#### Tools for conviviality

**Vernacular capability** is central, in contrast with the administered, professionalised modes of modern state- and corporate- forms of social organisation. Ivan Illich powerfully developed this framing in the 70s, working first with Puerto-Rican communities in New York, then at CIDOC in Mexico. He proposed the development of 'tools for conviviality' - meaning not so much literal, discrete tools (eg digital tools) but rather the *institutional* forms that constitute capability or disability, privilege or literacy: healthcare, city planning, public administration, mandatory public education, etc.

Illich's framing of 'vernacular' capability, literacy and power can be set in a wider context, of historical, emerging, **radical roots capabilities**, paralleled and layered, continuing. The slide below is a crude listing of emergent modes of resistance in the field of culture (aka labour power), in contexts of capital, digital regimes and colonial/anthopocene exploitation, extinction, epistemicide and emclosure.

A practice of formación will systematically mobilise these layered and paralleled and still-emergent modes of organisation, in a pluriverse of capability and insight. A dance of knowing.
