Oxon : Routledge, 2007 vii, 162 p. ; 22 cm. Indeks : p.157 - 162 p.141 - 156 The idea of property carries both extensive symbolic resonance and significant practical implications in contemporary Western societies. This book examines property in a cultural, symbolic and historical framework. The aim of it is to outline the ways in which concepts of property are symbolically and practically connected to social relations of power; to consider and critique the 'objects' of property in changing material contexts; explores challenges to the Western idea of property posed by colonial and post-colonial contexts, such as the disempowerment through property of whole cultures, the justifications for colonial expansion, and biopiracy. These themes are considered in three central chapters dealing with the meanings of property, its history, and philosophical accounts of property. A final chapter considers some alternatif narratives of property and possibilities for its reconstruction.
