A collective infrastructure for\u00a0care<\/span>\u00a0requires institutions that can organise and allocate the necessary resources. As the\u00a0care<\/span>\u00a0crisis has intensified, including during the pandemic, people have pooled their capacities and resources in local networks\u00a0of<\/span>\u00a0mutual aid and practices\u00a0of<\/span>\u00a0commoning. At the same time, remunicipalisation movements in Europe and elsewhere have sought to reverse privatisation and bring services back into the public hands\u00a0of<\/span>\u00a0municipalities and local authori\u00adties. Key to these initiatives has been the elimination\u00a0of<\/span>\u00a0the profit motive and the rollback\u00a0of<\/span>\u00a0corporate control over key utilities, especially where this has had detrimental effects on universal access, quality\u00a0of<\/span>\u00a0service provision and costs. Remunicipalisation seeks to devise alternative ownership, access and decision-making models that are not orientated towards financial profit. In this seminar we will discuss how practices\u00a0of<\/span>\u00a0commoning and (re)municipalisation can help to create bottom-up and inclusive infrastructures\u00a0of<\/span>\u00a0care<\/span>, and what the potentials and challenges might be.<\/p>\n
