SELF ORGANISING


Research
seminar series

QMUL - London 

March - May 2011
http://self-org.blogpost.com









This series is a mixture of workshops and discussions on
self-organisation and non-hierarchical work practices. It aims to bring
together practitioners and theorists of forms of organisation that eschew
hierarchical modes of division of labour as part of a critique of the
imposition of work and productivity for profit to share working practices and
collectively address their problems, obstacles, successes, and aspirations.

 

The encounters aim to provide an initial platform to reflect
on current practices, establish networks and create shared concept-tools that
can be used in different situations. We will begin from our questions,
discomforts and curiosities: What dispositives feed the potential of
collective
practices? What makes self organisation different from self management?
How do
we inhabit, modulate and speak about groups? How do we share tasks, pass on
knowledges, reach out or support each other through this crisis?

 

The guests we have invited will offer some points of
departure for us to take elsewhere. The purpose is to increase our
awareness of
the modalities through which we become, act, and affect one another in
common.
As an experimental beginning, we wanted to focus each of the first set of
encounters around four broad themes. We hope that this project may
continue and
transform itself based on the inputs and desires of all those involved.

 

As part of the project, recordings, materials and other
resources will be made available online here: http://self-org.blogpost.com

All sessions are free and open to the public to participate.
