Commoning Design and Designing Commons - Interactive Workshop @ PDC 2020 15-19 June 2020, Colombia Manizales
Dear colleagues, <br> <br>we want to draw your attention and invite you to participate to the <br>workshop: /Commoning Design and Designing Commons/, which will take <br>place at the next Participatory Design Conference (PDC) 2020 <br>"Participation(s) Otherwise", in Colombia (Manizales). <br> <br>In this workshop, we aim to explore the relevance of the /commons /(as <br>an objective) and /commoning/ (as a way of doing and being) for <br>Participatory Design activities, especially for those that aim seriously <br>and critically at supporting sustainable futures for all (not only <br>humans). There seems to currently be a lack of infrastructures to <br>cultivate and care for commoning approaches. The available technologies, <br>spaces and organization principles are mainly focused in dealing with <br>scarcity and private property. There is a need to look for broader <br>spectrum issues, not to run the risk of making it too easy to abuse <br>resources, too difficult to make contributions, or embrace pluralities. <br>Furthermore, issues of passing on ‘best practices’ related to commoning <br>seem to always pose challenges. The need to connect commoning practices <br>to the variety of cooperative subjects transforming our society is also <br>urgent [20]. Based on the above, we seek contributions that highlight, <br>reflect and raise awareness around some of these questions: <br> <br> * How can we design better infrastructures and frameworks that enable, <br> mediate, protect, and foster the emerging and increasingly complex <br> commoning practices? <br> * What new design vocabulary, principles, policies, guidelines, and <br> practices are needed to contribute to co-designing commons? How to <br> connect this vocabulary with the one of feminism, environmentalism, <br> indigenous movements, and the other transformative movements <br> populating our common world? <br> * How to articulate collaborative practices with sharing resources in <br> the long run? What kind of alliances need to be made? Which ones <br> should be unmade? <br> * How to deal with the contradictions that arise from cultivating <br> commons in capitalist societies and in individualistic cultures? <br> * What is to be learned from activist commoners globally already <br> experimenting with and applying new practices of commoning? <br> * What other commons-based practices can we learn from indigenous <br> knowledge and sharing traditions? <br> <br>Our intention is to continue ongoing efforts to link discussions and <br>research done in a commoning framework to collaborative practices found <br>in design around (more established) human but also (emergent) planet <br>centred design, participatory design and open design, and in line with <br>the PDC2020 theme, for Participation(s) otherwise. <br> <br>*How to participate:* <br>Interested participants can send a brief position paper reflecting on a <br>current project or case on the theme /commons/commoning/ and <br>/participatory design/ (1 A4 page case/project presentation, in PDF, to <br>be extended if accepted to workshop) to both: <br>Joanna (jsaa@itu.dk) and Giacomo (gipo@itu.dk), with the e-mail subject: <br>"PDC2020: Commoning Design WS" <br> <br>Deadline for position papers is *30th March* <br>Selected participants will be informed by *15th April* <br>The full-day workshop will be held on *15th or 16th June* (tbc soon on <br>website) <br> <br>*Workshop organizers:* <br>- Andrea Botero, Aalto University, Finland/Universidad de los Andes – <br>Colombia <br>- Sanna Marttila, IT University of Copenhagen, Denmark <br>- Giacomo Poderi, IT University of Copenhagen, Denmark <br>- Joanna Saad-Sulonen, IT University of Copenhagen, Denmark <br>- Anna Seravalli, Malmö University, Sweden <br>- Maurizio Teli, Aalborg University, Denmark <br>- Frederick M.C van Amstel, UTFPR, Brazil <br> <br>Read more about the workshop at: <br>https://blogit.itu.dk/commoning/commoning-design-workshop-pdc2020/ <br>For more information on PDC2020 "Participation(s) Otherwise", visit: <br>http://www.pdc2020.org/ <br> <br> <br>Best regards, <br>Giacomo <br> <br>-- <br>Giacomo Poderi <br>/Assistant Professor/ <br>IT University of Copenhagen, Digital Design Department. <br>Rued Langgaards Vej 7, DK-2300 Copenhagen S, Denmark. <br> <br>/The Long Now of the Commons/ (17/10/2019) Event Report available here <br>. <br>Latest publication: Sustaining platforms as commons <br>. <br>/Codesign/ 15(3). <br>Editorial board member of /Tecnoscienza - Italian Journal of Science and <br>Technology Studies/ <br>. <br>_______________________________________________ <br>EASST's Eurograd mailing list <br>Eurograd (at) lists.easst.net <br>Unsubscribe or edit subscription options: http://lists.easst.net/listinfo.cgi/eurograd-easst.net <br> <br>Meet us via https://twitter.com/STSeasst <br> <br>Report abuses of this list to Eurograd-owner@lists.easst.netview formatted text
