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. -

Platform and Data Co-Operatives Amidst European Pandemic Citizenship
sustainability Article Platform and Data Co-Operatives amidst European Pandemic Citizenship Igor Calzada 1,2 1 Urban Transformations ESRC & Future of Cities Programmes, COMPAS, University of Oxford, 58 Banbury Road, Oxford OX2 6QS, UK; [email protected]; Tel.: +44-7887-661925 2 Digital Economy Unit & Centre for Advanced Studies (CAS), DG Joint Research Centre (JRC), European Commission, Via Fermi 2749, 21027 Ispra, Italy Received: 24 August 2020; Accepted: 7 October 2020; Published: 9 October 2020 Abstract: Many European pandemic citizens will likely be unemployed during the COVID-19 crisis. This article explores whether it is possible to alter existing data governance extractivist models to incentivize the emergence of platform and data co-operatives to protect European pandemic citizens’ labor and digital rights. As such, this article aims to decipher the rationale behind the proliferation of platform and data co-operatives by responding to how new forms of co-operatives using digital technologies can provide feasible socio-economic alternatives to improve post-COVID-19 working conditions for vulnerable or already empowered pandemic citizens. This article is structured as follows. First, the European “pandemic citizenship” term is described. Second, the rationale of this article is consequently presented. Third, the research question, two hypotheses, and the action research triangulation are described. The deployment of the triangulation methodology based on action research, mixed methods and social innovation reveals the main findings through (i) Delphi study results, (ii) a taxonomy for platform and data co-operative cases, and ultimately, (iii) fieldwork research conducted in Glasgow, Barcelona and Tallinn. This article concludes that co-operatives (platform-based or data-driven), stemming from the potential resilient response of European pandemic citizens, may currently portray a feasible alternative to data governance extractivist models. -
The International Co-Operative Alliance and Platform Co-Ops Options for the ICA to Support Platform Co-Ops in Its Forward Strategy1
February 2019 Discussion Paper The International Co-operative Alliance and Platform Co-ops Options for the ICA to support platform co-ops in its forward strategy1 This paper aims to locate platform coops within the co-operative sector and the wider digital economy, and explore how the International Co-operative Alliance can define and support the development of the model. The paper is written by Ed Mayo, Secretary General of Co-operatives UK and Vice President of Cooperatives Europe at the request of the ICA and has been developed with input from a small number of international experts and innovators in the field.

ROCHELLE SCHIECK Founder, Qoya Movement Praise for Rochelle Schieck’S QOYA: a Compass for Navigating an Embodied Life That Is Wise, Wild and Free
“The Qoya were the sacred women of the Inka, daughters of the Sun, the ones chosen to uplift humanity to our grandest and greatest possibilities. Rochelle accomplishes this great task in this stunning book.” —Alberto Villoldo, PhD, author of Shaman, Healer, Sage and One Spirit Medicine Q YA A Compass for Navigating an Embodied Life that is Wise, Wild and Free ROCHELLE SCHIECK Founder, Qoya Movement Praise for Rochelle Schieck’s QOYA: A Compass for Navigating an Embodied Life that is Wise, Wild and Free “Through the sincere, witty, and profound sharing of her own life experiences, Rochelle reveals to us a valuable map to recover one’s joy, confidence, and authenticity. She shows us the way back to love by feeling gratitude for one’s own experiences. She offers us price- less tools and practices to reconnect with our innate intelligence and sense of knowing what is right for us. More than a book, this is a companion through difficult moments or for getting from well to wonderful!” —Marcela Lobos, shamanic healer, senior staff member at the Four Winds Society, and co-founder of Los Cuatro Caminos in Chile “Qoya represents the future – the future of spirituality, femininity, and movement. If I’ve learned anything in my work, it is that there is an awakening of women everywhere. The world is yearning for the balance of the feminine essence. This book shows us how to take the next step.” —Kassidy Brown, co-founder of We Are the XX “Rochelle Schieck has made her life into a solitary vow: to remem- ber who she is – not in thought or theory – but in her bones, in the truth that only exists in her body. -

Dancing Into the Chthulucene: Sensuous Ecological Activism In
Dancing into the Chthulucene: Sensuous Ecological Activism in the 21st Century Dissertation Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Kelly Perl Klein Graduate Program in Dance Studies The Ohio State University 2019 Dissertation Dr. Harmony Bench, Advisor Dr. Ann Cooper Albright Dr. Hannah Kosstrin Dr. Mytheli Sreenivas Copyrighted by Kelly Perl Klein 2019 2 Abstract This dissertation centers sensuous movement-based performance and practice as particularly powerful modes of activism toward sustainability and multi-species justice in the early decades of the 21st century. Proposing a model of “sensuous ecological activism,” the author elucidates the sensual components of feminist philosopher and biologist Donna Haraway’s (2016) concept of the Chthulucene, articulating how sensuous movement performance and practice interpellate Chthonic subjectivities. The dissertation explores the possibilities and limits of performances of vulnerability, experiences of interconnection, practices of sensitization, and embodied practices of radical inclusion as forms of activism in the context of contemporary neoliberal capitalism and competitive individualism. Two theatrical dance works and two communities of practice from India and the US are considered in relationship to neoliberal shifts in global economic policy that began in the late 1970s. The author analyzes the dance work The Dammed (2013) by the Darpana Academy for Performing Arts in Ahmedabad, -
FINAL Thesis Dance, Empowerment and Spirituality
13 Introduction Imagine entering a space full of people, all engaged with their own movement, emotions and process. Some are dancing fast; others are lying on the floor. Some are stretching their bodies tall in all directions, whereas other movements are barely visible. People may be crying, shouting, or dancing with an expression of joy on their face. There are men and women of all ages, colourfully dressed. If you let your fantasy run wild, you can imagine them as animals swishing their tails while moving stealthily through the jungle, as indigenous people, stamping their feet on the beat. You may see dancing fairies, solid trees and stout warriors. You may see vulnerable, delicate beings of great beauty, or even see seaweeds, moving gently on an invisible current. The raw and the ugly, the wild and the contained, the silence and the storm all may be present in the room. Welcome. You have just arrived in a Movement Medicine space. These spaces form the focus of this research project. Indeed, paraphrasing Performance Studies scholar Fiona Buckland, this research is both a dance floor where people enter and move, and simultaneously a dancer who even now is checking out the floor (F. Buckland, 2002: 14). My baseline motivation for this study is a curiosity about people’s search for meaning and self-understanding in western culture in the early 21st century. The decline of traditional religious frameworks after the Second World War, led to the remarkable rise of many so called alternative spiritualities or New Religious Movements1 (compare Greenwood, 2000: 8). -
ILO COOP 100 Symposium
Unlocking data value for platform labour Insights from worker-led, SSE platform models Anita Gurmurthy IT for Change [email protected] Tuesday, 17 November 2020 Platform cooperativism: the quest for a new cooperative form suited to the new modes of production of the digital age A new generation of businesses are emerging online, and we are concerned that the extraordinary potential for co-operative models rooted in participation and equality is not being realised because of a narrow focus in these markets on investor-led models of business. We applaud pioneers of democratic business in digital markets, including emerging models of platform cooperatives operating in line with core international values and principles. We encourage and welcome efforts by co-operatives actively to support the risk-taking of this new generation of co-operative entrepreneurs, through information sharing, promotion and appropriate finance and business partnerships - Resolution of the General Assembly of the ICA, 2017 IT for Change’s research study Platform Labour in Search of Value supported by the ILO Desk review, 50+ stakeholder interviews Insights about new SSE models in the platform economy context Finding 1 Platform cooperativism the SSE alternative to the dominant platform model. Platform Cooperativism as SSE alternative - Progressive movement which originated in the global North in 2015, as an antidote to the “sharing economy” - - Platform cooperatives from the EU and US have carved a niche as hyperlocal business models catering to a small consumer base invested in sustainable consumption (eg. Food Fairies in Berlin, an initiative led by former Deliveroo riders) Platform Cooperativism as SSE alternative Venture capital funding, IP regimes underpinning mainstream platforms are unsuitable for cooperatives Lack of options with respect to digital infrastructure Platform Cooperativism as SSE alternative The corporate cloud, really, is just someone else’s computer; it is at odds with platform cooperative ethics. -
