Descrizione

The object of the present research is the analysis of online barter as an emerging practice of resistance. The scope of the work is to highlight the political dimension of consumption and exchange and to determine to which extent barter can be considered a counter-hegemonic practice. To achieve this objective, the paper reconstructs the phenomenology of the practice, defining barter as an exchange of goods and services without the use of money, between two parts involved in a negotiation process. The work develops within a theoretical frame referring to the sociological conflicting approach of Gramsci and Simmel, enhanced by the contribution of the political scientist Chantal Mouffe. The empirical material was collected through non-standard methods, conducting a five-month digital ethnography in three websites dedicated to barter, and 22 biographic interviews with their users.
