Khonsari, Torange (2023) Materiality of common good objects. In: Commons in design. Valiz Publications, Switzerland, pp. 161-181. ISBN 9789493246317' 9789493246300
Literature is abundant about the materiality of 'things' in capitalism (Baudrillard 1968; Miller, 2006) as private good and their impact on public good (Geuss, 2003), but the sphere of the commons and their production outside their connection to the public or the private remains in need of further investigation and knowledge-production. This chapter uses one specific project from the commons organisation the author co-founded entitled Public Works in a neighbourhood in East London (Bow) where she initiated the project in 2014 after being asked to get involved by local residents. Methods in this chapter are framed as forms of common good production and practices within case studies and projects conducted directly by the author. The first method describes a place-based model of the researcher in residence, whilst the second method of practice as verb articulates the production of cultural commons to conceptualise a potential system of common good objects.
