my issues with the commons
i have a problem with the conceptual and ="trms">material ="trms">apparatus called ‘resource’ that the commons takes un="trms">interrogated. (and there is no way out of it because commons must take ‘a’ de="trms">finition of resource for granted='lgc'>--and that makes it too easy to deconstruct). and it is too embedded within a political framework and ="trms">vocabulary. and political is the most difficult syntax to start with, which won't allow it to access other ="trms">literacies.
in this way the commons alone cannot properly address issues such as pollution, extinction, human-="trms">animal problems, ="trms">rhetoric, in="trms">heritance, logic, alienation, and so on, that need multidisciplinary thinking.
