How do social movements promote prefigurative political projects that balance the realization of post capitalist livelihoods, while at the same time engaging with previously existing economic, cultural and institutional structures? This panel invites presentations which illustrate processes by which prefigurative political projects become counterpower through the “co-production” of networks of trust and collaboration across different social groups and institutional environments, leading to the diffusion of “socio-ethical and counter-cultural practices” experimented with, enacted and coordinated within “alternative spaces”.
