CALL FOR CONTRIBUTIONS<\/strong><\/p>\n

The main theme for the 2023 edition of the international conference \u201cSocial and Solidarity Economy and the Commons\u201d is the emergence of a \u201cpluriverse\u201d in the fields of solidarity economy and the commons. This results from the aggregation of diverse epistemologies, narratives, and strategies for social transformation that criticise and deconstruct the downsides of modernity as a social project. For Mignolo and Escobar (2010), these include a \u201cdisembeddedness\u201d, resulting from a \u201cmarginalization of place (the here and now of social action) in the definition of social life\u201d (p. 36). It also includes a \u201cdomination and disenchantment that came about with secularization and the predominance of instrumental reason to the normalization of life and the disciplining of populations\u201d to \u201cthe extreme economization and technification of the world\u201d (p. 36-7).<\/p>\n

We invite researchers and practitioners to submit proposals for contributions to the conference. We aim to promote interdisciplinary and transdisciplinary perspectives at both theoretical, conceptual and methodological levels. Submissions might be based on formal research or on concrete activist, economic or public policy initiatives.<\/p>\n

The conference is structured around\u00a0six\u00a0thematic fields<\/strong>:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Criticisms of modernity, post-material worldviews and their contribution<\/strong>\u00a0to social movements and initiatives promoting solidarity economy and the commons;<\/li>\n
  2. Indigenous epistemologies and popular knowledges<\/strong>\u00a0(epistemologies of traditional peoples and communities);<\/li>\n
  3. Ongoing tensions between transformation and cooptation<\/strong>\u00a0in solidarity economy and commons-based initiatives and movements (including cultish or other forms of authoritarian dynamics based on charisma,\u00a0spiritual\/ideological creed or the spread of disinformation, including those of ethnonationalist, backlash social movements, reactionary and anti-democratic movements);<\/li>\n
  4. Contributions\u00a0<\/strong>of solidarity economy, commons and community-led initiatives\u00a0to emancipatory movements<\/strong>, deepening democracy as well as civil society-led<\/strong>\u00a0strategies of \u201csoft\u00a0<\/strong>power\u201d in international, regional and local relations<\/strong>;<\/li>\n
  5. Contributions of knowledge, technologies and organisational forms<\/strong>, developed within solidarity economy, commons and community-led initiatives,\u00a0to biopolitical forms of social control (i.e. \u201ctechnologies of the self\u201d), as well as state-led strategies of \u201csoft power\u201d in international, regional and local relations<\/strong>.<\/li>\n
  6. Structural Inequalities and the challenges faced by minorities and other disadvantaged groups<\/strong>\u00a0in the pursuit of environmental and social justice through solidarity economy and commons-based initiatives and movements. These include inequalities and challenges\u00a0enhanced by\u00a0the\u00a0\u201cgreen gentrification\u201d that is often unintentionally caused by the presence of such initiatives, as well as state-led urban and rural planning strategies for sustainability based on commons and commoning.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Attention: For further information on each thematic field, please consult the annexed Conference Proposal.<\/p>\n

    Session on Research and Methods Design<\/h3>\n

    We strongly encourage the submission of paper proposals by Ph.D. students on the methodological and ethical dimensions of research within these six fields of inquiry, with the purpose of organising a workshop on this topic for early career scholars, which will take place during the conference.<\/p>\n

    We will post regular updates about the organisation of this conference on the event\u2019s webpage (https:\/\/ssecommons.cei.iscte-iul.pt<\/a>\u00a0), as well as send them by e-mail and through the social media accounts of CEI-IUL (Facebook and Twitter).
