If however commoning is to become a process that directly challenges the logic of social organization which characterizes contemporary capitalism, then relevant practices are expected to produce emergent forms of an alternative social organization. In such a prospect, conditions of power arrangement and collective choices related to culture are expected to shape commoning since they will directly influence the priorities and the scopes of sharing. Reinventing Community through CommoningĬommoning is usually considered as a form of goods distribution that is based on rules of sharing rather than on practices of individual appropriation or profit oriented transactions.

The matter was laid before the citizen’s of the city, who agreed that it was Elkhorn’s great opportunity, and accordingly a modern building was built, to be turned over to the factory, and becomes eventually the property of Frank Holton & Co.
