dear michel,<br><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div class="im"><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); padding-left: 1ex;">This is well put, and for me the one of the key arguments put forward by my own P2P Theory is indeed, yes, technogical affordances matter tremendously (that does not mean they come out of nothing themselves though, but once there, they are a very important factor in determing social realities), and create new possibilities that did not exist previously. So my answer would be that peer production has been enabled by technology and would not exist on the scale we know, without it. That does not mean that societies without it have no emancipatory possibilities, but they would be different ones. Digital technologies affording 'peer production' create distinct possiblities for emancipation through autonomous distributed physical and virtual production</blockquote>
