Reterritorialisation process through commoning in the context of the Capitalocene
In this article, we aim to highlight the importance of practices of commoning as a way to rethink politics, particularly in the context of the Capitalocene. Specifically, we argue for greater attention to the spatial dimension of commons by emphasising the collective practices of commoning. We suggest that commoning can offer a promising way to approach the existential crises we face through a process of reterritorialisation. This approach highlights the importance of space for cultivating collective values, ways of seeing, being, and acting in solidarity and care, challenging the capitalocentric logic that spatially dominates our times.
