| description | As a form of counter-capitalist political discourse, much of the language associated with the commons relies on the idea of some form of universal/ontological ground a "natural" relationship between people, spaces and resources that has become erased through moves to enclose and to capture by destructive economic and political systems. In these discourses, the drive to enclose can seem impossible to resist. This article proposes a different politics of the common: one that moves away from thinking about commons as that which is lost and which needs mourning, towards practices of commoning that, in many ways in at many different scales, work to produce a feeling of being in common. |
