This book moves beyond seeing the commons in the past tense, an
entity passed over from the public into the private, to reimagine
the commons as a process, a contest of force, a reconstitution, and
a site of convening practices. It highlights new spaces of
gathering opening up, such as the digital commons, and new
practices of being in common, such as community economies and
solidarity networks. The commons is seen as a contested domain of
the collective and as a changing way of being in common, with the
balance poised in the tensile play between political economy and
social innovation. The book focuses on the possibility of
recovering a future in which more can be held by the many, focusing
on three concepts: nation and nature as a commons, publics and
rights, and bodies, concerning the management of lives and
livelihoods. Across these three passage points, the book finds
evidence of a commons under attack but also defended in fragile
though promising ways. With contributions from leading scholars,
this thought provoking book will be of great interest to students
and scholars in geography, environmental studies, politics,
anthropology, and cultural studies.
