Do alternative economic endeavours live up to the task of destabilising the economy as it is usually known and performed, or do they submit politics to the laws of the economy, as critics would have it? This piece of research explores the political potential of alter-economic projects. It probes their capacity to transform established day-to-day relationships, examines their implementation of novel egalitarian and horizontal modes of operation, and assesses their contribution to broad social transformation towards equitable, autonomous, plural, solidary, ecologically sustainable, and caring worlds.

In Greece, the biopolitical response to the pandemic has been taking place in a context of ongoing austerity, whereby essential public services have been degraded and housing precarity, previously reserved for those at the margins, is invading the lives of the homeowning majority. Adhering to a mode of governance through precarization, government policy has renounced the task of reinforcing social structures of support and is limited to redistributing vulnerability by shifting risk from the present to the future and creating further subdivisions among the precarious through new discourses of worthiness and blame. While governmental #StayAtHome campaigns reassert the home as the centerpiece of the biopolitical response to the health crisis, new mechanisms for the commercialization and financialization of housing are being introduced by recently adopted insolvency legislation. The discourse of individual responsibility in fending off contagion thus clashes against the conditions of unaffordability, exclusion and precarity in the housing sector. In this context of generalized insecurity, housing mobilizations have been emerging mainly around precarized homeownership, rent and work precarity, and migrant solidarity. Despite diverging interpretations of the housing challenges and a diversity of demands, housing movements are enacting new forms of political agency that take insecurity as the starting point for inclusive struggles around solidarity and mutual care.

En primer lugar, para situar la precariedad habitacional en el contexto de la precarización generalizada, introducimos los conceptos de precariedad y precarización como gubernamentalidad, y proponemos una conceptualización de la precariedad habitacional que toma en cuenta las fuerzas estructurales que operan para producir múltiples inseguridades y desigualdades. Luego, ofrecemos una breve descripción del régimen de propiedad griego, así como de la reestructuración de la vivienda que se está llevando a cabo actualmente, a raíz de la cual la precarización, que tradicionalmente afectaba a las poblaciones marginadas, está alcanzando ahora a la mayoría social. A continuación, analizamos la política de la precariedad habitacional en la época de la pandemia, centrándonos tanto en la respuesta biopolítica gubernamental como en el papel de la vivienda y las relaciones de propiedad en la estructuración de las experiencias de la pandemia. Por último, evaluamos las respuestas y resistencias a los procesos anteriores, esbozando las principales líneas de movilización por la vivienda en Grecia.

Yuxtaponiendo el proletariado auto-negante de Holloway, la multitud diversa de Hardt y Negri, y el pueblo
hegemónico de Laclau, propongo un marco conceptual tentativo para comprender el desarrollo de las luchas sociales desde el punto de vista del sujeto colectivo, con el objetivo de vincular dicho desarrollo a los debates al interior de los movimientos sociales.

City dwellers may define their desire for full participation in the city’s socio-political life as a right to the city to be reclaimed against authorities, or they may dive right in and self-manage the urban space as a commons – or they may do both. The right to the city and the urban commons are not mutually exclusive strategies of contestation but rather two different vocabularies, which however lead to contrasting conceptions of the political. When a technical-juridical conception of rights becomes the centrepiece and horizon of progressive politics, the discourse of rights tends to ratify existing systems of domination by subordinating lived, contentious politics to impersonal juridical constructs. The commons is not an alternative to “rights talk”, but rather a way in which rights may be fleshed out, and tethered to contentious politics waged by concrete communities. These are some of the issues this text seeks to raise, exemplified in the context of Greek urban struggles over the past decade.

The vision of a future society directed by the “associated producers” themselves cuts across all historical currents of the left; to this day, democratic self-management at the workplace is for many an effective way to bridge the chasm between this vision of the future and the day-to-day struggle within capitalism. The embeddedness of worker-run companies in wider social movements and their attentiveness to the needs and demands of communities make them important components in a strategy of maximising social resilience and self-determination.

This article aims to outline the central political imaginaries of overcoming austerity that arose in this period –Plan A of reform and redistribution, Plan B of national economic reconstruction outside the Eurozone and Plan C of a bottom-up reorganisation of politics and economy around the commons– and the interplay between the three in the context of anti-austerity politics. It especially focuses on the abandonment of Plan A by the political forces that expressed it and the challenges faced by adherents of the third imaginary (“Plan C”) in subverting the capitalist market and in addressing the question of power and the state.

Following the dismantling of the apparatuses of redistribution by the triumphant neoliberalism in the late 20th century, we are now witnessing an intensification of new and old processes of enclosure. In response, a new mode of politics has come to the fore, dismissing both state and private capitalism, and placing a reinvented form of community at the centre of political life. In this chapter, we set out from an outline of the particular histories of the commons in Greece and we go on to trace out their re-invention in the present, in response to the onslaught of neoliberal capitalism. We dwell on producers’ cooperatives and the self-management of production in agriculture and industry as a key instrument of commoning. Tracking the obstacles, the resistances and the dangers that these common alternatives have encountered, we seek to shed light on the different paths they chart and the new prospects they open up for workers’ control over production and distribution within an enlarged social economy of solidarity for our times.

They ponder the historical and current importance of Zapatismo and its influence on the development of political contestation in Europe and in Greece. The authors attempt to highlight the aspects of Zapatismo that have contributed to movement theory and praxis and have provided inspiration for generations of activists and collectives. They also enumerate other political projects that resonate and enmesh with Zapatismo to produce novel emancipatory practices. The authors attempt at examining the obstacles and pitfalls in ‘translating’ the Zapatista experience to European urban contexts. Finally, Karyotis, Maravelidi, and Tarinski explore some of the paths that may lead us forward in the pursuit of social emancipation.

Por un lado, todas las sociedades sufren una crisis sanitaria a raíz de la pandemia de covid-19. Por otro, los efectos de la crisis climática se sienten, y las inundaciones, sequías e incendios forestales están afectando a los ecosistemas y a los asentamientos humanos a una escala y frecuencia sin precedentes. Estos acontecimientos se producen en un momento en el que el capitalismo financiarizado se mueve de una crisis sistémica a la próxima, intensificando la explotación de los seres humanos y de la naturaleza, y creando un círculo vicioso acelerado de crisis y degradación. Es descorazonador que, en medio de semejante impasse civilizatorio, nuestra capacidad de imaginar un futuro poscapitalista sea seriamente limitada. En ese sentido, la Travesía por la Vida llega en un momento oportuno para avanzar en la búsqueda de la emancipación social. En este texto reflexionamos desde los movimientos de base europeos, sobre la llegada de la delegación zapatista y, en particular, desde los movimientos griegos que se están movilizando para acogerlos. Destacamos los aspectos del zapatismo que han contribuido a su teoría y praxis así como los obstáculos y escollos a la hora de “traducirlo” en contextos urbanos europeos.

After all, both were responses to a barbaric attack on the Greek popular classes, and both aimed to put an end to neoliberal structural adjustment. A closer examination, however, demonstrates the fundamental differences between the two projects, and can reveal that their confluence was a mere marriage of convenience that ended in a bitter divorce.

In all these events, political time was condensed, bringing forth different, overlapping but divergent, contentious imaginaries. First, in December 2008, a complete absence of demands and the dissolution of all insurgent identities into a collective and peculiar “we” signified a break not only with the political establishment, but also with the accepted forms of political struggle and dissidence. I examine this event in reference to John Holloway’s non-identitarian political philosophy. Second, like in many other countries at that time, the Greek squares in 2011 were constituted as a network of porous, open-ended and self-organised processes, as an ongoing negotiation to give content and meaning to the occupied urban space. I approach this event as an example of the politics of inclusion and multiplicity propounded by Michael Hardt and Antonio Negri. Lastly, the collapse of the traditional two-party system under the weight of austerity politics gave rise to a new hegemonic party, Syriza, which created an antagonistic frontier between the people and the elites, and attempted to represent the diverse aspirations and demands of the former, condensed in the empty signifier of hope. Here I mobilise Ernesto Laclau’s discourse theory, approaching the crisis as a large-scale dislocation which allowed a new hegemonic power to emerge out of a chain of equivalences, all those who suffer under austerity. In all three cases, the focus is on the processes of subjectivation. By juxtaposing Holloway’s self-negating proletariat, Hardt and Negri’s diverse multitude and Laclau’s hegemonic people, I propose a tentative framework for understanding the development of social struggles in Greece from the viewpoint of the collective subject, with the aim of linking this discussion back to the debates within the social movements.
International Contemporary Urban Issues Conference: Rethinking Informality, 2020

A main characteristic of that pattern is informality. This presentation consists of two parts. In the first part, I examine the origins of informality and its functions in recent Greek history: sustaining a high rate of growth with minimal costs for the state and employers, and maintaining social peace in the context of the familistic welfare system. Parting from an understanding of informality not as spontaneity or absence of state control, but as an alternative normativity that stems from deliberate state action or inaction, I approach informality not as an anomaly peculiar to the Greek political formation, but as an extra-institutional mechanism of redistribution, which has served to incorporate the population in the mainstream of social life. In this light, I examine the four main pillars of informal welfare in Greece: clientelism, the informal sector, familialism and homeownership. In the second part of the paper, I offer an interpretation of the institutional reforms that followed the sovereign debt crisis and the concomitant bailout programs starting in 2010 as a concerted attempt to dismantle this informal system of redistribution and to extend the reach of the state in previously informalized areas of social and economic life, without, however, reinforcing a formal system of guarantees, such as the welfare state.
