Co-Revolutionary Theory

= concept by David Harvey

Description

Tero Toivanen:

"David Harvey's "co-revolutionary theory" distinguishes "seven moments" which could be usefull to analyse the emerging p2p-production and it's relation to contemporary capitalism. There is more about this in "The Enigma of Capital".

"They are derived from an understanding of Marx’s account of how capitalism arose out of feudalism. Social change arises through the dialectical unfolding of relations between seven moments within the body politic of capitalism viewed as an ensemble or assemblage of activities and practices:

a) technological and organizational forms of production, exchange and consumption

b) relations to nature

c) social relations between people

d) mental conceptions of the world, embracing knowledges and cultural understandings and beliefs

e) labor processes and production of specific goods, geographies, services or affects

f ) institutional, legal and governmental arrangements

g) the conduct of daily life that underpins social reproduction." (Facebook, October 2012)
