Upcoming and Past

Global South Studies Center (GSSC) Commoning Dialogues: Sharing, Commoning and Autonomy

An online webinar dialogue between Anna Tsing (University of California, Santa Cruz) and Thomas Widlok (University of Cologne). This commoning dialogue explores the dynamic interplay between commoning, sharing, and personal autonomy, drawing from ethnographic research on sharing economies and alternative exchange systems, while also engaging with recent developments in multispecies anthropology. We discuss the proposition that autonomy is not necessarily opposed to sharing, but that both deserve to be discussed in the context of relational practices of commoning.

Start: 28 Apr 2025 @ 4:00:pm
Finish: 28 Apr 2025 @ 6:00:pm

Location: Online webinar via Zoom

Movie & panel discussion `The Pickers´

This event consists of a film showing of "The Pickers" and panel discussion. '"The Pickers" is a journey to European fields where our fruit and vegetables are grown: in Southern Italy, Seydou from Mali is picking oranges. He has no contract and is paid per crate. He lives in a self-built hut in a settlement without water and electricity. Blueberries in Portugal, olives in Greece, strawberries in Spain – one million migrants are currently working in European fields. The pickers are the mobile workforce that fills our supermarkets’ baskets, most of them without contracts or minimum wages, some without papers or with high debts with agents.'
