Description
On 1 July 2019, in the Post-Forum Activities, Katherine GIBSON (Professorial Research Fellow, Institute for Culture and Society, Western Sydney University, Australia) gave her E-Lecture on “Researching Postcapitalist Possibilities”.
The current context of increasing global inequalities, accelerating environmental degradation, and climate change poses significant challenges to imagining and enacting other possible futures. In this presentation, Professor Gibson introduced an agenda for researching post-capitalist possibilities developed by J.K. Gibson-Graham and the Community Economies Collective. This action-oriented agenda combines a politics of language and reframing, a politics of the human and more-than-human subject, and a politics of collective action. She illustrated her presentation with examples drawn from recent action research projects and collaborative attempts to redraw ‘the economy’ as a way of taking it back for people and the planet.
