Expressions of interest to contribute to: Freerange Vol. 11: Institutional Love

Expressions of interest to contribute to:
Freerange Vol. 11: Institutional Love
Editors: Barnaby Bennett, Byron Kinnaird, Federico Monsalve

For some, the current problems of the world demand revolution: a swift and pervasive change to different forms of governance and power. We, at least for this issue, are not convinced.

Revolutionary thinking is a fallacy because it assumes effort isn’t needed to study the practices that have created the situation in the first place, as if good intentions can simply pave over complex problems. ‘We’ are the consequences of engagements with the things around us; natures, technologies, cultures, and institutions. If we do damage these things we risk doing violence to ourselves in ways we can’t predict or understand. Instead, we ask contributors to consider what might happen if we chose to treat the institutions that make us with love and care?
