Performing Values Practices and Grassroots Organizing: The Case of Solidarity Economy Initiatives in Greece
研究希腊危机中基层交换网络如何集体践行价值实践，揭示动员价值、重新连接社会关系和可持续生活三种方式，并提出分析价值在基层组织中作用的理论框架。
This article discusses solidarity economy initiatives as instances of grassroots organizing, and explores how ‘values practices’ are performed collectively during times of crisis. In focusing on how power, discourse and subjectivities are negotiated in the everyday practices of grassroots exchange networks (GENs) in crisis-stricken Greece, the study unveils and discusses three performances of values practices, namely mobilization of values, re-articulation of social relations, and sustainable living. Based on these findings, and informed by theoretical analyses of performativity, we propose a framework for studying the production and reproduction of values in the context of GENs, and the role of values in organizing alternatives.
