Abstract [en]

In this presentation we propose that solidarity networks in urban settings as a communicAction process can be understood politically as forging symmetric relations between communicating subjects through the appropriation of technologies and emergence of social technologies. Urbanization processes throughout the 20th century led to fragmentation of communities – dissociation between living and work, zoning of cities (live, work, study, consumption), as well as diminishing public spaces and urban areas where the main focus is not consumption. Coupled with post-industrial urbanization, neoliberalism has gained dominance as a political system with both local and global effects. Lives mediated by consumption and the individual biography as a market endeavor intensify in hyper mediatized urban centers. Furthermore, increasing precarization that reduces the security of contemporary life leading, for many, to precarious existences lacking the stability to plan their lives. These processes happen in a context of space schizophrenia (Santos, 2021) in which places are both singular and global, while citizenship is practically exercised to a great extent at the local level because global actors are anti-citizen. Fragmentation and breaking of connections are particularly visible in times of crises, however, at these times we can also see the need for these connections and how people act to (re) build these connections. This reconstruction can be understood as a communicative process structured by the constructions of communities as shared existence (Paiva, 2005). With the dismantling of the welfare state and the safety net it provides, individuals are left alone to self organize and solidarity the emerges as a strategy of action with practical and political aims to disrupt isolationism. Local solidarity enacted through communication becomes thus an expression of citizenship. Sociotechnical dispositives for citizen centered urban management – Refugees Welcome Stockholm, Transport a Sister – Help Ukraine, community gardens, community kitchens, compliance activism. In authoritarian regime, certain kinds of urban solidarity regime might be the only option that leaves a fissure for political organization.
