“…Central to commoning is the collective labour that is essential to create something as a material resource (Linebaugh, 2014). The Kolis of Trombay Koliwada have produced their fishing commons over many years of customary use; all fishing villages have commonly known spatial boundaries demarcating their fishing commons from other villages, both on land and in the sea.…”

“…These commons have community-sanctioned rules of access, territory, usage and dispute resolution, calibrated across time and space (among Koliwadas within the Thane creek system, where Trombay Koliwada is located). These unwritten rules and spatial boundaries are dependent on custom, memory and oral transmission for their continuation (Linebaugh, 2014). They are, therefore, commonly known to all within the Koliwadas but are invisible to state institutions and the outside world (Kumar et al, 2014).…”

Commoning the Established Order of Property: Reclaiming Fishing Commons in Mumbai

This article narrates how a fisherfolk community comprising original inhabitants of Mumbai has been spatially squeezed and choked by surrounding urban developments, compelling them to turn away from their customary livelihoods and ways of living. The community resists this through a political project of indigenous reclaiming. The project is material in nature—focused on reclaiming alienated lands—but also imaginative—reasserting a newly imagined, albeit contested, identity as a fishing community founded on repurposing its fishing commons and reconfiguring the dominant notion of property as private. Using the lens of boundaries allows us to understand the closures and opportunities presented by these complex urban transformations. Overall, the fishers’ reclamation is directed at redefining, contesting, blurring and ‘commoning’ the established ordering boundary of private property that erases their customary claims—their remembered boundary spans not just the village settlement but also the land–sea commons—and is seen as unjust.

“…This strategy has manifested in the Israeli border-enclosures regime, which involves the deployment of a diffuse border network across the Palestinian West Bank in furtherance of a multi-layered enclosures program of territorial annexation, economic degradation, political disempowerment, and social fragmentation (for more on the multiple dimensions of enclosures, see e.g. Bhandar, 2018;De Angelis, 2007;Federici, 2004;Fields, 2017;Gordon, 2018;Jeffrey et al, 2012;Linebaugh, 2014;Woods, 2009). The goal of im/mobilization through the border-enclosures regime is to advance Israeli settler colonialism, or the maximal annexation of Palestinian territory and a negation of Palestinian peoplehood.…”

Transcending enclosures by bus: Public transit protests, frame mobility, and the many facets of colonial occupation

In this article, I investigate three public transit-centered Palestinian political actions in the West Bank and argue that the activists’ framing choices facilitate particular forms of global solidarity. The bus-centered political actions I examine are the Palestinian Freedom Rides of 2011, the Freedom Bus of 2014, and the bus sabotage of 2013. I demonstrate that the activists and participants in each of these cases dexterously move among a collection of terminological frames, invoking racial segregation, racism, and apartheid alongside occupation and colonialism. This rhetorical movement parallels the physical movement that the bus enables and represents. In turn, both forms of movement carry Palestinian political messages beyond the Israeli enclosures in order to connect with diverse solidarity audiences and educate them about Palestinian experiences of im/mobilization.

“…In our theoretical field, we assume that the production of the commons is production based on cooperation, horizontal structures, and independence from the state and the market. The market and the state are hierarchical organizations which create enclosures in collaboration, transforming 'common goods' into 'public goods', and criminalizing some relations and practices (Linebaugh, 2014). A hierarchical organization also means control; the commons grows only in creative freedom.…”

Solidarity, dark solidarity, the commons and the university

Since the late 20th century, the Solidarity breakthrough of the Polish social movement has been a huge political success. Solidarity, as a specific idea, has become not only a social and political power, but also a more profound category of ethical discourse. Therefore, especially in terms of Polish public awareness, solidarity is one of the most popular theoretical notions, which is used in many different social contexts. Divergent political ideologies develop and use the language of solidarity as a tool to create divisions in society. The language of solidarity seems to create additional difficulties because it is used by conservative, neo-liberal and leftist parties. This language does not have its own identity or meaning. Considering the problems involved in the category of solidarity, the authors want to move the debate around this concept onto grounds for discussion about the university and the concept of the commons. Their research is located in the field of the philosophy of education, but they refer their reflections also to some empirical works.
