Autogestion

Imaginary definition

Autogestion: Traffic congestion that makes drivers and commuters secretly think about revolting against clocks and labor systems. It is often accompanied by indigestion, regardless of how much or what has been consumed, but studies have been inconclusive regarding the cause of this acute reaction. It has been suggested that it's the result of a discomforting combination of extended vehicular queueing and compulsive as well as untimely consumption of food, beverages, and useless goods and services. There have been reports of chain barfing in long traffic lines but they are unverified and the phenomenon is considered an urban myth by many sceptics. However, autogestion is taken seriously by the authorities, who try to find workarounds and give incentives to the labor force to prevent it from thinking while commuting or in general.

Actual Definition (a) Workers' self-management. It includes workers' collectives and cooperatives and it is connected to syndicalism. Classical economic philosophers, such as Stuart Mills (liberal) and Karl Marx noted the efficiency of the model. Funnily enough, while Mills believed that companies run by autogestion would eventually displace capital-managed firms, Marx didn't.

(b) (The construction of) a self-managed economy. Closely connected to the notion of social democracy, autogestion in this context aims at building an economic system that will avoid the inequalities, irrationalities and crises created by capital- and profit-driven economic models.

Where we came across it in its mundane sense Mentioned in Kanishka Koonewardena's essay "Space" (in Keywords for Radicals).

John used to be a successful man. And that made him happy. Success, in the way he had learned it by his father and his father's father, was what he had aimed for since he was a kid. His purpose in life was to gain wealth: He bought houses, cars, huge televisions. And while all this was making him happy, one day, after a very heavy supper he had the night before, he woke up with a dreadful realization: As he owned his things, the company he worked for owned him: His time, his energy, his thoughts. Suddenly, John understood the true meaning of corporate property.

Unconventional cartographies are different ways of mapping the world, that push the boundaries of conventional cartography and include mapping that make sense to certain (perhaps marginalized) communities and groups, and let you experience and expand your view of the world in different ways.

Some examples of unconventional maps such the Dog World Map or the World Map of Tropical Diseases can be found all over the internet.
