Walking together in Brooklyn: Alterity, gentrification and data privacy

04Nov4 novembre 2019 By Aurore Dandoy

On October, 25^th 2019, we had the opportunity of a first Open Walked Event-Based Experimentation (OWEE) in the US. The idea of an OWEE is very simple: gathering a group of people who, for most of them, have never met, and co-producing a collective walk along with some analysis about it. An OWEE has thus no particular ‘objective’. It is a drift (“derive”) in a public space, sometimes intertwined with visits of third-spaces or collaborative spaces which are a way to explore further or differently the area around.

The topic of this collaborative learning expedition was Brooklyn, with the general and vague idea to explore its invisible frontiers and atmospheres, and grasp some aspects of the gentrification process here.

Once upon a Walk

In 2016, we began a collective adventure about a collaborative learning expedition we called OWEE (for "Open Walked Event-Based Experimentations"). Since then, we organized 23 OWEEs, wrote a White Paper and started a research project focused on OWEE. This has already produced paper conferences (at LAEMOS, EGOS, AOM, OAP...) and we are now shifting to the stage of writing collaboratively academic articles about these experimentations.

The objectives of the workshop

On June 3-5 2019 (Monday to Wednesday) we will organize at Dauphine a collaborative writing workshop about the potential of OWEE learning

Collaborative Ethnography: Welcoming the Passenger

21Fév21 février 2019 By Aurore Dandoy

By François-Xavier de Vaujany, PSL, Université Paris-Dauphine

Ethnography, auto-ethnography and collaborative ethnography are more and more parts of my research and teaching practices. Open Walked Event-Based Experimentations (OWEE), these collaborative learning expeditions experimented since 2016, have been an opportunity for me to explore further the collaborative side of ethnography with co-produced articles, shared log books and collaborative use of social media.

By means of a movie I use for some of my teachings, the Passenger directed in 1975 by Michelangelo Antonioni, I would like to come back here to three key issues about collaborative ethnography: “reversibility” of the conversation, “silence” and “depth” (more than “perspective”). Those are topics which particularly resonate with the work of the philosopher Maurice Merleau-Ponty and the writer, poet and pioneering aviator Antoine de Saint-Exupéry.

Collaborative ethnography is not about ‘applying’ a research protocol. Sometimes, the use of logbooks in the context of ethnography

Representativeness, Legitimacy & Democracy: Towards a New Politics of Organizing?

21Fév By Aurore Dandoy

The 3rd OOSE workshop at EGOS conference will take place in Edinburgh on July, 3rd 2019 (7.30 PM).

For long, Platon, Condorcet, Arrow have imagined what democracy and democratic organizing could be. The issue of the transitivity of preferences and the right democratic mediations have always been at the heart of the political debate. But social media, new kind of social movements, globalization, all make their view partly obsolescent. None of the founding figures of democratic thoughts ever imagined that a crowd, whatever its diversity of opinions, heterogeneity of physical and temporal presence, could become a mass and perform something political. All this raises new questions for researchers interested in organizing processes. Let’s talk about it!

Michel Serres (2018 : p 10) : « Nous croyons à la dualité de l’âme et du corps. Les Egyptiens, eux, pensaient qu’il y avait trois choses : l’âme, le corps, le Ka, le double, une sorte de fantôme qui vous accompagne partout. Quand je vois les gens dans la rue, fascinés par leur portable, j’ai l’impression qu’ils sont avec leur Ka, leur double ! Les Egyptiens sont revenus ! Quand nous perdons notre portable, la panique nous prend… Nous avons le sentiment de perdre notre identité ! »

Le numérique est aujourd’hui omniprésent dans nos vies, en particulier avec un objet : le smartphone. En revenant sur la mythologie égyptienne, Michel Serres le compare au « Ka », ce double fantomatique qui

RGCS opens a chapter in Washington!

The Greater Washington (or Capital) region has a population in excess of 6 million people with a diversifying business presence and a gradually shrinking federal government presence. Five counties across the region are among the top ten counties in the country for median household income. The region is also well represented among the most educated residents across the country. There has been good and steady growth across Greater Washington in the last decade, with the District of Columbia increasing from approximately 550,000 people in the early 2000s to over 700,000 residents today.

Surprisingly, although it is the capital of the county, there are many “sectors” other than the federal government that make up the business life of this region. The leading hotel companies in the world are based in Greater Washington – Hilton, Marriott, Choice, Ritz, Host and other ones are headquartered in and around

What will work look like in 2030?

Work is changing and so is society as a whole. Debates on its future have been particularly animated over the past three years, (re)launched by discussions on digital technologies, self-employment, individuals with multiple careers (slashers), universal income, or questions of new forms of management, solidarity and governance.

Focusing on employment, work or management practices, these debates have had one merit: to bring to light the multiple possible futures of work.

« Slashers », pluriactivité et transformations du travail : opportunité ou menace pour le management ?

Pluriactif !

Les exemples abondent autour des nous : journaliste-écrivain, chauffeur privé-gérant d’une supérette, infirmier-professeur de yoga, enseignant en anglais-traducteur, freelancer multiple… Les pluriactifs n’ont jamais été aussi nombreux. Ils incarnent à la fois un espoir (dans la lutte contre le chômage et l’augmentation du niveau de revenu) et une inquiétude (notamment celle d’une société faite de travailleurs plus fragiles et plus dépendants).

La pluriactivité : un phénomène complexe et difficile à quantifier

Une étude du salon des microentreprises en dénombrait 4,5 millions en 2015. Ils sont plutôt jeunes (22 % des actifs de moins de trois ans auraient au moins deux activités) et pour 64 % d’entre eux motivés par la recherche de revenus complémentaires. Freelancers pour 10 %, associés pour 6 % ou dirigeants d’entreprise à hauteur de 5 %, ils sont 7 % à tester … Read more
