21/10/2024

The paper called "Time and space for social-ecological transformation: care-full commoning in and beyond the ecofeminist city" by Corinna Dengler and Sarah Ware from our institute and Hanna Völkle from HWR Berlin has been published in the journal Environmental Politics. 

In their abstract, the authors write: "[...] The configuration of spatial and temporal infrastructures in cities shapes how individuals interact with each other and the environment, thereby reproducing or alleviating intersectional inequalities. We connect literature on care, the commons, feminist time politics, and insurgent planning to discuss spatio-temporal infrastructures that promote space and time for care and participation. Building on feminist critiques of disembedded and disembodied cities, we draw upon examples from European cities to formulate an ‘educated dream’ about what an ecofeminist city could look like. In discussing different forms of scaling (up, out, deep) and bottom-linked transformation, we propose tangible steps towards the realisation of such a concrete utopia."
