LEAP 乌托邦巡航｜乌托邦进程时：论艺术在21世纪的社会相关性

1. The concept of "affordance" is introduced, which refers to the possibility of an object being used for a purpose beyond its intended function. This idea is applied to the study of policy-making and financial tools, which can create affordances that shape social interactions and outcomes.2. The article highlights the importance of understanding the role of non-state actors in shaping economic policies and practices, particularly in the context of neoliberalism. Non-state actors include civil society organizations, social movements, and networks of various kinds.3. The authors argue that these non-state actors can play a crucial role in shaping the terms of debate and influencing policy outcomes by creating affordances that shape the way people think about and interact with each other. This can involve challenging dominant narratives and creating new possibilities for action.4. The article cites examples of non-state actors creating affordances in various contexts, including the arts sector, where organizations such as the Serpentine Arts Technologies and RadicalxChange are working to create new models of ownership and decision-making.5. The authors suggest that these efforts are part of a broader trend towards decentralizing power and creating more inclusive and participatory forms of governance. This trend is driven by a recognition that traditional forms of governance have failed to address many of the pressing social and economic challenges of our time.6. The article concludes by emphasizing the importance of understanding the role of non-state actors in shaping economic policies and practices, and the potential for these actors to create affordances that can help to create a more just and equitable society.
