Description
While policy and legal frameworks are often seen as the primary means of legitimising the commons, many forms of commoning persist beyond, alongside, or in spite of formal institutional support. This session focuses on how legitimacy is produced through political struggle, cultural narratives, care practices, and long-term municipal engagement. It reflects on how commons-based practices endure in contexts shaped by contemporary forms of migration, inequality, and political polarisation.
Markus Miessen and César Reyes Nájera will give the frame the event, talking about the legitimacy of non normative spatial practices of the commons as a contested and ongoing process that exceeds legal recognition.
