Across the globe, political movements opposing privatisation,
enclosures, and other spatial controls are coalescing towards the
idea of the 'commons'. As a result, struggles over the commons and
common life are now coming to the forefront of both political
activism and scholarly enquiry. This book advances academic debates
concerning the spatialities of the commons and draws out the
diverse materialities, temporalities, and experiences of practices
of commoning. Part one, "Materialising the Commons" focuses on the
performance of new geographical imaginations in spatial and
material practices of commoning. Part two, "Spaces of Commoning",
explores the importance of the turn from 'commons' to 'commoning',
bringing together chapters focusing on the "doing" of commons, and
how spaces, materials, bodies and abstract flows are intertwined in
these complex and excessive processes. Part three, "An Expanded
Commons", explores the broader registers and spaces in which the
concept of the commons is at stake and highlights how and where the
commons can open new areas of action and research. Part four, "The
Capture of the Commons", questions the particular interdependence
of 'the commons' and 'enclosure' assumed within commons literature
framed by the concept of neoliberalism. Providing a comprehensive
introduction to the diverse ways in which ideas of the commons are
being conceptualised and enacted both throughout the social
sciences and in practical action, this book foregrounds the commons
as an arena for political thought and sets an agenda for future
research.
