In reflecting and celebrating the burgeoning interest in alternative
economic spaces, this session is focused on bringing together critical
analyses of alterity from across the social sciences and beyond. The
intention is to advance understanding of exactly what alternative economic
spaces are, how they are formed, what difficulties and problems they face,
how they can be sustained, and how academics can help in their
proliferation. The session will explore diverse themes underpinning the
proliferation of local economies, such as tensions and relations with the
mainstream economy, alterity and autonomy, social regulation versus
self-regulation, ownership and control, the social and economic
sustainability of alterity, alterity and otherness, authenticity and
morality, 'alternative' knowledges, policy, participation and praxis, etc.
Papers are therefore welcomed from all parts of the academy, and/or from
those actively involved in the creation of alternative spaces and futures,
in whatever form.
