Subject: FoP RoP - the landscape of the heart-mind in activist practice
To: mh home <michaelhales at mac.com>

Dear all, happy new year / Here’s a link to a blog post which introduces a
recently added section of my FoP RoP website, addressing the landscape of
the heart-mind (‘emotional commons’) in organic intellectual,
libertarian-socialist, cultural-materialist, P2P-commons, activist practice
. .

05 | Walker takes up his place in the scheme of things
  <https://www.foprop.org/blog-1/walker-living-the-activist-life>

> This section includes a piece from 2018 on sectarianism and activism in
’the Lower Left’
>   <https://www.foprop.org/lower-left>

The piece also serves to outline the framework of the whole FoP RoP project
(FoP RoP = Forces of production, relations of production).

> The (under-developed) heart of the project is a ‘pattern language’ for
P2P-commoning. The vocabulary of patterns is yet to be installed (there’s
an outline list of working titles, derived from Bollier & Helfrich). But
there’s quite a bit of work on the architecture that’s appropriate to this
kind of experiential, maker-activist framing. This includes thoughts on
diverse approachs to platforming in a pluriverse of political-cultural
formations
>   <https://www.foprop.org/platforms-in-a-pluriverse>
> And the interweaving - in a commons-of-commons - of commons of material
provision and dependency (including money and software code), commons of
labour-power (including stories and sciences) and emotional commons.
>
> A major strand is work on making 'a living economy', being carried out
within/by a book collective gathered during 2018, in honour of economist
Robin Murray. Not a lot in the FoP RoP website at present, but more to come
over coming months, as work on the book gets into gear. For example, stuff
around literacy of ‘the heart-mind’ will be developed as a contribution in
a stream of work on ‘formacion’ for venturing in the living economy. And
there’ll be stuff on solidarity economy/coops/P2P-commons/OpenApps as
activist formations in ’the new economy'.
>
> There’s also a chunk on the 70s-80s radical science movement
>   <
https://www.foprop.org/blog-1/p2pcommons-the-historical-third-movement-of-radical-science
>
> within a section on historical formations of ‘radical professional’
activism in the baby-boomer generation. History matters? Sometimes, wheels
shouldn’t be reinvented; and sometimes they shouldn’t be re-used!

All these are linked from the above blog piece. I would be delighted to
know what you make of FoP RoP as a project - spun up just 6 months ago.
There’s a Forum section in the website, as yet undeveloped. If you’d like
to pitch in some comments please let me know, and we can ‘christen’ the
forum? Or you could become a contributor to the blog? Alternatively, for
some recipients, we can pick this up in Loomio or social.coop mastodon.

Looking forward to what will hatch in the new year / mike
