Following two years of pondering over it, writing, rewriting, and finally putting it all together, our book Upscaling, Training, Commoning is out! It has been an adventure to bring this exploration \u2013 into what it means to engage with the glimpses of a world of emerging commons that has become conceivable in the cracks of the Global Financial Crisis (2008) \u2013 into a format that is reflexive as well as personal.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Upscaling, Training, Commoning<\/em> is a six-part volume that outlines the context of STEALTH\u2019s exploration embarked on in 2011 when we have set out to take our practice beyond the flurry of temporary involvements, of short-lived interventions, of non-binding interferences that sustain the current neo-liberal (over)production of urbanity and an ‘already plundered’ future. Through its sequence, the book moves from critique to commitment by devising methods for imagining and enacting other worlds.<\/p>\n

The book is set between a travelogue, a guide of sorts, a collection of visual fragments of the making of, combining nonfiction with fiction. Following the introduction, the four next parts ‘report’ from engagements of STEALTH that took place in Bordeaux, Vienna, Rotterdam, Gothenburg and Belgrade, and jump temporally back and forth in the period between 2008 to 2018. Each part is set in a certain perspective: from invoking possible futures, to setting up community economies, asserting legitimacy and opening emancipatory prospects \u2013 in particular concerning the unsustainability of housing condition.<\/p>\n
