Abstract

This article seeks to understand how a self-organised dynamic can emerge to engage the current transition towards a circular economy. Accompanying-research puts into perspective a collective citizen project of transition towards a circular society (TCS) with the perspectives of actors and theories of self-organising. The analysis of abundant material, in floating attention and inductive manual NVivo coding, demonstrates a self-organising development via individual commitment facing successive needs of cooperation to enact a TCS. The dynamic operates through cooperative work cycles, leading to a TCS project in continuous mutual reflexivity. These results contribute to self-organising theories, particularly mobilising Follettian thinking.
