I invite you to submit papers to the following panel I am organizing:

From “Alternative Spaces” to Counterpower: Promoting Post Capitalist Livelihoods through Prefigurative Politics

RC47 Social Classes and Social Movements (host committee) Language: English Session Type: Oral How do social movements promote prefigurative political projects that balance the realization of post capitalist livelihoods, while at the same time engaging with previously existing economic, cultural and institutional structures? This panel invites presentations which illustrate processes by which prefigurative political projects become counterpower through the “co-production” of networks of trust and collaboration across different social groups and institutional environments, leading to the diffusion of “socio-ethical and counter-cultural practices” experimented with, enacted and coordinated within “alternative spaces”. It looks specifically for contributions on the scaling up or diffusion of: - Solidarity Economy markets, purchasing groups and other examples of post capitalist re-signification of the market through anti-middleman, producer-to-consumer exchanges that engage producers and consumers in the embedment of economic activity in norms and practices of cooperation, social and environmental justice; - Innovations in communication technology which promote systemic, pattern and relationship-based approaches to the processing of information, as well as cooperative approaches to the processing of exchanges among actors; - Innovations in agricultural, manufacturing and infrastructural technology, based on regenerative approaches which internalize resource use and support production relocalization and food system reterritorialization; - Policy and regulatory innovations which support post capitalist livelihoods, resulting from the engagement of state and political parties in the diffusion of practices developed within “alternative spaces”; - Institutional innovations which promote participatory democracy and the widening of social and economic rights by furthering epistemological, cultural, functional, sexual and gender justice, diversity and inclusion in the construction of post capitalist livelihoods.
