Becoming a commoner, visions, and social practices shape each other cyclically
Evidence
The Circle of Commoning consists of three internal elements: Subjectivities, Vision, and Social Practices. The framework views its three elements non-hierarchically: it does not prioritise one element as “the backbone of durable commoning efforts” (Nightingale, 2019). Rather, it shows how subject formation (becoming a commoner) affects and is affected by visions and social practices (including property rights and collective practices), and how these go on to influence each other in a cyclical manner in response to changing contexts. — Yael Arbell, The Circle of Commoning, 38
