Polluted Transformations of Fluid Commons in Bangladesh: Shipbreaking and 'Enclosure by Contamination'.
This article examines the compound dispossessions experienced by Zele fishermen in a wetlands ecology materially transformed by pollution. 'Enclosure by contamination' conceptualizes how capitalist activities can change the biophysical properties of commons with dispossessive effects on human and mo...

'Enclosure by contamination' conceptualizes how capitalist activities can change the biophysical properties of commons with dispossessive effects on human and more-than-human health and abilities to sustain life, far beyond sites of extraction. By historicizing enclosures in Bengal, I suggest that the term khas (public, state-owned) can be used to expand the usage of 'commons' beyond community-based natural resource management. Second, I show how the movement of toxic residues through 'fluid commons' changes the very material qualities and affordances of these entangled soaking ecologies. Lastly, I argue that specific ecological characteristics of fluid commons enable evasion of liability and must be addressed in efforts to make ship recycling 'green'. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: Article src: R language: English refInfo: copyright: @attributes: flag: N holdings: @attributes: islocal: N |
