The concept of the cultural commons has become increasingly
important for legal studies. Within this field, however, it is a
contested concept: at once presented as a sphere for creativity,
democratic access and freedom of speech, but one that denies
property rights and misappropriates the public domain. In this
book, Merima Bruncevic takes up the cultural commons not merely as
an abstract notion, but in its connection to physical spaces such
as museums and libraries. A legal cultural commons can, she argues,
be envisioned as a lawscape that can quite literally be entered and
engaged with. Focusing largely on art in the context of the
copyright regime, but also addressing a number of cultural heritage
issues, the book draws on the work of Deleuze and Guattari in order
to examine the realm of the commons as a potential space for
overcoming the dichotomy between the owner and the consumer of
culture. Challenging this dichotomy, it is the productive and
creative potential of law itself that is elicited through the
book's approach to the commons as the empirical basis for a new
legal framework, which is able to accommodate a multitude of
interests and values.
