Interestingly, however, they also prominently share the core transformations experienced in contemporary capitalism. The convergence of work, labour and other aspects of life -- the rapid development of algorithmically driven technical systems and their intensifying role in social organisation -- the practical and legitimation crisis of institutions, echoed by renewed attempts at self-organisation. Each article in this special issue addresses a received truth which circulates unreflected amongst both academics analysing these phenomena and practitioners engaged in the respective scenes. Questioning such myths based on empirical research founded on a rigorous theoretical framework is what a journal such as the Journal of Peer Production can contribute to both academic and activist discourses. Shared machine shops have been around for at least a decade or so, which makes for a good time to evaluate how they live up to their self-professed social missions. Here is an executive summary: * Shared Machine Shops are not new. * Fab Labs are not about technology. * Sharing is not happening. * Hackerspaces are not open. * Technology is not neutral. * Hackerspaces are not solving problems. * Fab Labs are not the seeds of a revolution. +----------------------------------------------------------------------------+ #=================================+ # T A B L E O F C O N T E N T S | #=================================+ # #-------------------+ # EDITORIAL SECTION | #-------------------+ # # * We Now have the Means of Production, but Where is my Revolution? # by maxigas and Peter Troxler # # * Digitally-Operated Atoms vs. Bits of Rhetoric # by Ursula Gastfall, Thomas Fourmond, Jean-Baptiste Labrune and Peter Troxler # # * Critical Notions of Technology: Promises of Empowerment in Shared Machine Shops # by Susana Nascimento # # * Distributed and Open Creation Platforms as Key Enablers for Smarter Cities # by Tomas Diez # # * Fab Labs Forked: A Grassroots Insurgency inside the Next Industrial Revolution # by Peter Troxler # # * Cultural Stratigraphy: A Rift between Shared Machine Shops # by maxigas # #----------------------+ # PEER REVIEWED PAPERS | #----------------------+ # # * Technology Networks for socially useful production # by Adrian Smith # # * The Story of MIT-Fablab Norway: Community Embedding of Peer Production # by Cindy Kohtala and Camille Bosqué # # * Sharing is Sparing: Open Knowledge Sharing in Fab Labs # by Patricia Wolf, Peter Troxler, Pierre-Yves Kocher, Julie Harboe & Urs Gaudenz # # * Feminist Hackerspaces: The Synthesis of Feminist and Hacker Cultures # by Sophie Toupin # # * Beyond Technological Fundamentalism: Peruvian Hack Labs # and “Inter-technological” Education # by Anita Say Chan [html] [pdf] # # * Becoming Makers: Hackerspace Member Habits, Values, and Identities # by Austin Toombs, Shaowen Bardzell, and Jeffrey Bardzell # # * Shared Machine Shops as Real-life Laboratories # by Sascha Dickel, Jan-Peter Ferdinand, and Ulrich Petschow # # ...

issue#5
by maxigas 29 Oct '14

29 Oct '14

hi, good morning -- i have a service announcement, a status report and a small editorial question for you today. :) * service announcement: in preparation for the release of issue#5 we basically overwrote everything on the live site which changed since we made a clone (called "staging"). before doing that, i took care to backport any important changes which occured in the meantime, such as new and updated pages, news items, etc. in case something was lost we have a copy to restore from. the moral of the story is that if there was something small but dear to you on the website, something that you changed in the last months (for instance your password?) then please check if it is still there! * status report: we have asked authors today to make a final "pre-print" review of their article, and the idea is to put the issue on the front page on Wednesday and start to advertise it on Thursday. of course we count and depend on your help in the advertising campaign, but please don't post to lists until we have set up some way of coordinating spam! * editorial question: the authors of one paper asked if we can display their institutional affiliations. we are not sure about this so we decided to ask the opinion of the list. please provide us some guidance! thank you for everything, sorry for a tedious mail, have a nice day! -- maxigas, kiberpunk FA00 8129 13E9 2617 C614 0901 7879 63BC 287E D166 http://research.metatron.ai/ People the switches!
