Book review: making other worlds possible: performing diverse economies edited by Gerda Roelvink, Kevin St. Martin and J. K. Gibson-Graham
Get PDFIn Making Other Worlds Possible: Performing Diverse Economies, members of the Communities Economy Collective engage with the research programme outlined by feminist economic geographers J.K. Gibson-Graham, attempting to make visible and amplify the diverse, noncapitalist economies that already exist in the shadow of capitalism. The contributors to the edited collection of Gerda Roelvink, Kevin St. Martin and J.K. Gibson-Graham carry out vital work, dislocating the boundaries of what might be conceived of as ‘the economy’. Yet how Gibson–Graham’s framework might speak to those wishing to reform capitalism itself remains to be seen, writes Paul Gilbert
Biofuels, ex-felons, and empower, a worker-owned cooperative : performing enterprises differently
No full textIncreasingly we are seeing innovative economic transformations being pioneered outside the realm of traditional economic development policy and practice (Allard, Davidson, and Matthaei 2008; Cameron 2010). The (capitalist) "business as usual" orientation of most economic development activity is, it seems, unable to deliver widespread benefit to people or environments. All around the world people are experimenting with new kinds of enterprises intent on producing more equitable, inclusive, sustainable, and resilient economies (Gibson-Graham, Cameron and Healy 2013)

No full textJ.K. Gibson-Graham\u27s reconceptualization of the economy provides an innovative framework for critical reflection on the discourses and practices of capitalist development. By providing new tools of geographical analysis to understand the diversity of practices and actors that animate economic dynamics, her work illustrates the great heterogeneity of existing economic experiences and the trajectories of community economies irreducible to the capitalist regime of representation. The book edited by Antònia Casellas, through her reading of J.K. Gibson-Graham, urges us to widen the field of the possible and to imagine alternative ways of inhabiting the world.La reconceptualización de la economía propuesta por J.K. Gibson-Graham habilita un marco innovador para la reflexión crítica respecto de los discursos y prácticas del desarrollo capitalista. Proporcionando nuevas herramientas de análisis geográfico para comprender la diversidad de prácticas y actores que animan las dinámicas económicas, su trabajo ilustra la gran heterogeneidad de experiencias económicas existentes y las trayectorias de economías comunitarias irreductibles al régimen de representación capitalista. El libro editado por Antònia Casellas, por medio de su lectura de J.K. Gibson-Graham, insta a ampliar el campo de lo posible y a imaginar formas alternativas de habitar el mundo
Framing essay: subjectivity in a diverse economy
No full textIn its nearly 30-year history, diverse economies scholarship has used a wide variety of thinking traditions to understand economic subjectivity and theorize subjects who might desire and enact postcapitalist community economies. In this chapter we aim to clarify what the term ‘subject’ has come to mean in the context of a diverse, more-than-capitalist, economy. We introduce an open-ended and anti-essentialist approach to the ‘decentred subject’ that has been core to diverse economies thinking (Gibson-Graham 2006, 2008). First, we contrast this approach to two competing theories of economic subjectivity that are informed by theoretical humanism and structuralism respectively. We then chart how thinking about the decentred subject of a diverse economy has developed, concluding with recent thinking that demotes the primacy of the ‘human’ subject. We argue that holding on to the open, experimental disposition of the decentred subject is crucial at a time when much of what has appeared solid – democracy, so-called global capitalism, and the stability of the earth’s life giving ecologies – appears to be faltering
The Violence of Development: Two political imaginaries
No full textJ.K. Gibson-Graham explores two responses to the violence of development – the politics of empire and the politics of place. Drawing on the well-known book Empire by Hardt and Negri, the experience of the SID project on Women and the Politics of Place, and a slum dwellers' initiative in India, she attempts to open up alternatives to the dominance of capital and affirm a new political space.

Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Get PDFThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
Variations on the Author
Get PDF“Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship
