Life

Friederike Habermann became active in social movements in the early 1980s. 1986/87 she was the Federal Head Girl and 1987/88 she traveled through Asia. She then studied at the University of Hamburg .

After graduating, Habermann first headed the economic department of the daily newspaper Junge Welt in 1995 , but had to leave the paper again due to ideological differences and instead attended the International Meeting of the Zapatista Liberation Movement in Mexico in 1996 .

In 1998 Habermann took over the press coordination of the global networking of grassroots movements Peoples Global Action (PGA), which was established in Mexico . However, this was initially ignored, especially in Germany, which only changed after the protests at the WTO conference in Seattle in 1999 . In 2001, during the protests against the G8 summit in Genoa in 2001 , during which the Italian police shot a demonstrator, two days later the police also stormed the schools used as sleeping places, which were highly controversial.

Habermann spent the years 2000 to 2003 near her home in Steyerberg's Lebensgarten and on behalf of the Women's Initiative Foundation for several months in Argentina to research the crisis there . In 2007 Habermann received his doctorate from the FU Berlin with summa cum laude for Dr. phil. in political science. Today she lives near Berlin and is mainly involved in networking solidarity-based economic activity, including a. the Commons Institute based in Bonn.

Positions

With their "subject-founded theory of hegemony " Habermann assumes that identity categories such as gender or Rassifizierungen in the struggle for privileges such as access to resources, access to the body, hierarchical divisions of labor, etc. "designed" to be. From these theoretical considerations as well as from their experiences in “People's Global Action” results their conviction that the struggle for their own emancipation must always go hand in hand with the questioning of their own privileges.

In her book Ecommony describes current tendencies of a commons-based peer production in approaches other economic activity, based on the main principles of "ownership place property" and "contributing instead Swap". With this she combines the vision of a non-capitalist economy as a whole, based on “structural community” instead of “structural hatred” of competition.

In her most recent work, Exchanged , she explains why a truly emancipatory society must be free from equivalent exchange (“ free of exchange logic”). She argues that both the democratic regulation of market mechanisms and the nationalization of property fall short. She differentiates between aspects of competition and pressure to perform, and the associated fear, lack of time and alienation. On the other hand, it refers to the necessity of the exploitation of unpaid or less productive areas associated with equivalent exchange and thus every market through the price war, with corresponding consequences for nature, all caring activities and in the international relationship between nations.
