RESUMO Com a publicação de Bem-estar comum, escrito por Michael Hardt e Antonio Negri (2016), de O comum: ensaio sobre a revolução no século XXI, de Christian Laval e Pierre Dardot (2017), e de Calibã e a bruxa, de Silvia Federici, o tema do comum (procomún em espanhol, commons em inglês) voltou a ganhar a atenção de pesquisadores das ciências humanas e sociais no Brasil. Neste artigo, retomamos um esforço realizado por Sergio Amadeu da Silveira em 2007, quando publicou o artigo “O conceito de commons na cibercultura”, e realizamos um percurso por autores que trabalham com o conceito de comum, contribuindo para descrever e localizar parte da bibliografia disponível sobre o tema, sendo grande parcela ainda indisponível em português. No artigo, tratamos da obra de autores como Garrett Hardin, Elinor Ostrom, David Bollier, Laval e Dardot, Hardt e Negri, Silvia Federici, Michel Bauwens, Silke Helfrich, Imre Simon, Miguel Said Vieira, Joan Subirats e César Rendueles, Yochai Benkler, Rafael Zanatta e Ugo Mattei, entre outros.Palavras-chave: Comum; Bens Comuns: Neoliberalismo; Ciências Humanas e Sociais: Teoria Contemporânea.

Agamben describes his posture as a reader as one of seeking a text’s Entwicklungsfähigkeit, or capacity for elaboration.1 In examining Agamben’s practices of reading, we can attend to the opposite phenomenon: the counter-elaboration that a text, in having being read by the philosopher, performs upon Agamben’s own thought. This reciprocal elaboration might constitute a paradigm for Agamben’s use of reading, according to his own idiosyncratic definition of use as an event in the middle voice, in which (according to a definition of Benveniste) the subject ‘effects an action only in affecting itself (il effectue en s’affectant)’ (UB 28). With this definition in mind, we could say that Agamben effects a text (he writes) only to the extent that he is also affected by another text (he reads). This is why Agamben’s position as a reader proves particularly important to any assessment of his work, quite aside from the problem of influence or intellectual genealogy. For this same reason, however, assessing Agamben’s relation to Antonio Negri – a figure with whom, by most measures, he is at odds – poses an unexpected challenge: how can Agamben’s thought be a use of Negri? Answering this question means not only assessing the critical distance between the two thinkers, but also taking this distance as a measure, in the Spinozan sense, of mutual affection.

Garrett Hardin

We fail to mandate economic sanity, writes Garrett Hardin, "because our brains are addled by...compassion." With such startling assertions, Hardin has cut a swathe through the field of ecology for decades, winning a reputation as a fearless and original thinker. A prominent biologist, ecological philosopher, and keen student of human population control, Hardin now offers the finest summation of his work to date, with an eloquent argument for accepting the limits of the earth's resources--and the hard choices we must make to live within them. In Living Within Limits, Hardin focuses on the neglected problem of overpopulation, making a forceful case for dramatically changing the way we live in and manage our world. Our world itself, he writes, is in the dilemma of the lifeboat: it can only hold a certain number of people before it sinks--not everyone can be saved. The old idea of progress and limitless growth misses the point that the earth (and each part of it) has a limited carrying capacity; sentimentality should not cloud our ability to take necessary steps to limit population. But Hardin refutes the notion that goodwill and voluntary restraints will be enough. Instead, nations where population is growing must suffer the consequences alone. Too often, he writes, we operate on the faulty principle of shared costs matched with private profits. In Hardin's famous essay, "The Tragedy of the Commons," he showed how a village common pasture suffers from overgrazing because each villager puts as many cattle on it as possible--since the costs of grazing are shared by everyone, but the profits go to the individual. The metaphor applies to global ecology, he argues, making a powerful case for closed borders and an end to immigration from poor nations to rich ones. "The production of human beings is the result of very localized human actions; corrective action must be local....Globalizing the 'population problem' would only ensure that it would never be solved." Hardin does not shrink from the startling implications of his argument, as he criticizes the shipment of food to overpopulated regions and asserts that coercion in population control is inevitable. But he also proposes a free flow of information across boundaries, to allow each state to help itself. "The time-honored practice of pollute and move on is no longer acceptable," Hardin tells us. We now fill the globe, and we have no where else to go. In this powerful book, one of our leading ecological philosophers points out the hard choices we must make--and the solutions we have been afraid to consider.

Resenha do Livro Empire, de Michael Hardt e Antonio Negri


Author(s):  
Carlos Augusto Peixoto Junior

O presente artigo tem como objetivo retratar a atualidade do conceito de sociedade do espetáculo tal como formulado por Guy Debord, buscando avaliar algumas de suas repercussões junto ao pensamento filosófico- político contemporâneo. Neste sentido, consideramos inicialmente a concepção de sociedade de controle tal como proposta por GUIes Deleuze, para em seguida investigarmos suas conexões com as concepções de Império e Multidão tal como propostos por Antonio Negri e Michael Hardt. Por último, discutimos os pontos de vista de Giorgio Agamben sobre o espetáculo contemporâneo e suas repercussões no que diz respeito à singularidade dos processos de subjetivação. Com esse percurso nos propomos também a avaliar as possibilidades de resistência aos usos da mídia por parte do poder dominante.
