The books are published as affordable paperbacks and in digital versions open access. Publishing is free of charge to authors. The digital versions are free of charge to readers. An overview of titles published thus far is available here: https://www.uwestminsterpress.co.uk/site/books/series/critical-digital-and-… There is a preference for the submission of proposals for books whose writing can be finished and that can be submitted to UWP within the next 6-15 months.

All proposals for consideration have to be presented via https://uwp.rua.re. The open access book series “Critical Digital and Social Media Studies” publishes books that critically study the role of the Internet, digital and social media in society and make critical interventions. Titles analyse how power structures, digital capitalism, ideology and social struggles shape and are shaped by digital and social media. They use and develop critical theory discussing the political relevance and implications of studied topics. The series is a theoretical forum for Internet and social media research for books using methods and theories that challenge digital positivism. It also seeks to explore digital media ethics grounded in critical social theories and philosophy. The book series’ understanding of critical theory and critique is grounded in approaches such as critical political economy and Frankfurt School critical theory.

The strongest possible recommendation to read Adam Arvidsson's key book on our 'industrious' revolution
by Michel Bauwens 11 Dec '19

11 Dec '19

Dear Adam Arvidsson, I just finished your book, Changemakers, as I am having my last day in Belgium, where it takes me at least double the time to finish a book. I don't have enough words to say how important your book is, and I cannot strongly enough recommend it our our p2p and commons audience. IF YOU READ ONLY ONE BOOK THIS DECADE, this should be it. It's short, but it is brilliant, and to be honest, I do not hesitate to call it as important as was Polanyi, in describing the previous shift. But my impression is that it's diffusion remains way to confidential, so I would really urge to constantly share excerpts of your different conclusions. Your book has to get out to our emerging movement and ecosystem of 'industrious production' !!! https://wiki.p2pfoundation.net/Industrious_Future_of_the_Digital_Economy -- P2P Foundation: http://wiki.p2pfoundation.net <http://p2pfoundation.net> - http://blog.p2pfoundation.net Discuss: http://lists.ourproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/p2p-foundation Updates: ; http://twitter.com/mbauwens; http://www.facebook.com/mbauwens Curation of news on p2p/commons developments: https://www.facebook.com/groups/p2p.open/

Fwd: [bgcon] "SIGNALS – Algorithms of Disobedience"
by Michel Bauwens 05 Dec '19

---------- Forwarded message --------- From: Krystian Woznicki <kw(a)berlinergazette.de> Date: Thu, Dec 5, 2019 at 6:04 PM Subject: [bgcon] "SIGNALS – Algorithms of Disobedience" To: <digi-yards(a)berlinergazette.de> Hi, whistle-blowing – as one method to keep evasive powers accountable – is becoming ever more important in an era characterized by the renaissance of authoritarianism. In Europe, Serbia has one of the most authoritarian governments: infrastructure, including public transportation and Internet, is shut down when protests are emerging – just to name one indicator for the authoritarian tendency. All this said, the Berliner Gazette is particularly proud that our SIGNALS project (https://berlinergazette.de/signals) was exhibited in Serbia this year. Based on the NSA documents leaked by Edward Snowden, the art and activism collective KUDA.org hosted the exhibition in a gallery in Novi Sad, the second biggest city in Serbia. Here are some pictures from the exhibition: https://www.kuda.org/en/photo-ducumentation-exhibition-and-panel-discussion… Please share this link as an inspiration for the important cooperative work that needs to be done with material provided by whistle-blowers – as one of the many ways to engage with what democracy is and could be.

A Global New Deal For The Commons:
by Michel Bauwens 02 Dec '19

02 Dec '19

HERE IS JOSEPH CEDERWALL'S PROPOSAL: A Global New Deal For The Commons: https://thedig.nz/editorial/hope-for-nature-a-new-deal-for-the-commons/? I propose that what humanity and the planet desperately needs is a Global New Deal For The Commons. Such a deal would require a global mobilisation to ensure that the natural and cultural commons are protected and sustainable biodiversity-friendly and cooperatist land-use is adopted. If structured right, such a deal would have a massive impact towards restoring the planetary ecosystem and biodiversity, as well as healing deprived and hopeless communities everywhere in the process. To truly turn the biodiversity and climate crises around, this new deal needs to happen at least on a scale of wartime efforts such as the Marshall Plan of WWII or the New Deal of the Depression-era. As Rutger Bregman argues, centralised state action will be essential to any realistic efforts to drive an environmental effort on the scale required. However, I am less cynical than Bregman about the power of bottom-up efforts, and believe a properly balanced combination of the two is essential. A biodiversity-focused investment on this scale could combine central investment with an approach focused on catalysing, fostering, and scaling bottom-up land-use initiatives and ideas. It could prioritise local communities as workforces and support the emergence of ground-up, decentralised solutions and initiatives over centrally imposed or market-based solutions wherever possible. Such a new deal for the commons would require associated work on reforming land tenure and local democratic and economic institutions on a scale not attempted since the communist project. However, rather than the top-down command and control approach of communism, it would provide a framework, resources and tools for communities to re-learn how to live harmoniously with each other and with nature’s abundance. This approach could spread knowledge, technology and best practice for environmental restoration globally through open sourcing IP and implementing solidarity networks or networks of mutual aid across society. This new deal would also require real action on the national and global level to reform global governance and regulation and build a more just international order and institutions. This would require new agreements such as an international law of “ecocide,” and strengthened international environmental laws and enforcement mechanisms to ensure the compliance of corporations and rogue imperialist nations. This new order would also need to address debt-enslavement, eternal growth imperatives, and rebalance global wealth disparity to stop wealthy nations from shifting the impacts of growth onto vulnerable populations and ecosystems. However, crucially, to bring about this new order, we must find ways to continue challenging the narrow confines of permitted thought and debate keeping us locked in the destructive dominion paradigm. It would need to restore the rule of law and ensure the protection of whistleblowers, journalists, activists and politicians challenging this narrative. If not, who will hold power accountable for their inaction or blocking of real progress? Who will continue to tell the stories and defend the rights of those on the margins building the alternative futures discussed above?" -- 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
