[ecrea] New issue of ephemera - The commons and their im/possibilities

New ephemera issue: The commons and their im/possibilities
Volume 12, number 4
http://www.ephemeraweb.org/

This issue addresses the question of the (im)possibilities of the
commons within contemporary capitalism. It considers the commons within
a variety of manifestations, including the Open Software movement, Open
Education movement, housing, academia, the arts and art education. The
contributions of this issue discuss specific concerns and tensions
around capitalist exploitation and commodification of practices of
political and creative organizing that go beyond commodification and
logics of strategic exchange. A central question in the contributions
within this issue is how capital moves to absorb and enclose current
commons, social relations and public goods, or otherwise put, how the
commons evolve in relation to certain contradictions within their own
status as non-capital.

Editors: Casper Hoedemaekers, Bernadette Loacker and Michael Pederson
