Abstract

This paper treats the commons and commoning as transformative practices, since they involve democratic self-organisation for the collective management of resources. Commoning is also treated as an expression of social power and the paper considers the relationship of commoning to Wright’s transformative logics of symbiotic and interstitial strategies. The role of the state is and its capacity to support and promote commoning in interstitial and symbiotic forms is also considered.
