Sylvia Fredriksson et al., « Écrire les communs. Au-devant de l’irréversible », Sens public, ID : 10.7202/1067421ar
Appearing all over the world, the commons are an invitation to never conceive of the political history of society, technology and the environment as a linear process. Where the myth of progress echoes irreversibility, the commons oppose the strong grip of the real in order to build, transmit, and coexist according to trajectories and alternative narratives. The coexistence of these narratives opens spaces where status and the role of writing are called into question. The authors offer to make room for these writing experiences, and to grasp their multiple diffractions. On the one hand, they will reveal how writing transforms and diversifies the commons’ action repertoire, their very definition, and the identity of those that take part. And, on the other hand, they potentiate this space by reinvigorating and hybridizing ideas and acts. In other terms, to “anticipate the irreversible.”
