Crisis, austerity and revolt on the European periphery: movement perspectives from the 15M to the institutional turn and beyond in Spain (02/19)

10年过去了，2008年浮出水面的资本结构性危机继续通过新自由主义紧缩得到管理。西班牙一直是受影响最严重的欧洲国家之一。在那里，房地产和信贷泡沫的破灭释放了中国转型后经济模式中的结构性矛盾。根据紧缩原则，经济“复苏”是以大量失业、进一步放松劳动力管制和福利撤退、以及严重的住房止赎危机为代价的。然而，西班牙也一直是敌对的、创造性的和持久的反紧缩运动的舞台。自2014年以来，这场声势浩大的运动始于2011年的大规模广场占领运动，经历了一场在市政层面取得特别成功的“体制转折”，左翼、草根阶层的“融合”在包括马德里和巴塞罗那在内的许多西班牙城市赢得了市议会的支持。这项研究的前提是，危机不仅催生了新的积累战略和政府理性，从而紧缩和重启新自由主义资本主义，而且还引发了新的阶级形成和主观性，它们否定了后者，打造了替代方案。利用参与性行动方法，这项研究旨在产生关于这一双重运动的关键的、与运动有关的知识，重点放在对抗和抵抗的时刻；以将为运动战略和实践提供参考的方式。次要结果将是为关键的社会政策研究提供信息(例如，参与式决策)。以巴塞罗那为个案研究，通过对市政和城市规模的调查来实现这些目标。经验性目标1)描述和分析：a.巴塞罗那危机和紧缩的政治经济和治理，以及它与全球规模的关系。在这一背景下出现的阶级构成，包括技术、政治和主观层面。A和B之间的关系2)提供西班牙紧缩下的劳工组织的案例研究，从而补充现有文献对住房和城市治理的关注理论目标1)应用和发展从非殖民主义、女权主义和开放的马克思主义中汲取的关于劳动和资本的创新观点，这些观点放大了传统政治经济学和社会运动研究的本体论、认识论和方法论视线2)将拉丁美洲批评理论的比较观点，特别是来自反新自由主义社会运动周期(包括进步政府和随后的反弹)的比较观点引入欧洲经验3)在这样做的过程中，为性别、性别和社会运动研究的批判性理论作出贡献种族主义和分类的轮廓：a.全球新自由主义资本主义和危机的标量政治经济一方面是国家和选举政治之间的关系，另一方面是基层集体行动之间的关系；特别是在制度进步的时刻。阶级政治和“政治复兴”，特别是在欧洲危机的背景下。方法目标为了测试和概念化参与行动研究的增值价值，以产生关键的、与运动相关的理论。与研究委员会的关系本研究解决全球政治经济学(我的ESRC途径)和社会理论中一些最紧迫的问题，使用创新的理论途径和方法，促进ESRC关于合作和影响的优先事项。我将需要在加泰罗尼亚语进行培训来承担这个项目。

10 years on, the structural crisis of capital that surfaced in 2008 continues to be managed through the neoliberal austerity. Spain has been one of the worst affected European countries. There, the implosion of the property and credit bubbles unleashed structural contradictions in the country's post-transitional economic model. As per austerity doctrine, economic "recovery" was secured at the expense of massive unemployment, further labour deregulation and welfare retreat, and an acute housing foreclosure crisis. Yet Spain has also been the stage of antagonistic, creative and enduring anti-austerity movements. Since 2014, the popular upswell, which began with mass square occupations in 2011, has undergone an "institutional turn" that has had particular success at the municipal scale, with left-wing, grassroots "convergences" winning city councils in many Spanish cities, including Madrid and Barcelona.The premise of this research is that crisis gives rise not only to new accumulation strategies and governmental rationalities that retrench and reboot neoliberal capitalism, but also to new class formations and subjectivities that negate the latter and forge alternatives. Using participatory action methodologies, this research aims to generate critical, movement-relevant knowledge about this double movement, with emphasis on the moment of antagonism and resistance; in ways that will inform movement strategy and practices. A secondary outcome will be to inform critical social policy studies (eg. participatory policy-making). Using Barcelona as its case study, it pursues these aims through enquiry at the municipal, urban scale.Empirical objectives1) To describe and analyse:a. The political economy and governance of crisis and austerity in Barcelona, and its relationship to the global scaleb. The class composition that emerges in this context, comprising technical, political and subjective dimensionsc. The relationship between a. and b.2) To provide a case study of labour organising under austerity in Spain, thus complementing the existing literature's focus on housing and urban governanceTheoretical objectives1) To apply and develop innovative perspectives on labour and capital drawn from decolonial, feminist and open marxisms, which amplify the ontological, epistemological and methodological gaze of traditional political economy and social movement studies.2) To bring comparative perspectives from Latin American critical theory, particularly that arising from the anti-neoliberal social movement cycle (including the moment of progressive government and subsequent backlash) to bear on the European experience3) In so doing, to contribute to critical theorisation of the gendered, racialised and classed contours of:a. The scalar political economies of global neoliberal capitalism and crisisb. The relationship between the state and electoral politics on one hand, and grassroots, collective action on the other hand; especially in moments of institutional progressivismc. Class politics and "political renewal," particularly in the context of crisis in EuropeMethodological objectivesTo test and conceptualise the value-added of Participatory Action Research for generating critical, movement-relevant theory.Relevance to research councilThis research addresses some of the most pressing questions in global political economy (my ESRC pathway) and social theory, using innovative theoretical approaches, and methodologies that further the ESRC's priorities regarding collaboration and impact.I will need to undertake training in Catalan to undertake this project.
