Abstract
In the local action research projects in which we are awakening and implementing different economic possibilities, we are engaging in ‘a politics of the subject’ (Gibson-Graham 2006). Minimally this means producing something beyond discursively enabled shifts in identity, taking into account the sensational and gravitational experience of embodiment. If to change ourselves is to change our worlds, and if that relationship is reciprocal, then the project of history-making is never distant but right here, on the borders of our sensing, thinking, feeling, moving bodies.
