David Bollier: iSummit '08 Keynote Address

Social Movements on the Commons: The Commons is one of many social movements active in the world today. Many of them share characteristics with the Commons, but there are significant differences. What can the Commons learn from other social movements and vice versa? Is there a more effective way of doing things and has someone been doing it for ages without the Commons noticing?

Full description

David Bollier’s keynote address, “Social Movements on the Commons” explores the momentum that the Free Culture movement has achieved in the realms of digital citizenship, and how it has developed into an economic and political force in its own right. He challenges the movement to start looking outside of the information and culture space to start collaborating with other commons that are being hampered by market enclosures, in fields such as the human genome, biodiversity, civic spaces and media and many more.
