The Academy’s work is organized through communes, each of which will carry out in-depth research on a chosen area related to understanding capitalist modernity, its critical social problems, and solutions that can carry us toward democratic modernity. Looking to the past, present, and possible futures from the perspective of a democratic civilization provides a broad and varied spectrum of areas to research, comprehend, and interweave. Communes can address any potential area, depending on need and capacity.
They are interconnected through the founding assembly who take part in these communes and collectives to avoid repeating the fragmentation of mainstream social sciences. Instead, through the assembly and collectives, we explore the interrelatedness of different areas of investigation. Collectives provide the imagination, vision, aesthetics and ways of expressing the various areas of research. The library and archive, the organization of gatherings, and the Journal of Democratic Modernity are the main tools through which the efforts and work of the communes will be made concrete and publicized.
COMMUNES
The communes are the basis of the Academy, and bring together intellectuals, activists, and other interested people, to create collective knowledge.
Collectives
Collectives are our proposal of organisation for artists, translators, and more, to develop their work collectively.
