A couple of years ago a small group of people in Copenhagen gathered to discuss money, how we could have more of it, share more of it and collectively improve our lives. One of the experiments that started a year ago is a Rotating Savings and Credits Association – a ROSCA. Some members of the group will give a presentation on the project in Lymy on August 12th, 2024.
Globally a ROSCA is a commonplace practice for saving and loaning money in communities, but in Northern Europe it is more rare and unknown. It is a rather simple financial practice that enables loans and savings without or in spite of banks and it can make possible life choices that hegemonic institutions rob or exclude us from.
The comrades from Copenhagen will give a presentation on what a ROSCA is and share some experiences and lessons learnt from their first year of the experiment.
Doors open at 17.30 Presentation is 18.00-19.30 with time for questions and discussion
Borders are constantly in the making and provides a lens through which to examine the transformations of capitalism. In particular, the struggles over borders and migration, as well as the reproduction of migratory labour, form a central node in contemporary labour struggles always entangled with the lived experiences of racialisation, gender and class.
Approaches to capitalism beyond a strict economic demarcation, require a serious engagement with the โfleshy, messy, and indeterminate stuff of everyday lifeโ as Cindy Katz once described social reproduction. Social reproduction becomes pronounced in the increasingly extractive forms of capitalism and opens up as an important arena of social struggle, not least amidst ongoing border closures and military operations. The conversation draws on the discussantsโ social research and investment in ongoing struggles to reflect on the current conjuncture of capital and power in the intersection of borders, social reproduction and extractivism.
The discussion starts at 18.30
Speakers:
Sandro Mezzadraโs recent work has centered on the relations between globalization, migration and capitalism, on contemporary capitalism as well as on postcolonial criticism. He participates in the โpost-workeristโ debates being one of the founders of the website www.euronomade.info, and work as a Professor of Political Philosophy at the University of Bologna.
Daria Krivonos is a researcher at the University of Helsinki, whose work deals with questions of racial capitalism, migration, and social reproduction focusing especially on postsocialism. She is involved in social projects and organising around migration and free movement.
Olivia Maury is involved in social projects on the intertwined topics of the border regime, migration and the gig economy, feminist thought and life in common. She works as a sociologist at the University of Helsinki and sits on the board of the Finnish Researchersโ Association (Tutkijaliitto).
The event is preceded by a Public lecture with Prof. Sandro Mezzadra 18.10.2024: A Conjuncture of War. Capital and Power in a Multipolar World at the University of Helsinki at 14-16.
