“…). All of this literature considers how relationships of production, consumption, labour/work, and property are reconfigured through experimentation with alternative economic models guided by notions of autonomy, solidarity, equality, and care (Diprose ). While the “community economies” literature in geography has engaged little with the possibilities offered by digital technologies, others have examined the alternative models of production and consumption in the free software movement (Söderberg ) and the broader possibilities for commons‐based modes of peer production made possible through the internet (Bauwens ; Benkler and Nissenbaum ).…”

“…In exploring the values, beliefs, and practices of this movement, I bring geographic discussions on processes of digitalisation and the “smart city” into critical conversation with work on urban political movements and alternative economies. I build on previous work on grassroots urban movements that aim to radically remake the socio‐political and economic relations of the city by enacting alternative practices—a kind of prefigurative politics of grassroots city‐making (Davidson and Ivseson ; Gray ; Wanzer‐Serrano ); and I highlight the importance of exploring the possibilities for alternative economic arrangements and practices based on post‐capitalist logics (Diprose ; Gibson‐Graham ; Healy et al. ; Zanoni et al.…”

Scholars have offered important critiques of the socio‐spatial processes of contemporary technological development, including the rise of “smart city” urban development models. While these critiques have been essential for understanding contemporary forms of techno‐capitalism and their reach into new areas, this paper calls for a consideration of alternative modes of digital development in urban life beyond the logics of securitisation and capital accumulation. In particular, I examine the critical discourses and experimental practices of a grassroots movement focused on claiming “technological sovereignty” (TS) in Barcelona. The TS movement is a broad, de‐centralised network of cooperatives, associations, and community initiatives experimenting with alternative practices of locally rooted, open‐source digital development. These groups explore democratic and cooperative practices of work, property, production, and consumption in relation to digital technology, based around an ethics of care and a commitment to working through and within local communities. In examining the values, beliefs, and practices of the TS movement, I bring ongoing discussions around digitalisation and the “smart city” into critical conversation with the extensive literature on prefigurative urban politics and postcapitalist economies.

“…In addition to prioritizing private economic interests and profits, the New Zealand experiment constrained access to social benefits and heralded the importance of paid work to good citizenship. However, important scholarship in New Zealand troubles unitary notions of neoliberalism as demonstrated through transformations within the Māori economy (Underhill-Sem and Lewis 2008; see also Bargh 2011; Bargh and Otter 2009) and within diverse and relational economies throughout Aotearoa New Zealand (Diprose, Thomas and Bond 2016;Diprose et al 2017;Higgins and Larner 2017;Thomas 2015;Thomas and Bond 2016).…”

“…These worldviews treat space and time and culture in ways that can innovatively expand ways of knowing in many dimensions. And, these are the dimensions that are required to understand how to address wider issues of global concern of the Anthropocene (Diprose et al 2017;Roelvink 2015;Sepie 2017;Underhill-Sem 2015). Many of us in our network are indeed involved in collectives actively working for change in the specific places we find ourselves (Cave et al 2012) and other techno-activist groups internationally and nationally; some of these groups meet and coordinate via our nationwide university videoconferencing system and the national online portal for social science, eSocSci.…”

Gender, Place & Culture

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Place, culture and time are significant in our gendered experiences as teachers and scholars of feminist geography. Our context is complex, situated, sometimes joyful and sometimes hurtful, but also intriguing and exciting. Aotearoa New Zealand is a nation of promise, potential and enigma: it was the first country in the world where women gained the vote in 1893 and now boasts the youngest woman world leader in 2017. It is also a postcolonial nation where structural racism, homophobia, and sexism persist, yet it also has given legal personhood to a river. During the 2017 national election a young Pākēha (New Zealander of European descent) woman lead her party to victory while a young Māori (Indigenous New Zealander) woman was ousted as head of her political party. The former secured the leadership of her party six weeks out from election day; the latter became a spokeswoman and advocate for those negotiating the intersections of poverty, motherhood and ethnicity. In this Country Report, we reflect on our current political and cultural context to highlight some of the common themes Aotearoa New Zealand-based feminist geographers have been exploring in research, teaching and praxis. We have published this piece as a network of feminist geographers, the Women and Gender Geographies Research Network (WGGRN), which is an alliance of people who learn, teach and research gender in geography and related disciplines throughout the country. We have embraced this acronym to express the collective nature of the knowledge making process. In writing this piece, our preference was to not italicise words from te reo Māori (the Māori language) that are

Troubling care in the neonatal intensive care unit

2020

The neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) is a site of medical treatment for premature and critically ill infants. It is a space populated by medical teams and their patients, as well as parents and family. Each actor in this space negotiates providing and practicing care. In this paper, we step away from thinking about the NICU as only a space of medical care, instead, taking an anti-essentialist view, re-read care as multiple, while also troubling the community of care that undergirds it. Through an examination of the practice of kangaroo care (skin-to-skin holding), human milk production and feeding, as well as, practices related to contact/touch, we offer a portrait of the performance of the community of care in the space of the NICU. We argue that caring practices taking place in the NICU are multiple and co-produced, while simultaneously being subject to power and knowledge differentials between actors. Here we analyze the negotiations over the knowledge and practice of care(s) to open up the NICU as a particular community of care, and consider care as a both a joint accomplishment and a gatekeeping practice.
