Description
Commonism: A New Aesthetics of the Real by Nico Dockx and Pascal Gielen explores the concept of the commons in society. After decades of neoliberalism, leftist thinkers are increasingly interested in sharing resources in common. This book maps these new ideas through reflections from artists, architects, activists, and theorists. The authors examine how the commons shape our reality and how they can be constituted in society. By bringing together diverse perspectives, Commonism offers a nuanced understanding of this emerging ideology. The book features contributions from renowned thinkers and creatives, providing a unique insight into the possibilities and potential of commonism. Through its exploration of the commons, Commonism aims to rethink our relationship with resources and challenge traditional notions of ownership and control. This thought-provoking book is an essential read for anyone interested in art, politics, and social theory.
