Publication: Social Movements, Markets, and a Commons-based approach in the Digital World

Over the last years, new ways of organizing in the digital world have emerged, raising new moral concerns about the impact not only on workers and consumers, but more generally on how markets are governed and managed. This new scenario has also made possible some alternative forms of organizing, producing and consuming led by social movements, either in clear opposition to capitalistic forms or in hybrid models.

In this workshop framed under the umbrella of the project “Activism, participation, and governance of the digital commons”, we aim to explore the intersection between elements and concepts coming from studies on social movements, moral markets, a commons-based approach, and the digital commons.  

Towards this aim, we have invited prestigious speakers, who through their diverse perspectives and experiences, will provide critical theoretical and practical insights about alternative organizing in the digital age.  

Session 1 "Social movements and moral markets"

Session 2 "Alternative forms of organizing in the digital world"
