Appropriation sociale du numérique, communs et politique publique, retours sur l’expérience de la Ville de Brest by Michel Briand, Bernard Brunet

“…Using the criteria laid out by Nobel Prize winner for economics Elinor Ostrom, four of these initiatives, which have been documented throughout their development, show how well a common resource can emerge from a community-initiated community service project: a shared resource, a community of users and producers, a flexible system of governance involving its various stakeholders. However, the dissemination of common culture and appropriation, along with the long-term hosting and organization of these shared resources, remain the real issues with regard to the sustainability of these digital initiatives.…”

Il valore sociale dei rifiuti. L’intreccio tra istituzioni e pratiche di recupero nello spazio urbano di Casablanca (Marocco) by Anna Karin Giannotta

“…By de-constructing the garbage collectors’ single-narration, I will propose a fluid description of their agency, in a constant tension with the institutions that dominate waste-governance processes.

“… This essay explores the philosophical affinity between Aristotle’s concept of virtue as character habituation and the Yorùbá ethical and ontological understanding of ọmọlúwàbí as the foundation for re-examining the philosophical foundation of democratic governance in Nigeria. Based on the Aristotelian insistence that the good life is the end of politics, the essay argues for a rethinking of the concept of public morality as character-based political dynamics that enables politicians to think more about the social contract between the government and the governed, rather than an amoral understanding of politics that eschew morality and undermines the well-being of the citizens. …”
