#OpenAccess in The GJ: 'On commons, state institutions and capitalism' by @ioannisrz.bsky.social & @nikoskapitsinis.bsky.social This commentary explores the essential nature of commoning as a practice of collective care within today's political climate. doi.org/10.1111/geoj... #geosky

Screenshot of a commentary abstract in The Geographical Journal by Ioannis Rigkos-Zitthen & Nikos Kapitsinis (2025) entitled 'On commons, state institutions and capitalism' with a blue banner at the top.

Within the contemporary context of multiple and overlapping crises, which critical scholars often call the Anthropocene epoch, commons and commoning have been presented as a promising way to approach and address the emerging problems. Commons are often presented as spaces antithetical to capitalism, governed in a radical democratic fashion. We argue that to deepen our knowledge on how commons contribute to politics of our times, we need to understand both the embodied relations of care within the commons and the ways commons are related to the state. On these grounds and by presenting commons as an empty signifier, we aim to provide a nuanced understanding of commons contribution to politics in the Anthropocene.

New publication out now! Together with @nikoskapitsinis.bsky.social we suggest understanding commons as an empty signifier, a way to highlight the messiness, within commons and co-depence of commons to state institutions and capital. journals.sagepub.com/eprint/GFEGN...
