Abstract

Nowadays, a transition to a circular economy is being considered facing the assessment of the threatened or exceeded limits of our planet. This article seeks to understand how a self-organized dynamic can emerge to engage it. Accompanying research puts into perspective a collective citizen project of transition towards a circular society (TVSC) with the perspectives of actors, researchers and theories of self-organization. The analysis of an abundant material, in floating attention and manual inductive NVivo coding, shows an emergence through individual commitment facing successive needs for cooperation. The dynamic operates through cooperative work cycles flowed by the diversity of actors, collectively appropriating the contributions, challenges and perspectives. It materializes through a TVSC project, transforming the situation from which it emerges and overcoming its brakes through continuous mutual reflexivity. These results illustrate and extend the Follettian theory to study TVSC and then respond to the limitations of neighboring theories of self-organization.
