Part 1: Who's changing the world in the Digital Anthropocene?

Discussion by two authors, Adam Arvidsson and Michel Bauwens, on two book projects that were largely written in Thailand.

Books:

• The Digital Anthropocene by Adam Arvidsson & Vincenzo Luise

• Mutual Coordination Economics… by Michel Bauwens

What will the next civilizational order look like? Will the transition be ordered or chaotic? What are the most important challenges we face in the Anthropocene? What could the politics of the Anthropocene look like? What role will digital technologies play in this transition?

Michel Bauwens, founder of the Peer to Peer Foundation, along with sociologists Adam Arvidsson and Vincenzo Luise, address these questions in two books stemming from different but converging intellectual paths—macrohistory and sociological research. Both books share a common goal: to move beyond established models and 'political correctness' to discover new pragmatic and realistic ways to engage with these issues.

Part 2:  The State of Research into the Radical Imaginaries Behind Crypto Ideologies

Topic: Ideological imaginaries in the radical crypto universe

What are the ideological imaginaries that inform the world of radical crypto? This universe includes people and organizations that see crypto not just as a speculative financial tool but as a technology enabling radical future visions.

This session involves presenting and discussing the results of a comparative research project conducted by the University of Naples, Federico II, and Nanyang Technological University, Singapore. The research explores Western and Chinese visions of crypto's radical potential.
