A series of discussions with international specialists who think the world through the prism of property. We will explore this multi-faceted concept with a loose temporality, through the ownership of body and mind, our rights and the idea of collective property.
In 2022, how to conceptualize property ? Can we move away from a solely Western vision ? What can we learn from the vision of traditional societies in Africa, the Americas, Asia and Oceania ? How was it historically understood in China, India or Japan ? And how is it understood today in the Anglo-Saxon world, where property ownership, as in the Middle Ages, is often divided between ownership of the land and ownership of the house or building (leasehold/freehold) ?
Is the cycle of property rights we are in still expanding, or is it coming to an end ? With the sharing economy, are we replacing the principle of exclusive exploitation by that of shared use ? Will the commons model become dominant ?
