Subject: Re: limits
To: Michel Bauwens I only hoped to relay a few
projects I'm working on, very much aligned I believe with the spirit of
your work - art, design, alternative economies, ecology, participation,
games and co-design. Resources collated below signature. Happy to discuss
them some time, if interested :-)

Warm regards,
Rok

game and platform (description after list)
- *Four Futures Festival + online Anticipedia* open-sourcing
co-generated futures scenarios and scenario fragments to be creatively
combined, and enacted as LARPs
- *A Day in the Life: Public Luxury in 2035
*
made
and used to facilitate an exchange between local climate activists and
George Monbiot, pdf worksheet attached

퐆퐚퐦퐞-퐂퐡퐚퐧퐠퐞퐫퐬: 퐓퐡퐞 퐆퐚퐦퐞
by RoK Kranjc
FREE OF CHARGE / No special knowledge or skills required, however for
PLAYERS critical thinking and knowledge about alternative economies will be
an advantage

Game-Changers: The Game is a project twining alternatives to capitalism,
theories of transformation, participatory futuring techniques and the
codesign of generative games – digital, real-world and hybrid – as sites,
platforms and protocols of and for transformative knowledge, design and
foresight commoning.

It is at once a story-telling board game and a game codesign springboard,
created to engage player-designers in conversations about the various
discourses underlying emerging »new economy« signifiers, such as sharing,
smart, circular and collaborative. To advance in and ultimately win the
game, two teams embodying seemingly diametrically opposite discursive poles
– e.g. Commonism vs. Capitalism / Degrowth vs. Green Growth – compete in
creating compelling social and sustainability transformation storylines in
order to secure primacy over playing fields, consisting of real-world
initiatives, proposals or ideas.

Players shape these storylines by combining Challenge and Intervention
cards (pre-made and impromptu-made) within distinct playing fields, while
JUDGES assess these stories for their “Plausibility” and “Inventiveness”.
The game operationalizes transition theories such as cooptation and Trojan
horses as mechanics, and includes Wildcards, i.e. chance “external” events
which may hold benefits for either team or in other ways alter the game’s
dynamics.

Participants in this workshop will get the chance to learn about new
directions in futures game design and try out Game-Changers: The Game,
developed over a dozen playtests around Europe at venues ranging from
conferences, summer schools to research institutes and activist meetings.

To: 


This latest newsletter from WOLG brings you details about a new issue of
the Journal and a survey to help shape its future in the Open Access era.

*New issue and a survey about the future of the journal in the Open Access
era!*
This latest newsletter from Work Organisation, Labour & Globalisation
brings you details about a new issue of the Journal. We are also looking
for feedback from our contributors and readers about the Journal to help
shape its future in the Open Access era, you can find details about this
below. This newsletter also includes new call for papers for our upcoming
special issue, a book promotion on Ursula Huws' new book with a discount
for WOLG newsletter subscribers and a reminder about our previous issue. We
are still accepting papers for our call for papers on our other special
issue on platform labour in the post-COVID city so you can find more
details below.

The latest issue of Work Organisation, Labour & Globalisation brings
together a collection of articles exploring the effects of work
digitalisation and platformisation. Plus articles about high-skilled
migrant workers and the ‘class ceiling’ faced by working class students
entering professions.

*Give your views about the future of the Journal*
When the Journal was established in 2006, we aimed for it to be
international, interdisciplinary, accessible to non-academics and to
contribute to the development of a dialogue among scholars and policy
makers about the future of work. It has developed a profile as a respected
and widely-cited resource on the restructuring of work and the changing
global division of labour and an international community has grown up
around it.

At a time when academic publishing is facing major new challenges, we are
now formulating plans to take the journal forward in a way that makes it
sustainable in the Open Access era, while staying faithful to our original
aims.

We are inviting you, as a member of our global community, to give us your
views about how the journal should evolve in the future and help us develop
initiatives that can open up new forms of dialogue among contributors and
readers.
Take the survey




*Call for Papers*
This special issue on *Researching Precarious, Virtual and Clandestine
Labour: Methodological and Ethical Challenges *focuses on the challenges
posed by researching non-standard work in the 21st century. We particularly
welcome contributions that look specifically at the methodological and
ethical challenges confronting researchers investigating labour in the
context of digitalisation and globalisation based on recent quantitative or
qualitative research, though this is not a requirement for submission. We
welcome articles from a range of different disciplinary perspectives
including (but not limited to) labour sociology, political economy,
economic geography, urban planning, policy analysis, philosophy, research
methods and gender studies. Articles may draw on the authors’ original
quantitative, qualitative or theoretical research but must demonstrate a
clear contribution to knowledge and go beyond mere literature reviews.
The deadline for submissions is March 28th, 2021 and articles should be
submitted to ursulah...@analyticapublications.co.uk

*NEW BOOK OFFER: 35% off Reinventing the Welfare State: Digital Platforms
and Public Policies by Ursula Huws*
The welfare state is unfit for purpose – how can we transform it into a
force for equality and social justice? As the number of unemployed people
in the UK rise, and we are heading towards one of the greatest recessions
in the history of capitalism, now is the time to think seriously about
rethinking and rebuilding the welfare state for a broken country.
In this book, leading analyst Ursula Huws proposes new and original policy
ideas, including critical discussions of Universal Basic Income and new
legislation for universal workers' rights, as well as outlining a 'digital
welfare state' for the 21st century.
These fresh ideas breathe new life into an outdated system, and herald the
start of a new and
