La postcomunidad de los comunes digitales López Cuenca, Alberto digitization, communities, governance digitalización, comunidad, gobernabilidad This article aims to theoretically characterize the idea of the commons and to point out the reasons for its boom in recent years. Starting from two of its most widespread definitions, the one exposed in Governing the Commons by Elinor Ostrom and the one developed by Peter Linebaugh in Stop Thief! The Commos, Enclosures and Resistance, it argues that the commons refer to the unique assembly of resources, collectivity and ways in which both are governed. From this characterization, the purpose of this article is to underline that the commons in the digital environment pose a challenge to this definition because they do not presuppose the existence of a scarce good or a community defined beforehand. The article concludes that it is the common doing of a heterogeneous plurality that establishes a “post-idetitarian community” united not so much by what it shares but, paradoxically, by what it does not possess. Este artículo pretende caracterizar teóricamente la idea de los comunes y señalar los motivos de su auge en años recientes. Partiendo de dos de sus definiciones más extendidas, la expuesta en Governing the Commons por Elinor Ostrom y la desarrollada por Peter Linebaugh en Stop Thief! The Commos, Enclosures and Resistance, se sostiene que los comunes hacen referencia al singular ensamblaje de recursos, colectividad y formas de gobernanza. A partir de esta caracterización, el objetivo de este artículo es subrayar que los comunes en el entorno digital plantean un reto a dicha definición pues no presuponen la existencia ni de un bien escaso ni de una comunidad definida de antemano. Se concluirá que es el hacer común de una pluralidad heterogénea el que instituye una “comunidad postindetitaria” unida no por lo que comparte sino, paradójicamente, por lo que no posee. 2020-08-14 2021-06-03T03:54:22Z 2021-06-03T03:54:22Z info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion Artículo evaluado por pares http://culturales.uabc.mx/index.php/Culturales/article/view/790 10.22234/recu.20200801.e490 https://hdl.handle.net/20.500.12930/7292 spa http://culturales.uabc.mx/index.php/Culturales/article/view/790/585 http://culturales.uabc.mx/index.php/Culturales/article/view/790/586 Derechos de autor 2020 Alberto López Cuenca application/pdf text/html Universidad Autónoma de Baja California Culturales; Vol. 8 (2020): Continuous Publication; 1-29 Culturales; Vol. 8 (2020): Publicación Continua; 1-29 2448-539X 1870-1191
