Call for Paper CONTESTI  1 | 2024

(Re)PRODUCING EVERYDAY LIFE. Urban commoning through care.

Edited by Chiara Belingardi, Gabriella Esposito De Vita, Stefania Ragozino, Tihomir Viderman

EXTENDED DEADLINE - 15 April

Urban Commons express the entanglements among spaces, communities, and governing models. The unceasing process of reconfiguration of the geography of people, activities and rules of self-organization, typical of the commoning process, is based on mutual recognition, shared values, openness, mutualism and care. The three items (commoning, community, space) are equally necessary to the creation of commons, moving towards enabling policies and enabling spaces. This call of CONTESTI aims to collect theoretical, methodological, and empirical contributions that deal with the concepts of urban commons and care, with the focus on (but not restricted to) the following topics: 1. Production of commons - production of values; 2. Care as a social activity and public responsibility; 3. Everyday politics of urban commons; 4. Enabling spaces, enabling policies; 5. Conflict and resistance to urban extractivism; 6. Commons and (agro)ecologies for territorial regeneration; 7. Urban Commoning by care strategies; 8. Women and queer women for urban resistance.
