Rethinking Marxism 22-3: Special Issue on the Common and the Forms of the Commune (2010)

“Operating within and beyond each of the offerings contained in the pages [of this special issue] is a profound play on precisely the question posed: What is the operative notion of the common today? Even the singularity of that question’s basic assumption is challenged by the scope of these inquiries for, indeed, a paradox begins to emerge when we consider them as a collection, one might even say as a common production of knowledge: recognition that the very foundation of a concept of the common—its particularity—may well be articulated in a multiplicity of ways. That is to say, can postmodernity—or whatever we wish to designate our present condition—tolerate a single “operative notion” of the common, or does it rather demand a constellation of understandings that contribute simultaneously to our experience of the common and to its neoliberal other, the promotion of individuation?” (from Introduction)
