Carla Ibled@cibled.bsky.social · 3w agoMy new article with @mihjournal.bsky.social is at long last in orbit. It explores how the neoliberal fantasy machine has used space colonisation to wish away the problem of environmental limits and revive the legitimation of private property.

How does rampant #assetisation and variation in #assetmanagement affect social conflicts? Our special issue co-edited with @theobourgeron.bsky.social in New Political Economy proposes a framework to analyse such asset struggles and brings together 7 papers with key empirical studies. 🧵
This is a lovely write-up of a remarkable place. Quietly transgressive in ways that already now feel impossible. Was my dream job to join Perc, so sad to see it go

A eulogy from Will here on what we were able to do at PERC, with a handful of staff, a small budget, a willingness to carry furniture when organising events, a brilliant wider network & some amazing students. It was a very special time and place.

Such sad news! I'm feeling rather emotional reading this... I'm so glad to have been part of the PERC adventure. So many exciting collaborations and events, and more importantly so many friends met along the way... Thanks @will-davies.bsky.social for keeping the light on until the end.

Star Wars: Why the Left Should Protect the Status of Space as Humanity’s Commons
Wealthy countries and corporations are seeking to rewrite international law to undermine the neutrality of space and privatise its land and resources.

One of the many ways the 1970s is a foreign country is how marginal this vision of space was. Common heritage of mankind, site for international cooperation, frontier of research. The fight to make it a “perfect playground for libertarian billionaires” was a long one.

You will not see a more tangible encapsulation of the genocide. A war of utter annihilation waged as a joint enterprise between the Israeli state on the ground and its allies in consistent support. The debt of reparations that the West owes to the Palestinian people at this point is incalculable.
