The practice of making a living economy rests in the foundational commitment of 'blessed unrest' in the mutual sector - global civil society, in its economic aspect - in the face of clear and present danger. We recognise the scope of the challenge in terms of four 'zones of reach' for activist practice: care work, subsistence work, formación work, stewarding work. Zone: ¿1care Landscape: §3aesthetic Family: Unrest
> This is a stub xxx
These zones of reach range through:
Work in emotional commons - Care work - intimately **in-here**. Care work, engaging in-here (and in all the myriad in-heres, out-there) Zone ¿1 - In-here (care work)
Organising a real economy - the everyday materiality of **here**. Subsistence work, within the doughnut. Zone ¿2 - Here (subsistence work)
Knowing & being capable in the collective - the transhistorical and multi-local 'we' of others, in many cultural formations, who share aspects of these same concerns. Formación work: sustaining and mobilising **we**. Zone ¿3 - We (formación work)
Engaging beyond knowable community - the problematic and profoundly intractable zone of relationships 'over the horizon', in many future times and present regions. Stewarding work. Zone ¿4 - Region (stewarding work)
