'Empire' cast member alleges he was attacked

A cast member on the hit television show “Empire” alleged he was physically attacked by men in Chicago who shouted racial and homophobic slurs, police said Tuesday.

Police did not release the actor’s name but a statement from Fox, which airs “Empire,” identified him as Jussie Smollett, 36. Authorities said they are investigating the alleged attack as a hate crime. Smollett is black and openly gay.

According to a police statement, the actor was walking near the Chicago River downtown around 2 a.m. Tuesday when he was approached by two men who shouted at him, struck him in the face and poured an “unknown substance” on him before one of them wrapped a rope around his neck.

Police spokesman Anthony Guglielmi said the two men, who were wearing masks, fled the scene. Authorities have not identified any suspects, and Guglielmi said detectives are gathering security footage from nearby buildings and trying to find witnesses.

Smollett was able to take himself to Northwestern Memorial Hospital, police said. He was last reported in good condition.

The hourlong drama “Empire” follows an African-American family as they navigate the ups and downs of the record industry. Jamal Lyon, Smollett’s character, is the gay, middle son of Empire Entertainment founder Lucious and Cookie Lyon, played by Terrence Howard and Taraji P. Henson, respectively.

Twentieth Century Fox Television and Fox Entertainment released a statement Tuesday in support of Smollett. “The entire studio, network and production stands united in the face of any despicable act of violence,” the statement read.

“Empire” co-creator Lee Daniels also voiced his support for Smollett in an Instagram video.

“You didn’t deserve, nor anybody deserves, to have a noose put around your neck,” Daniels said. “You are better than that, we are better than that, America is better than that.”

California Sen. Kamala Harris, a 2020 Democratic presidential hopeful, knows Smollett personally and called the attack “outrageous” and “awful.”

“He is one of the kindest, most gentle human beings I’ve ever met,” Harris said Tuesday, adding that she’s still learning more details about the incident.

Smollett has been active in LBGTQ issues and he released his debut album, “Sum of My Music,” last year.

“Empire” is shot in Chicago and a Fox spokeswoman said the program is currently in production.

Monday round-up

This evening President Donald Trump is expected to announce his nominee to succeed Justice Anthony Kennedy on the Supreme Court. Robert Costa and Robert Barnes of The Washington Post report that Trump said yesterday he was “close” to a final decision; Maggie Haberman, Adam Liptak and Michael Schmidt of The New York Times report that “he might need to extend the process well into Monday.”

When he does make the announcement, Trump – who “has warned his associates against leaking his next Supreme Court pick in a bid to ratchet up the intrigue” – “wants a repeat of his reality show reveal” from last year, which he sees “as one of the high-water marks of his presidency,” reports Andrew Restuccia for Politico. At Associated Press, Jessica Gresko reveals the secret machinations used by past presidents to keep their nominees secret.

Maggie Haberman and Jonathan Martin of The New York Times report that Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell of Kentucky told Trump that Judges Raymond Kethledge and Thomas Hardiman “presented the fewest obvious obstacles to being confirmed.” John Bowden compiles this and other statements, regarding whom “top conservatives and allies of the president want to see Trump pick for his next nominee,” for The Hill. For Politico, Christopher Cadelago, Eliana Johnson and Josh Gerstein report that Kethledge “is getting a behind-the-scenes push portraying him as the consensus choice of conservatives”; commentator Hugh Hewitt called him “Gorsuch 2.0,” reports Niv Elis for The Hill. In The Washington Post, Emma Brown reports that Hardiman “holds a more expansive view of the Second Amendment than the Supreme Court has articulated to date,” according to “scholars and advocates on both sides of the gun debate.” For this blog, Amy Howe profiles Kethledge and Hardiman.

As for other possible nominees, Jordain Carney of The Hill reports that Judge Amy Coney Barrett “has emerged as the favorite candidate for social conservatives”; in a second story at The Hill, Carney reports that Judge Brett Kavanaugh “is facing pushback from social conservatives who say he’s too moderate.” In an op-ed for the National Review, Justin Walker contends that Kavanaugh “has been a steadfast and fearless supporter of religious liberty for decades.” At The Narrowest Grounds, Asher Steinberg looks at Kavanaugh’s dissent in Garza v. Hargan, the case of a 17-year-old undocumented teenager who wanted – and ultimately had – an abortion. Mark Landler and Matt Apuzzo of The New York Times report that Kavanaugh “once argued that President Bill Clinton could be impeached for lying to his staff and misleading the public, a broad definition of obstruction of justice that would be damaging if applied to President Trump in the Russia investigation.”

Mark Landler and Maggie Haberman of The New York Times report that “all four of President Trump’s candidates for the Supreme Court are white, middle-aged federal appeals court judges with reliably conservative legal records.” Jeremy Kidd, in a new article posted at SSRN, “draws on recent scholarship on the ideology of law clerks hired by particular judges to create a new measure of ideology in order to be able to compare potential nominees with Supreme Court justices.” In a short video for The New York Times, Maea Lenei Buhre and David Botti address the possible nominees’ views on abortion; beyond abortion, Amy Goldstein of The Washington Post reports that “conservatives inside and outside the White House have embraced the broader issue of religious freedom as a central priority.” New Civil Liberties Alliance surveys six possible candidates, giving a slight edge to Kethledge over Kavanaugh.

NPR reports that Judge Amul Thapar “has dropped off President Trump’s list of candidates,” while Jordain Carney of The Hill reports that Thapar is “the candidate to watch” because of a “powerful ally in his corner” – McConnell. Johnny Sutton and Marty Jackley, in an op-ed for The Daily Caller, contend that Thapar, a former prosecutor, “stands out for those of us who have served in law enforcement.” At the Lexington Herald Leader, Bill Estep profiles Thapar.

Whomever Trump selects, “aides inside the West Wing feel excited about the Supreme Court pick, viewing it as a chance for Trump to score a victory,” reports Jordan Fabian of The Hill. Also for The Hill, Brett Samuels reports that Leonard Leo, an “adviser to President Trump on judicial issues,” said yesterday that “he believes Trump’s Supreme Court pick will be confirmed before November’s midterm elections.” In The Washington Post, Joel Achenbach looks into the roles Leo and Donald McGahn have played in Trump’s judicial-selection processes. Brett Samuels reports for The Hill that yesterday Senator Richard Blumenthal, Democrat of Connecticut, called it “extraordinary” that the president “outsourced his decision to the Federalist Society and the Heritage Foundation.”

Carl Huse of The New York Times reports that “Democratic senators running for re-election in Trump Country face an agonizing choice over President Trump’s coming Supreme Court nominee: Vote to confirm the pick and risk demoralizing Democratic voters ahead of the midterm elections, or stick with the party and possibly sacrifice their own seats — and any chance at a Democratic majority in 2019.” “Keeping them in the Democratic fold — in the face of withering pressure from a liberal base that expects nothing less — amounts to the biggest challenge of” New York Senator Chuck Schumer’s 18-month tenure as Democratic leader, reports Elana Schor for Politico. “Red-state Democrats are going to have a very hard decision, and I hope that every Republican will rally behind these picks because they’re all outstanding,” Senator Lindsey Graham, Republican of South Carolina, said yesterday, reports Max Greenwood for The Hill.

Additional coverage of the political situation comes from Burgess Everett of Politico, who reports that “the Supreme Court confirmation battle over Trump’s high court nominee will reverberate in Missouri more than any other Senate battleground this year.” Brett Samuels of The Hill reports that yesterday Senator Dick Durbin, Democrat of Illinois, “ripped” McConnell “for his handling of Supreme Court nominees, saying the Republican has used the court ‘to play to his political advantage.’”

Katelyn Burns of Rewire.News reports that liberal organizations have “unveiled the ‘personal liberty standard,’” “pushing for senators to reject any Court nominee who would overturn Roe v. Wade and criminalize abortion care in the United States.” Senator Susan Collins, Republican of Maine, has said she would reject candidates who don’t respect precedent, but the claim faces skepticism from at least two commentators. Richard Chen contends in the Portland Press Herald that “if the eventual nominee ends up disappointing her and her constituents, she should not be allowed to invoke precedent as an excuse when it was clear from the outset that she had the power and every reason to take a stronger stand.” Brianne Gorod argues in the Bangor Daily News that “the sheer number of times last term that [Justice Neil Gorsuch] voted to overrule precedents or aggressively called them into question belies his promises that he always starts with a ‘heavy, heavy presumption in favor of precedent.’”

Alexander Bolton of The Hill reports that “Democrats say the prospect that the Senate will confirm a Trump nominee who could overturn the Roe v. Wade decision legalizing abortion will bring an army of Democrats to the polls — to the detriment of Republicans, particularly in the House.” In an op-ed for The Washington Post, Gary Abernathy addresses fellow opponents of abortion: “Even if Roe v. Wade is soon overturned, pro-lifers shouldn’t celebrate too much. Abortion will still be in demand, because hearts haven’t yet been changed.” Max Boot has a different message for conservatives in an op-ed for The Washington Post: “Tolerating [Trump’s] reign of error would not be worth it even if he filled every seat on the Supreme Court with Antonin Scalia clones.”

In an op-ed at The Hill, Ginny Ehrlich argues that “it is essential that we consider the impact that the next Supreme Court Justice could have on women’s access to birth control.” In an op-ed at The Washington Post, Nancy Northup contends that “[y]ou can have either the president’s promise about overturning Roe or the Constitution’s promise of a realm of personal liberty. You can’t have both.” A contrasting op-ed at The Hill by James Gagliano suggests that “Trump’s imprimatur on the Supreme Court will have a lasting impact on our nation that has nothing to do with Roe, and everything to do with racially divisive issues like reparations.” At The Nation, David Cole writes that “[i]f President Trump names another rigidly right-wing justice, the Court risks becoming an outlier, far more conservative than the country at large.” In a podcast with the American Civil Liberties Union, Cole “considers the court’s very uncertain future.”

Briefly:

At the Pacific Legal Foundation blog, Jonathan Wood argues that the foundation’s pending petition in California Sea Urchin Commission v. Combs presents “an excellent opportunity for the Court to restore the Constitution’s separation of powers and restrain the administrative state.”

At his eponymous blog, Kenneth Jost assesses the court’s decisions in Janus v. American Federation of State, County, and Municipal Employees and National Institute of Family and Life Advocates v. Becerra; he contends that the “5-4 splits in the two decisions speak less to constitutional law than to raw politics.”

Daniel Wallach reports for Forbes that “some legal commentators now believe that the Court’s decision [in Murphy v. National Collegiate Athletic Association] … could dramatically expand legalized sports betting through the use of the Internet.”

Alabama keeps shaking – POLITICO

With Zach Montellaro and Daniel Strauss

The following newsletter is an abridged version of Campaign Pro’s Morning Score. For an earlier morning read on exponentially more races — and for a more comprehensive aggregation of the day’s most important campaign news — sign up for Campaign Pro today. (http://www.politicopro.com/proinfo)

Story Continued Below

ALABAMA SHAKES — “Inside McConnell’s slow-motion Alabama train wreck,” by Campaign Pro’s Kevin Robillard: “In mid-March, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell called freshly appointed Sen. Luther Strange with a pressing political question: Should McConnell or President Donald Trump urge Alabama’s governor not to call a special election for Strange’s seat in 2017? The previous governor, Robert Bentley, had appointed Strange to his seat and set a special election for November 2018 before resigning in a sex scandal. But new Gov. Kay Ivey was under local pressure to move the election forward, and McConnell was concerned it would distract the GOP amid efforts to repeal Obamacare and pass sweeping tax legislation in 2017. Strange told McConnell not to worry — Ivey was a friend and political ally, Strange said, and they didn’t need to worry about her cutting short Strange’s time in office. The next month, Ivey moved the special election to December, setting off an improbable series of one-after-another political gut punches to McConnell and his conference that ended with Alabama electing its first Democratic senator in a quarter-century, the GOP Senate majority shrinking to just 51 seats, and Democrats hopeful of winning back the Senate in 2018. ‘It’s all one big self-inflicted wound,’ said Josh Holmes, McConnell’s former chief of staff and one of his top political lieutenants, who described McConnell’s conversation with Strange. ‘This election never even needed to happen.’” Full story.

— “Republican civil war erupts anew,” by POLITICO’s Eliana Johnson and Alex Isenstadt: “[B]oth sides are blaming the other for Tuesday’s loss, with each painting the results as a case study in the other’s political ineptitude. [Steve] Bannon has argued from the outset that Republican leaders have positioned themselves against the president, determined to thwart his agenda. But McConnell and his allies are using Tuesday’s results to tell the president — whom Bannon helped to cajole into the race on Moore’s behalf — that his former chief strategist is a political liability. … McConnell told associates that he wanted to destroy Bannon politically, according to one person familiar with the Republican leader’s thinking. Their goal: to curtail his influence ahead of the 2018 midterms, in which Bannon has vowed to recruit candidates to knock off McConnell-backed incumbents.”

Trump listened to the establishment, then ignored them: “It was an appeal from Tennessee Sen. Bob Corker that ultimately convinced the president to campaign in Alabama on Strange’s behalf. Trump even placed a cold call to Ward Baker, the former executive director of the National Republican Senatorial Committee, before doing so. When Baker told Trump that Strange was, in fact, in real trouble, the president decided to intervene. But he didn’t heed the same establishment voices, including his own political advisers, who urged him to stay out of the general election after Strange’s defeat. He also rejected private appeals both from his daughter, Ivanka, and his son-in-law, Jared Kushner, who urged him to keep his distance from Moore.” Full story.

— “How Republicans are experiencing 2010 in reverse,” by POLITICO’s John Bresnahan and Elana Schor: “Many Republicans insist that the similarities are superficial, that [Scott] Brown’s shocking 2010 victory in deep-blue Massachusetts was a referendum on Obamacare while Tuesday’s win by [Doug] Jones in dark-red Alabama only happened because of a deeply flawed Republican candidate, Roy Moore. … But even those Republicans acknowledge that this year’s intense engagement on the left — turnout in Alabama on Tuesday crushed state officials’ 25 percent expectations, ending up closer to 40 percent — carries echoes of the 2010 GOP wave. ‘The enthusiasm, the movement across country, the reaction, the organizing, that seems very similar to me,’ Sen. James Lankford (R-Okla.) said.” Full story.

— “Alabama win stokes Democratic Senate majority hopes,” by Robillard: “Democrats’ special election win in Alabama has cracked open a path to the Senate majority in 2018 that looked all but impassable before Tuesday night. The party will still have to defend 10 incumbents next year in states carried by President Donald Trump in 2016 — a long shot in even the best political environment — in addition to snagging Republican-held seats in Nevada and Arizona. But the party no longer needs to stage an upset in another forbidding red state — like Tennessee or Texas — on top of that. … “I worry that the Senate is in play. I didn’t think that before [Tuesday],” said Alex Conant, a Republican strategist and partner at Firehouse Strategies who worked for Florida Sen. Marco Rubio‘s presidential campaign.” Full story.

THE NEXT SENATOR FROM MINNESOTA — “Minnesota governor names Lt. Gov. Tina Smith as Franken replacement,” by Robillard and Maggie Severns: “Minnesota Gov. Mark Dayton appointed his lieutenant governor, Tina Smith, to replace resigning Sen. Al Franken at a press conference Wednesday morning. … Smith plans to run in a 2018 special election to complete the remainder of Franken’s term, which lasts until 2020. That means she’d be running at the same time as Democratic Sen. Amy Klobuchar, who is up for reelection next year. It will be Smith’s first solo run for elected office.” Full story.

— Rep. Keith Ellison tweeted his support of Smith and ended speculation that he could run against her in 2018.

— Republicans look to Pawlenty: Republicans are hoping former Gov. Tim Pawlenty, a 2012 presidential candidate and now the head of the Financial Services Roundtable, will jump in the race, with some suggesting he could save the GOP majority with a victory. But polling from a liberal group in Minnesota indicates Pawlenty might have a hard start. The survey, conducted by Public Policy Polling for the Alliance for a Better Minnesota when Pawlenty was a rumored candidate for governor in November, found Pawlenty trailing 38 percent to 41 percent to a generic Democrat. Thirty-three percent of voters viewed him favorably, and 36 percent viewed him unfavorably. Full results here.

KIHUEN WATCH — “Second woman accuses Kihuen of persistent, unwanted sexual advances,” by the Nevada Independent’s Megan Messerly: “Once-rising Democratic star Rep. Ruben Kihuen made repeated and unwanted sexual advances toward a female lobbyist while he was a state senator, the woman told The Nevada Independent. The woman, who requested anonymity because of concerns about being identified and the possible consequences in Nevada’s small political world, says that Kihuen touched her thighs or buttocks on three separate occasions without her consent. She also showed the Independent hundreds of suggestive text messages she received from Kihuen — including invitations to come sit on his lap in the middle of a committee hearing and repeated requests to spend the night at her place — over the course of the 2015 legislative session.” Full story.

EARLY POLLING DATA — FIRST IN SCORE — Internal poll gives Nicholson edge in Wisconsin: Businessman and veteran Kevin Nicholson’s campaign is out with an internal poll showing the candidate with an edge over his main rival in the Wisconsin GOP Senate primary. Nicholson earned 30 percent of the vote in the survey, conducted by WPA Intelligence, compared to 23 percent for state Sen. Leah Vukmir. Perennial candidate John Schiess has 2 percent of the vote, with 45 percent of voters undecided. Forty percent of likely GOP primary voters have a favorable opinion of Nicholson, while just 5 percent have a negative opinion of him, and a total of 60 percent have heard of him. Full results here. Full story here.

ANOTHER ONE — Dent may retire early, triggering special election, The New York Times’ Jonathan Martin and Alex Burns report: “Republicans are now bracing for the possibility of another unexpectedly difficult special election, in March, this one in a conservative-leaning House district in western Pennsylvania, and they are resigned to having to spend money to protect what has been a safe seat. Further, [Rep. Charlie] Dent, who has already said he will not seek reelection next year, confirmed he has had conversations with TV news executives about becoming an analyst, raising the possibility that he would leave his seat early and create yet another special election for his party. (‘I have no definitive plans,’ he said.)” Full story.

EMERGING ISSUES — “Western Values Project pressures three Republicans on public lands,” by Campaign Pro’s Elena Schneider: “The Western Values Project released internal polling and announced a TV, digital and radio ad campaign in three House seats, urging members to ‘stop the attacks on public lands,’ one of the TV ads states. The ads target Republicans: battleground Arizona Rep. Martha McSally, Oregon Rep. Greg Walden and Washington Rep. Jaime Herrera Beutler. ‘In the heart of the West, 2 million acres of protected public lands just got wiped off the map, selling off American heritage,’ the TV ad’s narrator says. ‘Now elites in Washington have their sights set on Arizona.’ Polling conducted by Global Strategy Group show that a majority of voters in all three districts oppose legislation to shrink national monuments in Utah.” Watch the AZ-02 ad here, OR-02 here, and WA-03 here. Full story here.

POST-MORTEMS — FIRST IN SCORE — New poll looks closer at Northam win: A new poll, conducted by GBA Strategies for the NEA Advocacy Fund, AAPI Progressive Action, and the National Public Education Action Fund, took a look at how Lt. Gov. Ralph Northam pulled off his landslide win in the Virginia governor’s race. Their five major takeaways: “both the electorate’s composition and enthusiasm broke in Democrats’ favor, health care and education were central to the more nuanced conversation heard by voters, Trump helped Northam more than Gillespie, ‘racially loaded’ messaging and the economy appealed to some of Gillespie’s base, [and] communities of color overwhelmingly broke for Northam, yet had different priorities.” Read the polling memo here.

STAFFING UP — GOP fundraising firm High Cotton Consulting joins Axiom Strategies: “As part of the merger, Alexandra Kendrick and her fundraising staff joined Axiom’s D.C. office,” the Axiom release says, with Kendrick, High Cotton’s founder, adding: “I’m excited to add fundraising to the suite of services Axiom offers clients.”

— Cordray hires Jones’ national finance director: Ohio Democratic gubernatorial candidate Richard Cordray has hired Antonia Koch as his campaign’s finance director. Koch previously served as national finance director for Sen.-elect Doug Jones’ campaign in Alabama, and before that was finance director for Jon Ossoff in the Georgia special election.

ENDORSEMENT WATCH — Club backs former Cruz aide Chip Roy for Congress: The Club for Growth PAC is endorsing Chip Roy, a former top aide to Texas Sen. Ted Cruz, for the open seat held by retiring GOP Rep. Lamar Smith. “Cut from the same cloth as Sens. Ted Cruz and Mike Lee, Chip is exactly the type of fiscal conservative Congress needs,” Club for Growth PAC President David McIntosh said.

— PCCC endorses four congressional candidates: The Progressive Change Campaign Committee is endorsing Mike Levin in California’s 49th District, Veronica Escobar in Texas’ 16th District, Greg Edwards in Pennsylvania’s 15th District, Liz Watson in Indiana’s 9th District and Jocelyn Benson in Michigan’s Secretary of State race.

MONEY CHASE — Gorka holds second fundraiser for Missouri candidate: Former White House aide Sebastian Gorka is holding his second fundraiser for Tony Monetti, a retired Air Force lieutenant colonel and otherwise obscure candidate in Missouri’s GOP primary. The minimum $250-a-head fundraiser will be held today in the St. Louis suburbs, according to an invite obtained by POLITICO. A max donation gets a picture with Gorka and access to a VIP reception.

QUOTE OF THE DAY: “In hindsight, I admit it wasn’t appropriate.” — Rep. Blake Farenthold to CNN, on calling his aides an expletive.

Jakamistalous 2000-luvun yhteisvaurautena

Tämä artikkeli on johdantokappale Karin Bradleyn ja Daniel Pargmanin artikkelissa ”The sharing economy as the commons of the 21st century”.

Jakamistalouden alustojen sekä palveluiden nykyinen levittäminen ja käyttöönotto ovat ylistettyjä siitä, että ne sallivat erilaisten alikäytettyjen resurssien kuten kotien, työkalujen, vaatteiden ja autojen tulla tehokkaammin käytetyiksi. Näillä tuodaan ihmiset yhteen, kannustetaan kehittämään käyttäjäkeskeisempiä palveluja ja muodostetaan uudenlaisia yrittämisen muotoja (Botsman & Rogers, 2011; Gansky, 2010). Toiset ovat kriittisempiä ja väittävät, että jakamistalouden alustat kuten TaskRabbit, Airbnb ja RelayRides pyrkivät kärjistämään homofiliaa, johtavat työn prekarisaatioon ja keskittävät yhä pahemmin rahaa ja valtaa (Schor, 2014). Kritisismi globaalin voittoa tavoittelevan jakamisen alustoja kohtaan kasvaa kun nämä hankkivat lähes monopoliaseman kukin omassa markkinaraossaan — positio josta ne voivat sanella sääntöjä ja olosuhteita miljoonille käyttäjille, kuskeille ja isännille, jotka eivät pääse osuuksille kasvavista korporaatioiden liikevoitoista (Gansky, 2014; Gorenflo, 2015; Taylor, 2014).

On kuitenkin olemassa konseptuaalinen sekaannus tässä debatissa siitä mitä “jakamistalous” tarkoittaa, ja varsin erilaisia ilmiöitä monesti tungetaan sateenvarjotermin alle. Jakamistalouden alustat voidaan organisoida usein eri tavoin: voittoa tavoitteleviksi korporaatioiksi, voittoa tavoittelemattomiksi ja hyötyä tavoitteleviksi organisaatioiksi, säätiöiksi, osuuskunniksi, yhteisöryhmiksi tai löyhemmiksi epämuodollisiksi verkostoiksi. Jotkut toimivat globaalisti, toiset ovat taas pieniä ja paikallisia, joilla on eri asteinen kiinnitys paikkaan. Täten jakamistalouden ’toiminnan’ ymmärtäminen ja arviointi voi hyvinkin olla erilainen riippuen analysoiduista jakamistalouden muodoista. Meelen & Frenken (2015) määrittelevät jakamistalouden ihmisten välisiksi interaktioiksi, jotka hetkellisesti sallivat muiden käyttää heidän alikäytettyjä resurssejaan, rahan vaihdannan kanssa tai ilman. Palvelut kuten Uber tai TaskRabbit eivät siis mahdu Meelen & Frenkenin (2015) jakamistalouden määritelmään, vaan niitä tulisikin pitää osana ”tilaustaloutta” tai ”keikkataloutta”.

Tutkimusta on tehty pitkään ilmiöiden saralla kuten jakaminen, vastavuoroisuus, vaihdanta ja lahjojen antaminen, jotka voivat olla käyttökelposia kun tutkitaan jakamistaloutta (Kolm, 2000; Mauss, 2002 [1924]; Polanyi, 2001 [1944]; Sahlins, 1972). Esimerkiksi Russell Belk on kirjoittanut tuotteliaasti jakamisen käytännöstä (Belk, 2010) sekä jakamisen ja jakamistalouden suhteesta (Belk, 2014). Ottaaksemme osaa keskusteluun siitä miten jakamistalouden käytäntöjä voidaan hallita demokraattisemmilla ja resurssiystävällisemmillä tavoilla, me uskomme että yhteisvaurauden hallinnan tutkimus ja teoretisointi voisivat olla tässä käyttökelpoisia, erityisesti Ostromin (1990) työ. Kostakis & Bauwens (2014) sekä muut ovat aiemmin osoittaneet että jakamistalouden sekä osallisuustalouden osat voidaan aivan totta ymmärtää yhteisvaurautena.

Rifkin (2014) käyttää termiä ”yhteistyöpohjainen yhteisvauraus” kuvaamaan verkottunutta yhteisvaurautta sellaisena kuin avoimen lähdekoodin softa ja rauta on, ja väittää että tämä yhteisvauraus demokratisoi pääsyn sekä informaatioon että materiaalisiin resursseihin. Digitaalisten teknologioiden ja verkkoalustojen leviäminen on tehnyt uudentyyppisen yhteisvaurauden luomisesta huomattavasti helpompaa kuin mitä se ennen olisi ollut. Aiemmin olisi ollut paljon monimutkaisempaa, kalliimpaa ja jopa käytännöllisesti mahdotonta järjestää asiat tällä tavoin (Shirky, 2008). Tämä vuorostaan on mahdollistanut kommentaattorien kuten Rifkin (2014) ja Mason (2015) esittämään että olemme astumassa postkapitalismin aikaan.

Nykyisen ja tulevan yhteistyöllisen yhteisvaurauden suurista visioista huolimatta nämä kohtaavat todellisuudessa monia haasteita ja ovat usein riippuvaisia pienestä määrästä erittäin aktiivisia yksilöitä. Tämä ja muut tekijät tekevät vaikeaksi skaalaamisen ja kriittisen massan hankkimisen sekä käsiksi pääsyn resursseihin kilpailulle valtavirran markkinavaihtoehtoja vastaan. Mitkä tekijät ovat kriittisiä nykyajan yhteistyöpohjaisen yhteisvaurauden dynamiikan ymmärtämiselle? Tätä kysymystä tutkiaksemme palaamme Ostromin (1990) institutionaalisiin designperiaatteisiin pitkäaikaisten luonnonvarojen hallinnalle ja tutkimme ovatko nämä periaatteet relevantteja tämän hetken yhteistyöpohjaisen yhteisvaurauden ymmärtämisen suhteen, jotka ovat globalisoidussa, urbanisoidussa ja digitalisoidussa yhteiskunnan viitekehyksessä. Tämän analyysin tarkoitus on kontribuoida keskusteluun siitä miten yhteistyöpohjainen yhteisvauraus, osana laajempaa jakamistaloutta, voidaan ymmärtää teoreettisesti ja kuinka sitä voidaan tukea.

Ostromin designperiaatteet perustuvat laajaan empiiriseen tutkimukseen luonnonvaroista, jotka ovat lokaalissa kontekstissa, ja joiden käyttäjät ovat riippuvaisia toisistaan ja näistä luonnonvaroista elinkeinoissaan. Tässä artikkelissa me sen sijaan analysoimme kolmea eri casea joihin me viittaamme ”21. vuosisadan yhteisvaurautena”: the Bike Kitchen, Hoffice ja Wikipedia. Nämä ovat esimerkkejä sen tyypin yhteisvauraudesta joka on kasvanut viime vuosina, joka sijaitsee globaalimmassa, urbaanimmassa ja digitaalisemmassa maailmassa, ja joka edustaa eri asteista erikoistuneisuutta, digitaaliteknologian käyttöä ja sosiaalisia siteitä käyttäjiensä keskuudessa. Luonnonvaroilla on paljon pidempi historia ja tottakai tulevat olemaan kriittisen tärkeitä myös 21. vuosisadalla, mutta tässä analysoimme 21. vuosisadan yhteisvaurautta näiden kolmen keissin kautta.

Ensimmäinen, the Bike Kitchen, on avoin voittoa tavoittelematon tee-se-itse (DIY) pyöräkorjaamo joka toimii esimerkkinä paikallisesti ankkuroidun yhteisvaurauden muodosta, mutta yleisillä periaatteilla varustettuna, kansainvälisen verkoston kehittämänä, joka on tehnyt konseptista helpon kopioida ja levittää ympäri maailman. The Bike Kitchen voidaan nähdä lokalisoidun fyysisen yhteisvaurauden muotona, usein urbaaniin kontekstiin sijoittuneena ja samanlaisena kuin esimerkiksi hacklabit, jaetut työtilat tai yhteisöpuutarhat. Toinen tapaus, Hoffice, on avoin konsepti tilapäisten ”kotitoimistojen” järjestämiseen, eli joukko periaatteita joilla tarjota ja muuttaa yksityinen keittiöpöytä yhden päivän jaetuksi toimistotilaksi yhteisön käyttöön. Hoffice on esimerkki tilapäisestä pop-up -yhteisvauraudesta, samanlaisesta kuin ”kotiravintolat”, ravintolapäivä tai kyytienjakopalvelut jotka ovat saavuttaneet suosion digiteknologian leviämisen myötä. Kolmas case on Wikipedia, täysin digitaalista yhteisvaurautta globaalilla saavutettavuudella, vaikka tulisi todeta että jotkut kielet ovat paremmin edustettuina kuin toiset.

Tässä artikkelissa me rakennamme typologian, jota voidaan käyttää viitekehyksenä 21. vuosisadan yhteisvaurauden analysointiin käyttäen yllämainittua kolmea casea, ja asettaen ne vastakkain Ostromin luonnonvara-yhteisvaurauden kanssa (1990). Typologia on rakentunut sellaisten kysymysten ympärille kuin mitä jaetaan, kenellä on pääsy kyseessä oleviin resursseihin ja miten paljon kommonerit ovat riippuvaisia resurssista. Tämä typologia on rakentunut sellaisten kysymysten ympärille kuin mitä jaetaan, kenellä on pääsy kyseessä oleviin resursseihin ja miten paljon kommonerit ovat riippuvaisia resurssista. Perustuen tähän typologiaan, me kommentoimme Ostromin designperiaatteita ja luonnostelemme tekijöitä jotka ovat relevantteja 21. vuosisadan yhteisvaurauden ymmärtämiselle ja tukemiselle.

Tämän artikkelin löydökset näyttävät kuinka 21. vuosisadan yhteisvauraus eroaa perinteisistä luonnonvaroista monilla tavoin — sen suhteen mikä on jaetun resurssin luonne, sen suhteen mikä on oikeasti ”niukkaa”, markkinoille pääsyn ja poispääsyn esteet, riippuvaisuus resurssista ja kuinka sääntöjä luodaan ja ylläpidetään. Kontribuutiomme on siis rakennettu näiden erojen ymmärtämiselle, joka voi palvella perustana tulevaisuuden työlle nykyaikaisen yhteisvaurauden mukautetumpien tukijärjestelmien kehittämiselle. 21. vuosisadan yhteisvauraus on elintärkeä osa voittoa tavoittelematonta jakamistaloutta. Tukitapojen löytämine vastaa Ganskyn (2014), Gorenflon (2015), Kostakiksen & Bauwensin (2014), sekä Scholzin (2016) pyyntöön demokratisoida jakamistalous.

New Post has been published on Mortgage News

next-step-awaited-for-belmont-ave

BELLEVILLE —

The Belleville Planning Board voted last Thursday, July 13, to recommend that a tract in the Silver Lake section be designated as an “area in need of redevelopment.”

Now the matter goes to the township mayor and council for their consideration and, if the governing body gives its consent, it will likely lead to the pitching of a redevelopment plan by a prospective developer.

Local attorney Robert Gaccione, representing an interested party proposing the designation for the property at 81-179 Belmont Ave., containing the 55,000-square-foot Super Fresh supermarket and a huge parking lot, bordered by an N.J. Transit station, identified his clients as BOIV Belleville MCB, LLC.

Daniel A. Shabel, portfolio manager for MCB Real Estate LLC of Mt. Laurel and Baltimore, said MCB was part of a “joint venture” with Black Oak Associates Inc. of Towson, Md., whose project manager Ray Kell appeared for that firm last week.

Shabel said the joint venture, which has acquired the Belmont Ave. site, hasn’t yet committed to future plans for the property.

“That’s still in the planning stages,” he said.

If and when such a plan materializes, it would reportedly be the first project undertaken by this partnership.

MCB, according to its website, is a “privately held, institutionally capitalized commercial real estate investment firm that acquires, develops, manages and capitalizes assets in retail, industrial, office and mixed-use sectors.” It says the firm currently owns and operates 6 million square feet of commercial real estate.

Black Oak’s website describes that company as an “integrated property, development/redevelopment and investment management company in the mid-Atlantic region with approximately 2 million square feet currently owned and managed. … Since 2010, Block Oak acquired six grocery-anchored shopping centers in Pennsylvania, Maryland, Virginia and North Carolina totaling over 500,000 square feet.”

The team’s reluctance to reveal what it intends for the Belleville site notwithstanding, township officials have previously hinted at some type of residential construction.

And that notion seemed to gain credence from comments delivered during the Planning Board session by Don Meisel of CME Associates, consulting municipal engineers, retained by the board to research the status of the Belmont Ave. site.

After advising the board it appeared that the property would meet several criteria to be declared an area in need of redevelopment, particularly being “not fully productive,” given the property’s “age and obsolescence,” coupled with evidence of groundwater contamination from “petroleum hydrocarbons” and “historic fill,” Meisel said, “the owners will have to be held to pretty high standards if they want to put in residential development.”

A bit later, Meisel mentioned that one possible scenario for a prospective residential project there could see “25 [residential] units per acre,” which, he said, could translate to a total of about 225 units on the 9.5-acre Belmont Ave. site.

Expect a building height limited to between 40 and 50 feet, with studios, one- , two- and some three-bedroom apartments, he added.

The talk about housing prompted reservations voiced by board member Andrew Conte, who recalled the presence of chemical “test pits” that handled discharges from the old Edison battery plant that operated until 1970 on or near of the Belmont Ave. property.

And board member Arlene Schor echoed that concern, saying that those chemical “settling ponds” reportedly contained such toxic chemicals like carbolic acid, mercury, arsenic, zinc, manganese and others and that “sewers were created in Silver Lake to drain” those products that came from the old plant.

“I’m sympathetic to development here,” said Schor, “but not for residential or educational [use].” Mercury, while it may be treated for remediation, “doesn’t go away,” she said.

Meisel countered that, whatever the prospective redeveloper’s intent, “Nothing is going to happen on the site until the LSRP (Licensed State Remediation Professional) completes his investigation. There’s a lot to do.”

And board chairman Raymond Veniero said: “We know [the property] is contaminated. That’s why we’d like to see it designated as an area in need of redevelopment. We want to see it cleaned up.” But, he added, “At this point, there’s no development plan. Nobody on this board has seen one.”

Resident Vincent Frantantoni interjected that any discussion of a redevelopment plan was improper unless and until such point that such a plan may surface but that if such a plan were to be considered, and housing is proposed, it would be misguided because the region is already “overbuilt.”

Art F City: This Week’s Must-See Art Events: Anxiety on High

Let’s face it—the bulk of this week’s chatter in the art world isn’t going to be about Donald Trump’s Inauguration, but Marilyn Minter and Madonna’s talk Thursday evening at the Brooklyn Museum lamenting it. And that’s as it should be. Resistance to this new presidency is essential.

Friday, we’ll be participating in the #J20 Art Strike, so no content on our website will be available but for a livestream of Rachel Mason lip synching the inauguration as FutureClown. Those seeking to participate in the art protests can head to the Whitney where Occupy Museums will be hosting a “Speak Out”.

Other than that, we’re recommending a show about soul crushing anxiety and despair at LUBOV, and a show called “Infected Foot” at Greene Naftali, because sickness also seems like an appropriate theme for the week. Sorry to be depressing. Unfortunately, there’s no other honest way to paint the events.

Mon

Orgy Park

237 Jefferson Street, 1B Brooklyn, NY 6:00 p.m. - 9:00 p.m.Website

Boning of the Thrownes

What is this show? We’re not exactly sure… but I clicked on it because I thought it might involve an even more-sex-filled (or spookier) parody of Game of Thrones. No such luck, but the brief, cryptic description also sounds enticing: “Thrown’ Bones for the pot, soup’s on and we’re gone veggie.”

At any rate, the list of participating artists looks extremely promising:

Liz Ainslie, Andrea Arrubla, Katherine Aungier, Rory Baron, Joshua Bienko, Tess Bilhartz, Kate M. Blomquist, Lauren Collings Schwarz, Corydon Cowansage, Nicholas Cueva, Julie Curtiss, Emily Davidson, Sonya Derman, Rachel Fainter, Elise Ferguson, Angelina Gualdoni, Yuhi Hasegawa, Clinton King, Jenny Lee, Stuart Lorimer, Ioana Manolache, Anthony Miler, Patrick Carlin Mohundro, Dominic Musa, Steve Mykietyn, Dan Oglander, Maria Stabio, Adam Sipe, Tracy Thomason, Charles Tisa, Zuriel Waters, Lindsay Wraga

Tue

Greene Naftali Gallery

508 W 26th St New York, NY 6:00 p.m. - 8:00 p.m.Website

Infected Foot

Another contender for this week’s best “Mystery Exhibition with a Weird Name.” We’re not sure what the works in Infected Foot have in common, if anything at all, but Mathieu Malouf’s paintings are always a treat, just like this strange and lovely one above.

Artists: Monika Baer, Thomas Bayrle, Merlin Carpenter, Tony Conrad, Michaela Eichwald, Jana Euler, Genoveva Filipovic, Andrea Fourchy, Sergej Jensen, Michael Krebber, Mathieu Malouf, Laura Owens, Paul Sharits, Reena Spaulings, Josef Strau, Stefan Tcherepnin, Amelie von Wulffen

Wed

The Noguchi Museum

9-01 33rd Road Queens, NY 10:00 a.m. - 5:00 p.m.Website

Self-Interned, 1942: Noguchi in Poston War Relocation Center

February 17th, 2017 marks the 75th anniversary of the United States’ inconceivable decision to forcibly relocate Japanese-Americans to internment camps during the second World War. Remarkably, Isamu Noguchi volunteered to leave New York (where Japanese-Americans weren’t subject to the order) and become interned in an Arizona desert camp.

This exhibition features work from the years immediately before, during, and after the sculptor’s internment, and traces the impact of that atrocity on his practice. It’s a timely exhibition not just because of the upcoming anniversary—it seems appropriate this show would just before the inauguration of Donald Trump, who proposed registering Muslim Americans and has plans for mass deportations.

Baxter St at The Camera Club of New York

126 Baxter St New York, NY 6:00 p.m. - 8:00 p.m.Website

Sadie Barnette: Do Not Destroy

Here’s another timely exhibition about the US government’s repression and bullying of minorities. Sadie Barnette has been mining a 500 page FBI document about her father—labelled “Historical Value/Do Not Destroy”—as source material for artworks. Her father, Rodney Barnette, founded the Compton chapter of the Black Panther Party in 1968, and was of course the subject of an extensive surveillance program on the part of the state. The younger Barnette has reclaimed this invasive archive—bedazzling pages like a child’s family scrapbook and enlarging photos to fine-art scale. So good.

El Cortez

17 Ingraham St. Brooklyn, NY 7:00 p.m. - 10:00 p.m.Website

Happy Anniversary Roe V Wade

Happy 44th Birthday, Roe v. Wade! We wish we had a better gift for you than a Supreme Court vacancy in the hands of sociopaths, but at least you’re getting a kick-ass party!

The evening is a fundraiser for the National Latina Institute for Reproductive Health, and features performances from artist Viva Ruiz (with special guest Bjorn Majestik, drag innovator Matty Horrorchata, comediennes Adrienne Truscott & Suni Reyes, and music from DJ Eli Escobar.

TICKET DETAILS: Advance $15 At the door $20 VIP $50 VIP Admission includes: booth seating, free beverage sponsor drinks, $20 of raffle tickets & fun feminist swag

Thu

The FLAG Art Foundation

545 West 25th Street New York, NY 6:00 p.m. - 8:00 p.m.Website

Cynthia Daignault: There is nothing I could say that I haven't thought before

Painter Cynthia Daignault collaborates with artists by asking them if she can paint one of their works. Specifically, she approaches artists whose own practices deal with issues of appropriation. The resulting images look a bit like images from a catalog of a show she’s curated about complicated notions of authorship. Yes, this is a pretty “fish-meets-barrel” conceit, but the paintings look pretty darn good. The works she’s depicted come from a pretty impressive list of artists:

Cory Arcangel, Sadie Barnette, Carol Bove, Sara Cwynar, Andy Coolquitt, Peter Dreher, Jessica Eaton, Awol Erizku, Roe Ethridge, Robert Gober, Josephine Halvorson, Anthea Hamilton, Peter Harkawik, Matthew Higgs, Jim Hodges, John Houck, Jeff Koons, Barbara Kruger, Louise Lawler, Margaret Lee, Allan McCollum, Josephine Meckseper, Jonathan Monk, Roula Partheniou, Richard Phillips, Charles Ray, Magali Reus, Jenna Rosenberg, Ed Ruscha, Tom Sachs, Erin Shirreff, Lorna Simpson, Julia Wachtel, Stanley Wolukau-Wanambwa, Fred Wilson, and Letha Wilson

Two other series on view, “MoMA, 2017” and “The Certainty of Others” similarly play with authorship. In the latter, she’s asked a series of representational painters to recreate one of her still lives, the original of which was destroyed. Those painters include Conor Backman, Jason Bereswill, Todd Bienvenu, Canyon Castator, TM Davy, Gregory Edwards, Matt Hansel, Daniel Heidkamp, Paul Jacobsen, Chason Matthams, Tristan Unrau, and Dylan Vandenhoeck

Brooklyn Museum

200 Eastern Parkway Brooklyn, NY 8:00 p.m. - 10:00 p.m.Website

Brooklyn Talks: Madonna X Marilyn Minter

Be still my heart! As part of the Brooklyn Museum’s A Year of Yes: Reimagining Feminism,��Marilyn Minter and Madonna (yes, really) will be talking shop on the eve of the inauguration. This is a no-brainer must-see, if you can find a way to get tickets to this thing. They’re sold out.

Fri

Whitney Museum

99 Gansevoort St 11:00 a.m.-2:00 p.m.Website

Occupy Museum Hosts A Speak Out on Inauguration Day

As concerned citizens we need to make it our job to speak out against the new Trump government. That job starts Friday so we need to show up in whatever capacity we can.

Occupy Museums is beginning by hosting a “speak out” at the Whitney, which will be followed by a day of assemblies and actions led by the #J20 Art Strike organizers and Sense of Emergency. Many of the details have not yet been released, but know that the speak out begins at 11:00 a.m. and runs through 2:00 p.m. and the days activities will culminate at Foley Park at 5:00 p.m. for a protest.

Confirmed: Martha Rosler, Kalup Linzy, Noah Fischer, Naeem Mohaiemen, Tracy Morris, Amy Sillman, Mira Schor, Paddy Johnson (yours truly) and more.

Los Angeles Contemporary Exhibitions and Art F City

6522 Hollywood Blvd 11:30 a.m. ESTWebsite

Rachel Mason, FutureClown

FutureClown, the Internet Avatar of Rachel Mason, will lip synch the swearing in ceremony of Donald J. Trump as President of the United States. The performance will take place in real-time and will be streamed online via YouTube.

From our perspective, clowning the entire event is pretty much the only reaction a sane person could have to the inauguration. As a result, the content of our entire site will be inaccessible but for a popup of Mason’s live stream. It’s the only sensible thing to do.

Sat

Trestle Projects

400 3rd Ave Brooklyn, NY 7:00 p.m. - 9:00 p.m.Website

Through a Honeycomb

The debut exhibition from Trestle Projects’ Curator-in-Residence for 2017, Jesse Bandler Firestone, Through a Honeycomb looks to be a great start to the year. The exhibition brings together artists, designers, and landscape architects to consider aspects of the built environment from agriculture and sustainability to surveillance and labor. It’s nice to see at least one event thinking utopian in these dark days.

Artists: Katie Torn, JaNae Contag, Juan Camilo Rodelo Vargas, Janne Höltermann, EcoAge (Emmaline Payette + Paula Pino), Laurencia Strauss, Sean Donovan, and Blue Planet Consulting

Sun

LUBOV

373 Broadway New York, NY 6:00 p.m. - 9:00 p.m.Website

Hard Cry

Another timely show, this one about soul-crushing despair and anxiety.

Curator Gabriel H. Sanchez has brought together five artists from famously-neurotic NYC to “revel in the emotional sludge of contemporary living”. That includes social media fatigue, political horror, and so much more. Yay!

Artists: Ian Swanson, Cristina de Miguel, Tariku Shiferaw, Ryan Oskin, Kyle Haddad Welch
