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.
