Community energy as care infrastructure: Insights from two energy communities in England and Greece
This article examines community energy projects as infrastructures of care, exploring how they address interconnected environmental and social challenges. While grassroots renewable energy projects are often framed in technical or economic terms, we argue that their significance also lies in the relational, ethical and political dimensions of energy provision. Drawing on feminist care ethics, and particularly Tronto's phases of care, we analyse h…
Multiple Geographies of Commons‐Based Peer Production
This article engages from a geographical perspective with commons‐based peer production (CBPP), an emerging socio‐economic activity based on sharing resources and outputs among individuals who collaborate in a non‐hierarchical manner. CBPP was initially used to describe the intangible production of knowledge and information through online cooperation. More recently, this practice grew to include other sectors of production, like hardware developm…
If we can make it there, we can make it everywhere: Grassroots social innovations for post- capitalistic futures
Austerity Infrastructure, Gentrification, and Spatial Violence: A Ceaseless Battle over Urban Space in Exarcheia Neighbourhood
In this paper, we aim to understand how long‐term state neglect of public infrastructure coexists with a renewed emphasis on profit‐driven infrastructure development in urban contexts. We focus on Exarcheia, an Athens neighbourhood known for its radical character, where a lack of public infrastructure investment aligns with plans for new transport infrastructure and urban regeneration. Using a participatory action research approach and engaging i…
Alternative futures “in the making”: Insights from three makerspaces in peripheral Greece
The great environmental and social challenges of recent decades have questioned the hegemony of growth-oriented development and its objectives. Those critiques reexamined growth-based policies and strategies, leading to ‘alternative development’ pathways, the most prominent being sustainable development. Nevertheless, critical scholars have problematized those perceptions and practices, repoliticizing the question of development, connecting it wi…
Is making alternative? Rethinking development in Germany’s makerspaces
This paper explores the ideological backgrounds, normative motivations, and the degrees of alterity among makerspaces in Germany. It does so by connecting the question of alterity to discussions on development, and exploring to what extent and in which ways makerspaces aim to challenge the hegemony of traditional growth-oriented development. The study engages with a broad literature to conceptualize development as a hegemonic discourse and presen…
Theorizing Multiple Geographies: Interrelations of Space and Multiplicity in Geographical Research
Starting from the observation that the notion of "multiple geographies" has gained considerable traction in geographical research in the past years while its theoretical foundations have often remained abstract, in this paper we contribute toward elaboration of multiple geographies as a research perspective, recognizing its potential as a valuable framework for analyzing divergent spatial relations. Initially, we provide an overview of the divers…
Theatre minus physical coexistence – a glimpse into theatrical experimentations in Greece during the pandemic
The peculiar circumstances of the COVID-19 pandemic inevitably lessened the possibilities of physical proximity while a multitude of functions and activities were transferred to the digital space, theatre included. As a result, many cultural institutions, theatrical organisations and theatre artists were forced to experiment with theatrical practices that did not involve the element of physical coexistence between audience and performers. This pa…
The right to public space during the Covid-19 pandemic: A tale of rising inequality and authoritarianism in Athens, Greece
Governmental policies to combat the spread of the novel coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2) have directly and decisively intervened with literally every facet of people’s life transforming the geographies of everyday lives across the Global South and North. In this paper, we explore the shifting relationship of urban dwellers to public space during the COVID-19 pandemic with the aim to unravel the uneven ways lockdown measures and restrictions on movement h…
Where's the "Public" in Public Art. Three Narratives from documenta 14
This paper analyses five public art projects exhibited in documenta 14 in Athens in 2017 that redefine and interact with the public space and therefore, form three different narratives on public space. These narratives are outlined according to the different interpretations of ‘public space’, ‘public sphere’ and democracy by the various artists. Our argument is structured as follows; firstly, we present an analysis of public art and its basic fea…
