Solidarity spaces and infrastructures of resistance: Eurpoean group of organization studies

Solidarity spaces and infrastructures of resistance: Eurpoean group of organization studies
Solidarity spaces and infrastructures of resistance: Eurpoean group of organization studies
Exploring the emergence and evolution of solidarity networks, we focus on the emerging anti-neoliberal movement in Greece and suggest that it articulates a process of assembling multiple and intersected socio-spatialities. In particular, we focus on fixed-mobile spaces and explain how sites of resistance, and economic and political experimentation and alternative organizing are being constructed. We discuss two case studies; first, Kolektives, a network of multiple, autonomous, yet intersected spaces of resistance and solidarity that becomes a platform where new socialities and inter-subjectivities emerge. We suggest that such spaces foster affective relations and communal exchanges, while also act as markers of distinctive yet unbounded territorialities. Second, we focus on a solidarity movement, the Vio.Me Solidarity Initiative, which interacts and mobilizes local and translocal resistance multitudes in search of new work and economic relations. We propose that, through ‘subjective de-localization’ (Badiou, 2012), solidarity initiatives enable decentralized collective action. Accordingly, enacting resistance and forming solidarities across space-time lies upon acknowledging the interplay between fixity and mobility, as well as local embeddedness and translocality.

Abstract

Exploring the emergence and evolution of solidarity networks, we focus on the emerging anti-neoliberal movement in Greece and suggest that it articulates a process of assembling multiple and intersected socio-spatialities. In particular, we focus on fixed-mobile spaces and explain how sites of resistance, and economic and political experimentation and alternative organizing are being constructed. We discuss two case studies; first, Kolektives, a network of multiple, autonomous, yet intersected spaces of resistance and solidarity that becomes a platform where new socialities and inter-subjectivities emerge. We suggest that such spaces foster affective relations and communal exchanges, while also act as markers of distinctive yet unbounded territorialities. Second, we focus on a solidarity movement, the Vio.Me Solidarity Initiative, which interacts and mobilizes local and translocal resistance multitudes in search of new work and economic relations. We propose that, through ‘subjective de-localization’ (Badiou, 2012), solidarity initiatives enable decentralized collective action. Accordingly, enacting resistance and forming solidarities across space-time lies upon acknowledging the interplay between fixity and mobility, as well as local embeddedness and translocality.
