Abstract

The propertyscapes whose terrains I have explored in this book serve as origin stories, historical records, that illuminate dominant contemporary alternatives in the politics of the work and play of the mind. I have been arguing that within their models for becoming property, each offers an essential insight into alternatives of constitutive collective political action, relative to the historical affordances of a post-industrial information age, and the lived realities of global space. In trying now to draw some summary conclusions from this analysis I return to the normative thrust of the project, to identify an emancipatory potential within the global politics of the production and ownership of the work and play of the mind.
