reading your comments after my previous article I kept thinking about the BookCrossing .
As I explained, I think the only offers bookcrossing not so much a gift as the extension of the property to a circle more or less distant.
Following this article, Sylvie F. proposed instead the idea that books sent in nature were like a bottle thrown into the sea, hoping that someone gets. Clearly, if I understand it, the goal is not so much the fact that the gift to feel connected to each other through sharing.
I had the opportunity to continue my discussion with my friend Benjamin him of the idea of extending property. We drifted on one of our favorite discussions: the notion of ownership of cultural property (cd, books, films, etc. ...).
We were talking and then he explained the case of one of his friends who had to leave his books.
He had several options:
- give them, but that would be interested?
- resell: it requires complex logistics and time-consuming and energy (customer relationship, sending, tracking, etc ...)
- burn: it is not really obvious ...
can be added to this list:
- discard or recycle, but sometimes you have no desire to Nor will we say it's a shame.
Great sharers in the soul, being used heavily to share music recommendations and pictures, they came to the conclusion that the best solution was still a choice. Ie move the object, to let him free once "consumed".
To give a concrete example, imagine that you have books you reread unlikely but want to share them. So you find yourself face to the assumptions mentioned above. The idea then is to offer these books to those who come to visit you for example.
However, this is not necessarily obvious to say: "Oh by the way, if you want I have some old books there, I do not want to. If it tell you ...". And there you stretch your accusing finger towards the stack of books that takes the dust in a corner of the room. It's a bit derogatory - and a bit exaggerated, as an example. Although ...
Instead, we apply the rules of the "fabulous system of green dots (FSPV for friends)!
Ah? Want but what's that "wonderful system? Well it's simple: on each object you do not want, you attach a green dot. Then when someone comes to you, it can take a very natural way the object becomes the property. No need to ask yourself help!
It may then decide to keep the subject ad vitam æternam if he sings or leave the green sticker. It works for books, DeVeDe, the sold, the pressure cookers, t-shirts. In short, basically everything you want to share.
Benjamin went even further: imagine the street, a person walks around with a vest who proudly the green dot. Hop, if you wish, you take the jacket - I'm already imagining the kind of funny situations that might provoke.
much for the FSPV. Basically, like the Bottle Sylvie, objects can travel once "liberated" and thus appropriate and enter into the sphere completely selfless sharing. Except that unlike Bookcrossing , we drop the idea of "GPS" (imagine, moreover, the disastrous impact of bookcrossing under Nixon ...).
Benjamin has suggested creating a small site to offer the System fabulous green pellets. I think I'll try it in "beta mode" with me.
And you what do you think?
