By reorganizing access to a wide spectrum of fundamental domains, such as education, housing, health care, or even political information, platforms are destined to become the most powerful players regulating the way we live in cities. Digital platforms such as Facebook, Uber, Airbnb and Amazon embody not only new types of enterprises but also a completely new culture of life—from the products we handle and the services we use every day to entire urban neighbourhoods that will be built by major platform enterprises in the next few years. These multi-scalar changes raise significant questions about the social potentials and risks of the architecture of these all-encompassing ecosystems.

They act as globalization’s safety valve while also providing livelihoods for millions of people trading in the streets of cities around the world.
This book tracks the powers, currents and actors driving informal trade. It documents the growing influence informal economies are having on human co-existence on a planetary scale. Informal markets may have turned into key urban economic frontiers, but can they also produce positive social and political change?
Exploring the conflicted realities of informal market worlds, this reader brings together texts on urban informality, global struggle and design activism by eminent scholars and practitioners, including Teddy Cruz, Alejandro Echeverri, Fonna Forman, Keith Hart, Peter Mörtenböck, Helge Mooshammer, Vyjayanthi Rao, Ananya Roy, Saskia Sassen, Richard Sennett, AbdouMaliq Simone, Gayatri Chakravorty Spivak, Jean-Philippe Vassal, Matias Viegener and many others.

Informal markets may have turned into key urban economic frontiers, but can they also produce positive social and political change?
Bringing into focus the contested spaces at the bottom of the world economy, this atlas presents 72 case studies of informal marketplaces around the world—from Kabul’s post-conflict Bush Bazaar to Casablanca’s counterfeit markets, from street vending in Bangkok’s “red zones” to cross-border trade between Haiti and the Dominican Republic, and from the 7th Kilometre container market in Odessa to New York’s booming hipster markets.

Von New York bis Kairo, von Hongkong bis Berlin: Weltweit sind neue Protestbewegungen angetreten,... more Von New York bis Kairo, von Hongkong bis Berlin: Weltweit sind neue Protestbewegungen angetreten, öffentlichen Raum in ein politisches Commons zu verwandeln. Gegenüber dem Machtmonopol krisenhafter Systeme setzen sie auf die kreative Kraft von kollektiver Selbstbestimmung. Mit Zeltlagern, Straßenküchen und Volksuniversitäten hat die Occupy-Bewegung diese konfliktreichen Auseinandersetzungen um direkte Demokratie, soziale Gerechtigkeit und ökonomische Alternativen auch in die Zentren der westlichen Welt gebracht.
Dieses Buch diskutiert die Ausgangslage sowie Schauplätze und Perspektiven einer globalen Kultur des Widerstands: Welche Spannungen entfalten sich zwischen ihren physischen und symbolischen Räumen, subjektiven und globalen Dimensionen? Was hat sich mit den Besetzungen verändert und wie geht der Widerstand weiter? Ein Buch über die Chancen und Hindernisse von Protest zu Beginn des 21. Jahrhunderts.

Social networking, political projects, cross-border movements, artistic interventions, urban and environmental initiatives, self-organized educational practices – all articulate the challenges involved in organizing the spaces we share.
In this volume, visual culture scholars from around the world discuss the »practical turn« in different fields of critical engagement, proposing fresh ways to assert an interpenetrated space of research and intervention.
With contributions by Jorella Andrews, Margot Bouman, Irene Nierhaus, Eva Egermann & Elke Krasny, Eduard Freudmann & Ivana Marjanovic, Krista G. Lynes, Suzana Milevska, Lee Rodney, Ernst van der Wal, Dan S. Wang and others.

In our world of flows, networks have become the most powerful tool in how we organise our lives: ... more In our world of flows, networks have become the most powerful tool in how we organise our lives: Networks dominate the rise of global capitalism and its shadow economies, the emergent forms of extrastate control and resistance movements, the worldwide expansion of consumerism and communitarian subcultures. The struggle between network formations produces a space that is both fragmented and contested, yet testifies to the creativity of its inhabitants.
Networked Cultures traces these conflictual negotiations in dialogue with artists, architects, curators and theorists whose work explores possibilities for a multi-inhabitation of territories and narratives across cultural, social or geographic boundaries. Through their shared experiences and accompanying case studies, this book offers an insight into the complex spatial and social realities of globalisation, from city-like informal markets in Moscow and the post-war self-urbanisation in Kosovo to the border economies of the Mediterranean and the parallel worlds of today’s burgeoning megacities.
With essays by Adrian Blackwell, Marina Grzinic, Irit Rogoff and AbdouMaliq Simone, and conversations with Özge Açıkkol, Azra Akšamija, Ayreen Anastas, Ricardo Basbaum, Helmut Batista, Jochen Becker, Matei Bejenaru, Ursula Biemann, Sylvie Blocher, Stefano Boeri, Katherine Carl, Sarah Carrington, Branka Ćurčić, François Daune, Igor Dobricic, Ana Dzokic, Joan Escofet, Jesko Fezer, Asya Filippova, Rene Gabri, Iacopo Gallico, Sophie Hope, Nataša Ilić, Guven Incirlioglu, Katrin Klingan, Vasıf Kortun, Erden Kosova, Olga Lopoukhova, Margarethe Makovec, Marc Neelen, Philipp Oswalt, Kyong Park, Marta Paz, Constantin Petcou, Tadej Pogačar, Poka-Yio, Marjetica Potrc, Gerald Raunig, Oliver Ressler, Josep Saldaña, Marko Sančanin, Güneş Savaş, Florian Schneider, Despoina Sevasti, Pablo de Soto, Srdjan J. Weiss, Eyal Weizman, Seçil Yersel and Claudia Zanfi.
The enclosed DVD features conversations with the contributors to this book that follow the thematic strands along which the collaborative format of Networked Cultures itself has developed: Network Creativity – Contested Spaces – Trading Places – Parallel Worlds.

Dieses kulturelle Potenzial von Cruising führt den Diskurs um die Hegemonie von Sichtbarkeit in der Wissensgeschichte der Moderne an neue Schauplätze und beschreibt die Möglichkeiten für ein zunehmenden Begehren nach dem Unsichtbaren als dem Unbekannten, nach Formen seines Erlebens außerhalb der bezeichneten, materiell repräsentierten Bahnen.

The relationship of human beings to the earth is increasingly experienced as being in a state of crisis. In many places, the neoliberal economy’s incessant hunger for resource exploitation has led to trails of destruction and violent confrontation. More and more, the growing magnitude of these operations is giving rise to resistant formations that are not only oriented toward the prevention of specific extraction projects, but are calling for a fundamental overhaul of our perception of the earth as a passive deposit of supplies. The collaborative art project World of Matter responds to this call for a more ecological world-view through a collection of visual material on resource matters, arguing that any discursive shift necessitates and depends upon a different perspective on human–earth relations—a new mode of thinking is bound up in engaging a new imaginary of the world.

The project brings artists, architects and photojournalists with substantial research experience on globalization together with theorists working in the areas of geography, art history and cultural theory. It aims to generate new audiovisual media, texts, and cartographies, as well as to debate this material in a series of symposia, exhibitions and publications, all of which will culminate in a web-based platform to be launched in spring 2013.
The compilation of short texts and visuals for this special issue expands the notion of natural resources – or ‘commodities’ as traders call them – from hitherto geophysical and economic-industrial contexts toward the aesthetic-philosophical arena. The ambition of this collaborative effort is not to mimic a false mastery of the structure of contemporary resource ecologies but to instigate a rethinking of the interrelatedness of concerns, subjects and matters.
