As David Harvey writes: ‘The urban obviously functions […] as an important site of political action and revolt’ (Harvey, 2012: 117). He regards territorial organisation and spontaneity, volatility and rapidity as characteristic features of urban political movements (ibid.). Other writers dealing with critical urban theory describe the political and economic tasks relevant groups need to perform. In this round table we wish to inquire into these performances. To this end, we have taken Brenner, Marcuse and Mayer’s finding that the accumulation strategies one finds in cities not only concern capital, but can also be local and highly specific (Brenner, Marcuse and Mayer, 2012: 1) as our starting point for asking the activists themselves how these other strategies and urban change come alive on a grassroots level. RAC-LA from Los Angeles, the New Cross Commoners from London, the CiT Collective from Vienna and Gängeviertel from Hamburg answered our questions concerning the manner in which they organise to ‘save the city’. In this round table, ‘saving’ the city refers to all the various notions of saving: refashioning a civil society by mobilising the public, helping neighbourhoods or urban society in general to cope with current and future challenges such as growing inequality, avoiding the waste of money and resources in their voluntary work by redistributing, reusing or preserving items within the metabolism of the cities, or in many other ways. Some are aligned with the ‘right to the city movement’[1], a name coined by Henry Lefebvre, nowadays an umbrella organisation for activists ‘fighting for democracy, justice and sustainability in our cities’[2]. They share similar ideals, interests and motivations, but have developed diverse ways of pursuing them. All four of them, centred on the fight for space, resources and collectivity, sent contributions in response to our call for participation and contributed their experiences with organising themselves. After sending a questionnaire to four representatives, we compiled them for an activists’ round table which introduces their initiatives and shows how they work. Our questions concerning the ‘how-to’ are focused on methods, skills and calculations like the juggling of finances versus autonomy. The questionnaire enabled us to place different experiences and organisation models side by side, hopefully without losing their original voices.Item Nanopolitics(Edizioni Efesto, 2012-02-10) the nanopolitics group; Dowling, Emma; Rübner Hansen, Bue; Zechner, Manuela; Plotegher, PaoloItem Nanopolitics handbook(Minor Compositions, 2013) the nanopolitics group; Plotegher, Paolo; Zechner, Manuela; Rübner Hansen, Bue; Plotegher, Paolo; Zechner, Manuela; Rübner Hansen, BueItem Nanopolitics: A first outline of our experiments in movement(Cultural Studies Association, 2012) the nanopolitics group; Dowling, Emma; Rübner Hansen, Bue; Zechner, Manuela; Plotegher, PaoloThe London-based nanopolitics group formed around a desire to think politics with and through the body, organising movement, theatre, and somatic based workshops and discussions. Using the term 'nanopolitics' to describe a political engagement that is attentive to the body, the nanopolitics group engage in a first reflection about their project in the text that appears here. They pose a series of questions that emerged from the project and engage in a collective reflection on their work with the body and movement, making a first foray into theorising their practice and its relevance.Item Nanopolitics: Collectively undoing our swallowed no's(Valiz, 2016) the nanopolitics group; Plotegher, Paolo; Afandari, Nelly; Pais, Ana Paula; Strauss, Carolyn F.Item New X Commoners(New Cross Commoners, 2013-12) New Cross Commoners; Plotegher, PaoloItem The process of The Field in New Cross(Canary Press, 2019-06) Austin Locke, Toby; Plotegher, Paolo; Thompson, Rosanna; Members of the Field at New Cross; Austin Locke, Toby; Plotegher, Paolo; Thompson, Rosanna; Herbst, MarcItem Queer therapy, queering therapy: Desire in struggle(Anhembi Morumbi University, 2021-05-24) Plotegher, PaoloThis text draws on personal experience, on the notion of desire in Gilles Deleuze and Felix Guattari, and on possible learnings from the Black Lives Matter movement, to propose an outline of a queering (art)therapy that brings at its core the personal and political struggle of desire.Item Redefining career models: Ambitions, values, stereotypes, or, how to turn a career into a commons [Essay](Brave New Alps, 2014-11) Plotegher, PaoloItem Rhizomatic BZ(Bedford Press, 2016) Plotegher, PaoloItem Schizo-Walks (Robert Walser)(Officin, 2013) Plotegher, Paolo; Hede, Ida Marie; Sørensen, Trine Friis; Nistrup, UrsulaItem Sensibilidades que esperimentan en la ciudad neoliberal(HakaBooks, 2012) the nanopolitics group; Rübner Hansen, Bue; Zechner, Manuela; Plotegher, Paolo; Berti, GabrielaItem "We are the common good": New Cross Commoners' interview for European Alternatives(2014-01-02) New Cross Commoners; Plotegher, Paolo
