Re: [P2P-F] not publishing next binding chaos review
by Michel Bauwens 26 Nov '13

26 Nov '13

Dear Anna, I reacted in a friendly way as soon as the accusations streamed in, asked Kevin to correct the oversight, and got a torrent of lies and abuse in return, while we are to blame for the oversight, that's really all we did. And given that the core of the accusation and unhappiness was that we published the excerpts she had asked us to publish herself, it would be particularly unwise to publish more, I have really learned my lesson. For two years we published and promoted Heather's work, and I don't know much other people who did. All that material is still there for people to read and think about. Without serious apologies for the harm she caused, for me, that is the end of the story. It's not censorship, I just don't want anymore diffamation campaigns and will stay away as far as I can, Michel <<Message: 4 Date: Mon, 25 Nov 2013 15:53:05 +0000 From: anna(a)shsh.co.uk Subject: Re: [P2P-F] not publishing next binding chaos review To: P2P Foundation mailing list <p2p-foundation(a)lists.ourproject.org> Cc: Michel Bauwens <michel(a)p2pfoundation.net>, p2p-foundation <p2p-foundation(a)lists.ourproject.org> Message-ID: <EC9229F8-6B14-4009-9015-80DCF59CF793(a)shsh.co.uk> Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Hi Kevin and Michel, I feel sad that this 'ruckus' has resulted in censoring Heather's work. Could we admit that a misunderstanding resulted from right and wrong on both sides, rather than trying to maintain a totally blameless stance? Since things have now settled down, would it be possible to review the decisions taken in the heat of battle?

No idea, why they've put the name of an organization or a set of licences (CC) into the title of one of the three sections, but this is a minor issue. I see fit for many contributions from the commons movement. Very best Silke Fourth International Conference on Degrowth for Ecological Sustainability and Social Equity 2nd-6th September 2014, Leipzig Bridging movements and research for the great transformation. The International Degrowth Conference has reached its fourth venue: since Paris 2008 the debate on how to turn away from a growth-oriented economy towards a more sustainable society has drawn world-wide attention. The fourth international conference will take place in a country that is considered as the European engine of economic growth. Different traditions of growth critique, such as the concept of a post-growth society stemming from the German-speaking community and the French and Southern European degrowth debate, are invited to a fruitful dialogue. The conference seeks to bring practitioners, activists and scientists together and encompasses various formats for presentations, interaction, workshops, and exchange. This Call for Papers refers to the scientific track only, which aims at reflecting, substantiating, and developing further the scholarly work on degrowth. > Submit your paper Thematic threads and topics Thematic threads The conference addresses three main thematic threads. For the scientific track, contributions covering the following topics are invited: + Organizing society Emancipatory politics, participation, institutions > Multiple crises > Capitalism and economic growth > Societal organization and coordination beyond growth > Conditions for degrowth > Democracy beyond growth > Communal and regional organization > Infrastructure and public services > Transforming education > Public debt and taxation > Distribution and basic income > (Re)distribution, fairness and inclusion > Social movements, self-organized projects, new wave of protest > … + Building a social and ecological economy (Re-)productivity, commons, society-nature relations > (Eco)feminism and degrowth > Productivity and (re)productivity beyond growth > Planetary boundaries and environmental justice > Global South, BRIC and degrowth > Social metabolism and material flows > International trade and capital flows > Monetary and financial systems > Energy, housing and mobility > Scenarios and models of a post-growth economy > Agriculture and rural-urban relations > (De)commodification of nature > Work, labour, and socially meaningful activities beyond growth > Commons, solidarity, and gift economy > Forms and organization of businesses > … + Living conviviality Buen vivir, creative commons, knowledge & technology > Buen vivir and post-development > Cultural drivers of growth > (De)urbanization and (de)alienation > Convivial and experimental learning > Creative commons and open source > Spirituality, reconnection and relationality > Knowledge generation, research & development, technology > Convivial technologies > Alternative welfare models: happiness, needs, and the good life > Cultural, anthropological, and ethical perspectives on degrowth > … Narrative Steps The conference unfolds along three narrative steps, which offer a common perspective and a general framework respectively to each full day: > Wednesday: Facing the current crisis: critique & resistance. > Thursday: Building alliances. > Friday: Visions and strategies for transformation. Scientific papers and discussions are required to build on the state of affair and to develop further the current research on degrowth, post-growth and sustainability by addressing open challenges, implementing new research agendas and interlinking diversified approaches in a promising way. Conference structure The scientific track will comprise the following formats: > Semi-plenaries with eminent speakers and a scientific perspective on degrowth & post-growth > Core and short paper sessions with the presentation of individual contributions > Core sessions featuring longer presentations and a prepared comment > Poster presentations in the central hall of the conference venue > Special sessions featuring presentations with a specific thematic focus or comprising further activities such as discussion workshops, reading sessions or the planning of a research network; prepared and submitted by an external session organizer Submission procedure Proposals for the presentation of individual papers and posters as well as for the organisation of special sessions are welcome. Proposals should address one (or more) of the conference topics under the lens of one (or more) narrative steps. > Core sessions require the submission of a full paper (approx. 3000-8000 words) and a short abstract (max. 150 words) > Short paper and poster sessions require the submission of a long abstract (max. 1200 words) and a short one (max. 150 words). > Special sessions with paper presentations can be proposed by submitting an abstract (max. 800 words) with the topic of the session and a list of speakers and presentation titles.
