Hi Mathieu, all! 5 days ago Mathieu ONeil wrote:
In this regard, the fact that the journal is called Critical Studies in Peer Production (CSPP) is starting to bother me a little, because it puts, in my view, too much emphasis on the _process_ (peer production, which is to certain extent dependent on, and enmeshed in capitalism) rather than on the sought-after _result_ of the process, the production of commons. So I am wondering if a more appropriate title for the journal might not be Critical Studies in Commons Production (CSCP)?
I share the points made by others in favor of "peer production". In addition I'd like to make the following point: The topic of commons seems to me like being the current hype among leftists. I don't follow the debate close enough but in that debate I saw mixing of ancient concepts with peer production. This doesn't help peer production or an understanding of it. In addition: Hypes like this cool down and then they are yesterday's news which are not relevant any more. I don't think the journal has deserved this fate and thus should not use a current hype which vanishes in a few years. Using "commons production" would blur the topic of the journal which IMHO would help nobody. I'd also like to emphasize that "(commons-based) peer production" meanwhile is a rather well-established notion for what this journal is (or was?) about. Grüße Stefan
