Intertwined with colonialism, racism and sexism, concepts of property have found an echo in piracy and “postcolonial copyright.” At the level of theory, a crossing out and a reversal of time are required to undo property-related violence and its mind­sets. At the level of artistic practice new modes of appropriation become imaginable. And while the commons will not be restored, multiple modes of having and commoning are possible.</p> meson press 01 meson press 04 01 20251027 02 WORLD 06 15 9783957960689 06 15 9783957960696 WORLD 09 meson press 20 01
