Urban Social Design Experience
by Michel Bauwens 04 Mar '11

04 Mar '11

The Urban Social Design Association announces the launch of the project "Urban Social Design Experience": a series of on-line courses (or experiences) for students and professionals interested in exploring new tools, dynamics, and methodologies for participation, collective creation, networking, new technologies, urban culture and social innovation. It is an expanded education or educommunication project; a learning process that goes beyond the institutional boundaries, the traditional topics or methodologies; a process in which it is particularly important design thinking, the concept of laboratory as workspace, the process, the dissolution of boundaries between the professional and the amateur, innovation as an engine of knowledge and the commons as a research tool and interface. The courses are called Experiences, since education is not conceived as a simple knowledge transfer, but offer enrollees the opportunity to live an expanded educational experience. The teachers of each experience or "consultants" are professionals with experience and ability to innovate, and whose function is to coordinate and streamline the process of expanded education. The course experience is structured with weekly online group, individual sessions and constant monitoring of the consultant on the development and evolution of the personal project of participants over three months. Urban Social Design launches the first 3 courses starting on February 14 with a duration of 3 months. The registration period is open until 26 February. Course fee: 250 euros. The registration process is done through the web urbansocialdesign.org / usde Urban Social Design Association is an initiative promoted by ecosistema urbano and aims to: - Research and promote Urban Social Design, understood as the design of spaces and processes to improve social relations, creating the conditions for self-organization and interaction between people and their urban environment. - Create a digital space as a meeting place of different knowledge and disciplines: architecture, engineering, technology, urban planning, geography, politics, communication, sociology, participation, etc. .. - Promote networking, free culture, the use of new technologies and social innovation. -- P2P Foundation: http://p2pfoundation.net - http://blog.p2pfoundation.net Connect: http://p2pfoundation.ning.com; Discuss: http://lists.ourproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/p2p-foundation Updates: http://del.icio.us/mbauwens; http://friendfeed.com/mbauwens; http://twitter.com/mbauwens; http://www.facebook.com/mbauwens

HOW old is the market economy
by Michel Bauwens 03 Mar '11

03 Mar '11

I've always learned that the standard story of evolving to the market from barter was a myth, and that instead, the gift economy was dominant at first (see mauss) but here's a quote that claims the opposite: Philosopher Fed Turner has some interesting insights<http://frederickturnerpoet.com/?p=330>: *”There is a myth that we as a species have moved from having an edenic and arcadian gift exchange economy to a cold and corrupt market economy. As a myth it has its uses; as a fact it will not fly. Archaeologists and physical anthropologists now find trading practices among the earliest humans nearly 200,000 years ago; we were always buying, selling, hiring, trucking and bartering. And economists tell us that even in today’s advanced industrial economies the amount of value that is transferred by gift is greater than the amount transferred by market exchanges. This may sound counter-intuitive until we reflect that gift includes the free services rendered by parents to their children, husbands and wives to each other, friends to friends, hobbyists to their community, and the bequests of the dying to their heirs. “We have plenty of theory about markets, since Locke and Smith and their ilk. There is some theory about gift exchange in traditional tribal societies (Marcel Mauss, for instance), but very little until now about the economic, moral, social, political, ecological, aesthetic, and spiritual implications of today’s gift economy in advanced societies like the United States.”* via http://davidbrin.blogspot.com/2011/02/philanthropy-transparency-science.html; http://frederickturnerpoet.com/?p=330 -- P2P Foundation: http://p2pfoundation.net - http://blog.p2pfoundation.net Connect: http://p2pfoundation.ning.com; Discuss: http://lists.ourproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/p2p-foundation Updates: http://del.icio.us/mbauwens; http://friendfeed.com/mbauwens; http://twitter.com/mbauwens; http://www.facebook.com/mbauwens

Re: [P2P-F] definitions of ( hybrid networked ) modes of governance and, economics
by Sy 03 Mar '11

03 Mar '11

Democracy doesn't mean rule of the majority. Etymologically its meaning is the rule of the people. While common convention in representative democracies is that this means majority rules, this is only one kind of democratic system, and the one which historically was considered to be 'weak' democracy as allowing people to vote for a representative once every four or five years gives the people only a small degree of power to rule themselves. This was contrasted with 'strong' or direct forms of democracy where either the people were able to either manage their affairs without the need for representatives to mediate for them, or those representatives were only temporary and were able to be recalled at any time if people were unhappy with their actions. Consequently direct democracy has largely been associated with anarchist leaning groups, such as social centres, squats and co-ops. Frequently these groups opt to make decisions by consensus rather than majority based decisions as this includes all participants in a meaningful way and allows them to voice their objections to ideas rather than placing them within an outvoted (and thus silenced) minority.
