours, orchestrating narratives derived from what are conveniently sung as mythology (i.e., Jose Rizal‘s El filibusterismo and Philippine folklore) and history (i.e., Philippine history and artifacts). The movie competed in the 66th Berlin International Film Festival, where it won the Alfred Bauer Prize. This success has earned Diaz‘s the spotlight in the Filipino mainstream culture, enabling the film to be distributed to and showcased in mainstream platforms, albeit primarily garnering attention from the Filipino audience for its runtime and international attention. The movement of the film, as a text, from the local Philippines toward the international and returning home, incurs in it a textuality that disrupts the phenomenology of time diasporically, scatteringly: that as much as its 8-hour languor ―opens new perspective in the cinematic arts‖ according to the international rendition of this time, it is also the 8-hour whose value in the Philippine time is that of a day‘s labor, and thus the exoticization of its cinematic experience as a ―challenge,‖ having to endure an entire working day of slow cinematography. This diaspora of time is of no cacophony; on the contrary, it is the lullaby, sorrowful and mysterious, that finally slows Diaz in to become a filmmaker attuned to both the spaces of the local and the international.

Apple TV was overhauled as people increasingly stream films and television shows on-demand online and turn to mobile applications for entertainment. "Our vision for TV is simple, and perhaps a little provocative," Apple chief executive Tim Cook said at a media event in San Francisco. "We believe the future of television is apps."

Por un lado, plantearemos, desde el prisma sociológico, los rasgos identitarios del ciudadano contemporáneo dentro de un esquema productivo que ubica al sujeto como ente social. Por otro lado, y como consecuencia de esta primera reflexión, nos preguntaremos por el margen de acción o, mejor dicho, de reivindicación, que le queda al individuo, una vez dilucidada su esfera significativa, esto es, el plano ontológico que lo define en el organigrama actual. A partir de aquí, resultará pertinente interrogarse por el hipotético papel corrector y transformador, a un nivel micro y macrosocial, que puedan desempeñar actualmente los nuevos perfiles de los ciudadanos en un mundo post-industrial.
