Relations with the public

new political identities and notions of justice. Consider the rise of the Occupy Movement. Occupy Wall Street groups eschew specific goals or programs other than a general commitment to social justice and in part emerge as new political identities. They inscribe new ways of acting in concert and creating participatory modes of acting. They are also elements of a participatory public sphere that is deemphasized in Johnson and Knight’s experimentalism. Yet participatory democracy was what Dewey had in mind with his notion of a great community. It is better found in the deliberative democracy found in the Occupy movement than the planned experiments of Johnson and Knight. Democratic social movements suggest that democratic innovation requires a much broader notion of practical reason than Johnson and Knight suggest. Where Johnson and Knight see everyday social action as simple convention, from the participants’ perspective it is a reflexive form of mutual understanding. Social interaction takes place through structures of mutual accountability, in which our reflexivity extends to our own identities and ethical/moral frameworks. This notion of reflexive monitoring of action and the creation of new democratic forms, however, entails a communicative not a strategic notion of action.

Rebel Cities: From the Right to the City to the Urban Revolution

In this article we look at repair as an emergent focus of recent activism in affluent societies, where a number of groups are reclaiming practices of repair as a form of political and ecological action. Ranging from those that fight for legislative change to those groups who are trying to support ecological and social change through everyday life practices, repair is beginning to surface tensions in everyday life and as such poses opportunities for its transformation. We survey a few of the practices that make up this movement in its various articulations, to take stock of their current political import.

While we suggest that these practices can be seen as an emergent lifestyle movement, they should not be seen as presenting a unified statement. Rather, we aim to show that they articulate a spectrum of political positions, particularly in relation to the three specific issues of property, pedagogy and sociality. These three dimensions are all facets of current internal discrepancies of repair practices and moreover express potential bifurcations as this movement evolves. Drawing on a diverse methodology that includes discourse analysis and participant observation, we suggest some of the ways in which this growing area of activity could play a significant role in resisting the commodification of the everyday and inventing postwork alternatives.

The politics of collective repair: examining object-relations in a postwork society

‘A lot of things need to be repaired and a lot of relationships are in need of a knowledgeable mending. Can we start to talk/write about them?’ This invitation — sent by one of the authors to the others — led us, as feminist women in academia, to join together in an experimental writing about the effects of COVID‐19 on daily social practices and on potential (and innovative) ways for repairing work in different fields of social organization. By diffractively intertwining our embodied experiences of becoming together‐with Others, we foreground a multiplicity of repair (care) practices COVID‐19 is making visible. Echoing one another, we take a stand and say that we need to prevent the future from becoming the past. We are not going back to the past; our society has already changed and there is a need to cope with innovation and repairing practices that do not reproduce the past.

Covid-19 as a breakdown in the texture of social practices.

The Social (Re)Production of Architecture brings the debates of the ‘right to the city’ into today’s context of ecological, economic and social crises. Building on the 1970s’ discussions about the ‘production of space’, which French sociologist Henri Lefebvre considered a civic right, the authors question who has the right to make space, and explore the kinds of relations that are produced in the process. In the emerging post-capitalist era, this book addresses urgent social and ecological imperatives for change and opens up questions around architecture’s engagement with new forms of organization and practice. The book asks what (new) kinds of ‘social’ can architecture (re)produce, and what kinds of politics, values and actions are needed.

The book features 24 interdisciplinary essays written by leading theorists and practitioners including social thinkers, economic theorists, architects, educators, urban curators, feminists, artists and activists from different generations and global contexts. The essays discuss the diverse, global locations with work taking different and specific forms in these different contexts.

A cutting-edge, critical text which rethinks both practice and theory in the light of recent crises, making it key reading for students, academics and practitioners.

The Social Re Production of Architecture : Politics, Values and Actions in Contemporary Practice

Since the end of the 2012 Olympic Games, London’s residents and tourists have been awaiting the spectacular redevelopment of the former Olympic venue into the Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park (QEOP), which comprises the city’s ‘newest park’. As the most visible legacy of the Games, it has become a key test case for demonstrating the public interest of London 2012 and its legacy. In this article we engage with the park in the first year after its opening, when it became the site of a range of public cultural projects commissioned by the London Legacy Development Corporation, which manages post-Olympic redevelopment. Through observant participation in one such commission, a six-month mobile residency on site, we gained insights into the tensions emerging from claims to publicness in the making of this new ‘private-public park’, further explored through interviews and visual methods. We propose the term architectures of spectacle to analyse the logic expressed in the design and management of the park and discuss its articulation across three dimensions: (in)visibility, micro-regulation and disorientation. We critically analyse each of these elements and their relationship to competing claims of publicness and the ‘security legacy’ of the Games, raising wider questions about the spectacular public performance of the post-Olympic legacy.

‘This is a private-public park’: Encountering architectures of spectacle in post-Olympic London

This chapter aims to open up some questions around care and the production of 1 architecture and space. I consider both the spatiality of care and how care as a practice might involve working with different concepts of space. Following feminists thinkers and activists, especially Maria Mies, Veronika Bennholdt-Thomsen, Silvia Federici and architect Leslie Kanes Weisman, I explore how such concepts have, historically at least, structured dominant value systems that marginalise and disavow care labour. Through this discussion I want to make a case for the importance of including care within our understandings of architectural production, to highlight a critical yet often unseen relationship between space, architecture and care.
