White Paper (Alpha) in English is out

The English-Speaking version of RGCS White Paper (Alpha version) is now on line:

« RGCS White Paper Alpha version« 

This Alpha version offers a starting point and a vision for the elaboration of RGCS White Paper (see this document:  A process for RGCS White Paper).

Next versions will be less ‘academic’ and more focused on cases and propositions.

But RGCS is an academic network, and the starting point of its analysis of collaborative communities in the city is necessarily a little bit academic 🙂

Looking forward to your feedbacks (collaborativespaces@gmail.com)

Best regards,

The coordinators of RGCS

Visualizing hackers, visualizing hacking: Making visible the invisible?

Visualizing hackers, visualizing hacking: Making visible the invisible?

Hackers’ gesture is expected to be relatively invisible, both as a process and a result. Their level of expressivity is quite low.

The idea is to capture in different ways an unexpected emotional, aesthetic, material, dynamic.

With pictures (or other artistic artifacts), contributors are invited to visit hacker spaces and hacker places in Berlin (21st– 23rd June).

The results will be exhibited during RGCS Symposium the 16th December in Paris (Mairie de Paris).

Management as Transformative of Society and Politics

Management as Transformative of Society and Politics

Management is a tricky, pervasive word today. Everybody manages something: a budget, a house, a family, a team, a car… Beyond the omnipresence of management as a discourse and buzzwords, what is less obvious is the growing transformative effect of management (as a practice) on our everyday lives. Management transforms deep dimensions of our sense of togetherness and even, political life. The way we move inside and outside the city, the way we express (or not) ourselves in the context of public debates, modes of legitimacy and representativeness, are deeply changed, in particular by contemporary entrepreneurs and their disruptive business models. Their models are not only disruptive for their industry. There are also (and more and more) transformative for democracy, public infrastructure and public life at large.

The political effects of management are not new. In the 20s and 30s, Henry Ford, with his T model, also changed American society, … Read more
