On Friday, Professor Christian Iaione will be involved in a “charrette,” which is an intense and fast-paced type of workshop for 10-15 people.
The focus is on speculating social science, which involves combining analysis and action constructively. The purpose of the event is to explore the relationship between community and property and generate proposals for “experimental property.”
On the first day, there will be presentations from three “theorists” and three “practitioners,” while on the second day, the two groups will come together for an intensive day of speculation. The exercises will focus on imagining possibilities and determining the necessary conditions for those possibilities to become plausible.
The goal is to move ideas from the realm of possibility to that of plausibility and create networks for implementation.
The event encourages participants to share new, revised, ongoing, or unconventional ideas on the topic.
The professor will speak at the charrette specifically about Maintenance, and more specifically, about the LabGov “Beni Comuni + Co-Cities Project.”
