This book is the first attempt to rethink and appraise the role of
temporary commoning experiences that develop in contexts of crisis.
Activist and urban planner, Angelos Varvarousis, argues that there
is a certain type of commons - the liminal commons - which despite
their often short lives play a crucial function in contemporary
societies; they demarcate and facilitate transitions at the
individual, collective and ultimately the societal level. Through
an intense exploration of grassroots projects such as occupied
squares, self-organised refugee camps, solidarity food structures
and social clinics in crisis-ridden Greece, the author observes
that humans still invent such collectively performed rituals in
order to prepare, symbolize and practically explore the possibility
of transformation and transition. In a period in which traditional
rites of passage have faded away but many changes are urgently
needed, liminal commons can be a key element in the process of
claiming awareness and control over the mechanisms of individual,
collective and societal emancipation.
