Abstract Submissions Closed
RC48 Social Movements, Collective Actions and Social Change (host committee)
Language: Spanish and English
Session Type: Oral
In the context of technologically advanced societies we have witnessed a progressive weakening of the moderating role that the welfare state was performing on inequalities and social imbalances, the gradual abandonment of mutuality and social bonds that used to guarantee mutual support and interaction structures capable of making precarious life bearable.
This session is looking for different case studies of collaborative collective action and its effects in practices, bonds, structures and mobilizations that transform contemporary societies. The aim of the session will be to present different examples of forms and experiences of collective actions with a lower degree of structuring and organization than social movements, but which have a strong collaborative component and try to respond to collective challenges.
The cases can belong to, but are not limited to the following areas:
Food and agricultural production: food sovereignty, agroecology, zero kilometer movement, urban agriculture and community gardens;
Arts: art and the commons, collaborative art and new forms of creative commons;
Science and knowledge: collaborative forms of scientific production, citizen science;
Care and co--housing: solidarity networks for personal care, health care, age care, childcare, co-‐housing;
Culture: collaborative culture, open culture movement;
Economy, work and consumption: collaborative economy, circular economy, new forms of collaborative work and co-‐working, collaborative consumption;
Technology: Maker and DIY movement, open source technology initiatives, medialab, hacktivism;
