In a world of finite resources, expanding populations and widening
structural inequalities, the ownership of things is increasingly
contested. Not only are the commons being rapidly enclosed and
privatized, but the very idea of what can be owned is expanding,
generating conflicts over the ownership of resources, ideas,
culture, people, and even parts of people. Understanding processes
of ownership and appropriation is not only central to
anthropological theorizing but also has major practical
applications, for policy, legislative development and conflict
resolution.Ownership and Appropriation significantly extends
anthropology's long-term concern with property by focusing on
everyday notions and acts of owning and appropriating. The chapters
document the relationship between ownership, subjectivities and
personhood; they demonstrate the critical consequences of
materiality and immateriality on what is owned; and they examine
the social relations of property. By approaching ownership as
social communication and negotiation, the text points to a more
dynamic and processual understanding of property, ownership and
appropriation.
