The materiality of the real economy is enormously complex and diverse, ranging from wild nature, through so-called domesticated nature (the 'second nature' of 'the economy', to the weird sphere of digital means. We weave all this in relationship together, through practices of subsistence work, within the doughnut. Zone: ¿2subsistence Landscape: §3aesthetic Family: Prosthesis
Organising the real economy - Subsistence work
THE PRIMARY ECONOMY
Here we outline a basic threefold division of attention within living economy: three distinct fields of material provisionng of means of subsistence and wellbeing. These three categories map an extended ontology of ‘material’.
Breathing in wild nature - the common life systems of a green-blue planet
Domestic means - Provisioning and curating stuff that is 'tamed', to meet the needs of commoners: generating 'second nature'.
Digital means - Living well among golems. Being somewhere wise and skilful, with attempts to implement ' a view from nowhere'
MACHINERIES OF INTERMEDIATION
Here we outline families of patterns in the 'machineries' that intermediate provision in the real economy.
Machineries of access - Bourgeois law constructs individuals, destroys community. Law and lawgiving for the commons, by commoners: stewarding in commons of commons.
Machineries of fairtrade - Fairtrade as trade, per se.
Machineries of rescue - The most basic provision for care, in the face of real and present danger.
PATHOLOGIES OF STUFF
Here we sketch three boundary-crossing fields of practice with relationships that are problematic enough - 'pathologies of stuff' - to warrant particular attention in the making of living economy.
Waste - Countering over-consumption, sheer carelessness
Nano - Becoming very circumspect with micro-manipulations that produce materials and processes with magically un-natural reach and durability.
Prosthesis & symbiosis - Coming into relationship with healthy, unhealthy & inescapable dependencies on stuff
