Recenzii
Seeing Like a Commons is a worthy addition to the scholarly literature on intentional communities. It focuses on Celo, an 80-year-old, 1,200-acre intentional community located in rural North Carolina.. Lockyer sees Celo as a dynamic, ongoing, and largely successful social experiment. He uses the concept of the community as a commons to explain Celo, defining the commons as both a resource (e.g., land) and as an internal social system for managing the resource by a group that shares values and feelings of community identity. He draws heavily on the work of Elinor Ostrom, discussing Celo's implementation of several of her commons design principles. Lockyer's book has relevance for students across the social sciences who are interested in social change as implemented by a long-standing alternative community. Recommended. General readers through faculty.
Seeing Like a Commons is the definitive study of the famous Celo community founded by Arthur Morgan, the Tennessee Valley Authority chairman. Now, after Celo's first eighty years, Joshua Lockyer's research reveals the processes that make it one of the longest enduring secular communal utopias in America. Lockyer's effective application of the Community Design Principles identified by Nobel Prize winning political economist Elinor Ostrom provide both a practical and theoretical framework for his on-sight ethnographic observations, interviews, and for the book itself. Seeing Like a Commons is the first work to apply Ostrom's commons concept to the field of communal studies. Lockyer's own theory of transformative utopianism and use of the theory of developmental communalism also add to a deeper understanding of Celo's success. Engaging vignettes, with which Lockyer opens chapters, personalize for the reader the inner workings of Celo's governance and resolution of interpersonal conflicts. In all, Seeing Like a Commons is ethnography, history, and communal utopian studies at their best.
Lockyer's study goes into rich detail about the lives of Celo's members and how Celo deals with such perennial community issues as decision-making, rule enforcement, new members, interactions with neighbors, and stewardship of natural resources. Seeing Like a Commons is much more than an ethnography, for Lockyer skillfully contextualizes Celo's goals of creating a more just, resilient, and sustainable world. Lockyer's hope that Celo can show all of us 'a different way of living in the belly of the beast' is sure to be realized in this excellent book.
With rich ethnographical and historical material from Celo, North Carolina, this book illuminates efforts to re-animate heritages of long-term cooperation in contexts dominated by competitive individualism and utilitarian market relations. Drawing on Ostrom's studies of commons that have evolved over millennia among place-based communities managing socio-ecosystems worldwide, Lockyer engages work by Bollier, Escobar, Scott, and Gibson-Graham to elegantly theorize contemporary practices of commoning and community. Lockyer motivates students and scholars to ally with endeavors to reestablish local commoning, arguing that, in a world facing deep socio-environmental crises, such efforts contribute toward sociocultural changes necessary to revive our global commons.
