The March issue of Texte zur Kunst on “Property/Eigentum” takes as its starting point the observation that liberal ideas of subjectivity are closely bound up with the concept of property. moreHow can these propertied-individualist ideas be broken up when subjectivity is thought of as originating in expropriation? It is a question that is of particular urgency at a time when lived alternatives to the dominant property relations have become rare.
