Quelques questions sur les communs à partir des quartiers populaires

In recent years, there has been a veritable “explosion” of the theme of the “commons” in both practice and theory, and it has become a central reference point for many areas of political and economic experimentation (anti-globalization and ecology movements, defense of public services, peasant resistance, cooperatives, collective digital experimentation). With a speed that is rare for a new concept, the commons has established itself worldwide as the major political concept of the early 21st century. However, it has many different, sometimes contradictory, meanings. More specifically, this chapter of the book will look at the common(s) from the perspective of working-class neighborhoods.
