Aktywizm dający przyjemność: działanie na zasadzie wspólnej zgody, lokalne zakorzenienie i oddolne polityki integracyjne

Abstract

This article discusses the operation of a grassroots pro-refugee initiative that has been active since the 2015 migration crisis. The author answers questions about why the grassroots initiative, which has no formal structures or external funding, has lasted so long, and analyzes its structure and mechanisms for effective interaction and cooperation with the local environment. The initiative is embedded in an existing local network, while drawing inspiration from the transnational activist movement. The author uses Adrienne Maree Brown’s notion of “pleasure activism,” David Graeber’s ethnographic descriptions of “anarchist groups operating by a consensus,” and ethnographic research of the initiative, which he conducted from September 2021 to July 2022. Key-words: pleasure activism, co-operation, local rootedness, friendship, consensual decision-making, refugees, grassroots pro-refugee collectives
