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> 20 00 Open Access meson press 01 meson press Lüneburg 04 01 20251027 13 15 9783957960689 09 meson press 29 Publisher's website: download the title https://meson.press/wp-content/uploads/2025/09/978-3-95796-069-6-Bergermann.pdf 99 01 09 meson press 02 Publisher's website: web shop https://meson.press/books/property/ 99 01
