AS USUAL, DIANNE ROCHELEAU HAS WRITTEN A provocative piece that makes one sit up smartly and think. I, for one, enjoy her foray into a possible new narrative about the commons and find it stimulating and not — Heaven forbid! — "cute." I fully agree that the now conventional term "common property" too often is taken to imply an undifferentiated "community" as the owner of property, and too often allows those with influence and authority within a purported community to claim disproportionate benefits from a commons and/or to convert it into a more privatized form. The empirical realities and the analytical conundrums Rocheleau deploys under the headings of text, context, subtext I recognize and agree are central. But I am not convinced that the language of narrative (text, context, subtext) really helps.
