Finished

Andreu Belsunces 24/07/2023 10:59

A proposal by Becoming with Holon and Tecnopolitica (IN3-UOC)

Description:
Socio-technical and eco-social transitions toward more sustainable and democratic societies require specific postures and mindsets, new ways of designing, theories of change and visions for transitions.

Decidim is the result of an ever-extending community of practice, a participatory governance infrastructure, a design and organizational culture, and the crystallization of visions of desirable futures.

This session is oriented to test a toolkit that allows to elicit, explore, and expand such visions. Considering Decidim as a prefigurative technopolitical project (and movement) made out of matter and meaning, this toolkit aims to design with expectations for technopolitical transitions. Expectations are semiotic-material and political forces. They are collective visions of the future that coordinate behaviour, meaning and affect in the present.

Objectives:

Understand what kind of promises and expectations are managed within the Decidim community
Stimulate promises and expectations of technopolitical transition
