I am glad to share an exciting call for paper for the 4th International symposium of the Research Group on Collaborative Spaces (RGCS), co-organized by Julie Fabbri, and open to various questions regarding the multifaceted social concept of “commons”!
This multidisciplinary symposium, entitled “Designing the Commons: Collaborative spaces, Open communities, Smart cities”, aims to go beyond traditional academic frameworks by investigating the new collaborative practices inspired by the commons in the workplace, in the city, in social movements, and their impact on public and private organizations and on society.
As such, this 4th RGCS symposium is open to various academic approaches & reading grids focusing on commons, collaborative spaces & practices and the transformation of cities through diverse & complementary research questions:
- Digital commons and their impact on organizations, cities, societies
- Open innovation & entrepreneurship and how it is grounded, justified, fed by open knowledge and commons
- Spatial, temporal, visual, and material dimensions of commoning in changing cities & ecosystems
- ‘Gilets jaunes’ and commons
- Historical views on commons in the city, comparative historical perspectives on the phenomena
- New work practices & future of work
- And so on…
The 2020 RGCS symposium will take place in Lyon, 23rd-24th January 2020.
