Subject: Beyond the Commons Update


Hello,

Just a note to let you know that the Beyond the Commons
site has been updated.

http://www.beyondthecommons.com 

"Enclosure has been variously understood in opposition to the commons, common right, or common property. 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
