<p>31.152.2.142: P2P is a relational dynamic through which peers can freely collaborate to create and sustain shared resources. P2P is much like the commons and its origins lay in computing.</p> <hr /> <div>{{Contribution<br /> |contribution:type=New Concept<br /> |contribution:newconcept=Peer to Peer (P2P)<br /> |contribution:name=Jorge<br /> |contribution:email=jarinasoro@gmail.com<br /> }}<br /> This concept would fall under the category of &quot;Worldviews&quot; and &quot;Praxes&quot;. Peer to Peer (P2P) could be defined as: &quot;a social/relational dynamic through which peers can freely collaborate with each other and create value in the form of shared resources.&quot; (Bauwens et al., 2019). In this sense, P2P is much like the commons in that members of the network contribute to the creation and maintenance of shared resources. Its originated from the P2P computing system in which everyone across the network could do equal inputs into the system. Digital commons like Linux and Wikipedia were indeed created through and inspired by P2P systems. The way of working in these systems can be termed “P2P production” or, as Yokai Benkler coined it, &quot;Commons-based peer production&quot; (Benkler, Y., &amp; Nissenbaum, H., 2006).<br /> An example of a P2P production system would be as follows (Bauwens et al., 2019):<br /> 1. Productive community: Wikipedia itself.<br /> 2. Entrepeneurial coalition: Wikia company (the people &quot;in charge&quot;).<br /> 3. For-benefit association: Wikimedia foundation (a way to earn money as to lay the infrastructure for the common good to be accessible).<br /> This new system of production, in turn, would not be hegemonic and, instead, would co-live with the other methodologies found in this dictionary, following the principles of the pluriverse.<br /> More information on the topic and the full list of participating organizations can be found in the P2P Foundation wiki (link below).<br /> <br /> References:<br /> Bauwens, M., Kostakis, V., &amp; Pazaitis, A.
