Title
Precarity as a common foundation for 'Networks of Subsistence'
Author
Abstract
The paper builds a theoretical analyses contrasting relevant literature around issues of precarity, social reproduction and practices of Commoning. By doing so, the paper raises how alternative methods of creative-social organization responding to precarity should incorporate what feminist economists' Maria Mies and Veronika Benholdt-Thomsen has coined as 'subsistence perspective' (1999). By drawing on Spanish architect collective Recetas Urbanas (Urban Prescriptions) and, more concretely, their role in the network Arquitecturas Colectivas (Collective Architecture), the paper proposes how a 'subsistence perspective' could beneficiate from, what will be addressed as, a 'network of subsistence'. Taken together this text represents a first approximation on future theoretical analyses around the possibilities of decentralized organizational structures based on the Commons through a Marxist Feminist perspective of reproductive work and everyday relations.
