This thesis provides an analysis of the process and practices of enclosure itself ... without taking recourse to the concept of the commons." "Building on theories of critical legal studies, social interactionism, social psychology, and the work of Michel Foucault, it is argued that enclosure can be characterised as a consistency of expectations, that is, a "disposition". The disposition of enc losure is that of a tendency towards the elimination of uncertainty. ..." I have been having a couple of problems with the Bluegrass and Copyright pages, but they are still up there at http://www.beyondthecommons.com/mikeallen.html All the best Anthony McCann --- from list postcolonial-AT-lists.village.virginia.edu ---
