Abstract (eng)
This thesis seeks to understand the role of enclosure in contemporary capitalist accumulation. Drawing on the history of commons and enclosure, this thesis puts forwards an understanding of the city as common—a socially produced collective resource—which has become a target for capitalist accumulation in a biopolitical regime of accumulation in which life and experience are a source of profit. Through the lens of enclosure, this thesis seeks to understand the technologies of control and dispossession which contemporary, biopolitical capitalism deploys to gain access to the city and extract profit from everyday urban life; and to understand the results of such practices on urbanity.
