[ecrea] Call for Papers for International Conference Sharing Society
Sun Nov 11 09:57:32 GMT 2018
International Conference “Sharing Society. The Impact of Collaborative
Collective Actions in the Transformation of Contemporary Societies“
University of the Basque Country, Bilbao (Spain), May 23-24, 2019
1. Context and Rationale
Although the concept of collective action has been widely used in the
field of social sciences, giving rise to the area of social movements
studies, little research has focused on the collaborative aspect of this
action. In recent years, the emerging field of studies on the “sharing
economy” has shed some long-overdue light on this aspect. However, some
of the cases that have been described as part of this phenomenon, such
as Uber or AirBnB, lack key collaborative traits in both their setup and
praxis. So much so that scholars have called for the use of the term
“true sharing economy” to distinguish the latter from more nuanced and
complex experiences.
The concept of “sharing society” is inspired by the definition of
collaborative collective action (Tejerina, 2016): “the group of
practices and formal and informal interactions that take place among
individuals, collectives or associations that share a sense of belonging
or common interests, that collaborate and are in conflict with others,
and that have the intent of producing or precluding social change
through the mobilization of certain social sectors.”
This conference stems from the research project “Sharing Society. The
Impact of Collaborative Collective Action. Analysis of the Effects of
Practices, Bonds, Structures and Mobilizations in the Transformation of
Contemporary Societies,” funded by the Spanish Ministry of Economy and
Competitiveness (MINECO CSO2016-78107-R), and hosted by the Collective
Identity Research Center, University of the Basque Country (Spain).
2. Scope and Objectives
This international conference sets out to analyse the characteristics,
trajectory and impact of collaborative collective actions in a context
of erosion of the welfare state. It also seeks to present and discuss
the most recent innovations, trends, and concerns, as well as practical
challenges encountered and solutions adopted in the fields of
collaborative collective actions. The conference will address the
following questions:
How, when and where does collaborative collective action occur?
Which are the characteristics of contemporary collaborative collective
action?
What are the practical, symbolic, and legal effects of collaborative
collective actions for the forging and recovery of social bonds?
What forms of interaction emerge from these types of actions?
We invite theoretical and empirical proposals that explore collaborative
collective actions in different areas: work, production, consumption,
culture, art, science, technology, communication, knowledge and
education, solidarity with precarious groups, civic participation and
politics. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
Food and agricultural production: food sovereignty, agro-ecology, zero
kilometre movement, food and sustainable soil experiences, urban
agriculture and community gardens;
Arts: art and the commons, collaborative art and new forms of creative
commons, distributed design;
Science and knowledge: collaborative forms of scientific production,
citizen science;
Care and co-housing: solidarity networks for personal care, health care,
age care, childcare, personal quantification movement, co-housing;
Culture: collaborative culture, open culture movement; sharing
collective memory;
Economy, work and consumption: collaborative economy, circular economy,
new forms of collaborative work and co-working, collaborative
consumption, time banks, platforms for sharing resources and experiences;
Technology: Maker and DIY movement, open source technology initiatives,
network manufacturing, medialab experiences, hacktivism, the role of TIC
for sharing, new onthologies of sharing and sharing platforms;
Politics: collaborative forms of political and institutional governance,
networks of cities, institutions and citizenship, participatory
democracy, participatory budgeting, open government, collective
intelligence for democracy.
We encourage the submission of papers drawing on theoretical and
methodological approaches from diverse fields of study, such as the
social sciences, media and communication studies, humanities,
architecture, urban planning and design. We also invite contributions
from actors working with citizen participation in the sciences, arts,
media and/or politics (e.g. in cultural institutions, cultural policy,
social media platforms, cooperatives, and NGOs).
