Common Space: The City as Commons: In Common
Autor Associate Professor Stavros Stavrides Cuvânt înainte de Professor Massimo de Angelisen Limba Engleză Paperback – 3 iul 2023
Through a fascinating, global examination of social housing, self-built urban settlements, street trade and art, occupied space, liberated space and graffiti, Stavrides carefully shows how spaces for commoning are created. Moreover, he explores the connections between processes of spatial transformation and the formation of politicised subjects to reveal the hidden emancipatory potential of contemporary, metropolitan life.

Recenzii
How shall we understand the pulse and power of commoning, the subtle force that is constantly shaping the spaces and experiences of modern cities? Stavros Stavrides provides a rich, erudite exploration of this neglected topic and the potential for human emancipation.
A fascinating and path-breaking book, which can inspire activists and theoreticians alike. It enriches the academic bibliography of geography, planning, sociology, cultural studies, social anthropology, political science and more disciplines focusing on the contemporary city.'
Stavrides escapes the Eurocentrism that often predominates in the literature on the urban commons . The book will appeal not only to scholars across many disciplines, but also to activists who seek to engage with the significance of urban space for their political action.'
The Foreword hails Common Space as "the first theoretical book of its kind, the first book to problematise space as commons". And this is precisely where the value of Stavrides' contribution is found.
Common Space is the first of its kind . an in-depth journey into the concept of common space . relevant to students, academics and practitioners alike.
Stavrides was one of the first to open my eyes to the importance of the urban commons. His writings are exciting, a valuable reference for urban activists around the world. He is right: the city is the place where we can and should truly reinvent the commons.
Stavros Stavrides has written a cutting-edge book on the commons and the city. A must read that inspires and challenges conventional thinking. Add it to your toolbox for the reinvention of the city through commoning.
Stavrides provides a wonderful guide to how we can make urban space common. He draws from the history of social housing and the successes of contemporary protest movements to formulate an exciting political project.
The word from Athens is this: the commons is open not exclusionary; it perforates the walls of sovereignty, discipline, security, and their phantasmagoria. From Oaxaca to Nairobi, the ancient assemblies of the egalitarian agora of old rise again. Listen to the word from Athens!
An exceptionally thoughtful study of the process and procedures of commoning, investigating the major ways by which common spaces are created in the contemporary world . [a] remarkable and immensely rewarding text.'
A much-needed breath of fresh air. This is a book for all those interested in moving beyond the politics of enclosure, fear and individualism to a politics of hope, possibility and social inclusion in the contemporary city.
