The new enclosures privatize access to identity, as the old ones privatized land

Evidence

Much early revolutionary activity was funded from Philippe’s deep pockets. It constellated around the Palais-Royal, which the duke turned into a sort of demagogue’s shopping center—Paris’s most volatile public space, crammed with cafés and bookshops, a gathering place for the disaffected. — Hilary Mantel, A Memoir of My Former Self- A Life in…, 109 (#expands, via linked claim)

In particular, when he acquires ownership of land, he also claims woman as property. Formerly he was possessed by the mana, by the earth: now he has a soul, property; freed from Woman, he now lays claim to a woman and a posterity of his own. He wants the family labor he uses for the benefit of his fields to be totally his, and for this to happen, the workers must belong to him: he subjugates his wife and his children. He must have heirs who will extend his life on earth because he bequeaths them his possessions, and who will give him in turn, beyond the tomb, the necessary honors for the repose of his soul. The cult of the domestic gods is superimposed on the constitution of private property, and the function of heirs is both economic and mystical. — Simone de Beauvoir, The Second Sex, 167 (#responds-to, via linked claim)
