Its premise is that capitalism, as we experience it today, is incapable of solving key societal challenges – centred on social justice and sustainable livelihoods. By rethinking land, capital and labour relationships, postcapitalism offers glimpses of alternative modes of socio-economic organisation, achievable through local pre-figurative actions today and scalable through structural supports in the future. The glimpses of hopeful futures offered in this collection focus on rural places, communities and economies.</p> <p><strong>1 The postcapitalist countryside</strong><br /> Nick Gallent, Andrew Purves, Menelaos Gkartzios and Mark Scott</p> <p><strong>Part I: Private land enclosure and public commoning</strong></p> <p>2 Land and rent in capitalist production<br /> Andrew Purves, Nick Gallent, Menelaos Gkartzios and Mark Scott<br /> 3 From enclosure to commoning<br /> Andre Pusey<br /> 4 Postcapitalist trajectories, beyond land<br /> Menelaos Gkartzios</p> <p><strong>Part II: Commoning processes and experiences</strong></p> <p>5 Postcapitalist struggles and the ‘gift of land’<br /> Franklin Obeng-Odoom<br /> 6 Experimental food commons in capitalist heartlands<br /> Adam Calo<br /> 7 Making a postcapitalist countryside?

<p>Bala, M., Singh, S.<br /> When elephants fight back: Animal standpoint reading of Nirmal Ghosh’s Novella River Storm (2024) <em>Short Fiction in Theory and Practice</em>, 14 (1), pp. 9-25. Cited 1 time.</p> <p>DOI: <a href="https://dx.doi.org/10.1386/fict_00093_1" target="_blank">10.1386/fict_00093_1</a></p> <p><strong>Abstract</strong><br /> Drawing inspiration from Geoffrey Whitehall’s article titled ‘“When they fight back”: A cinematic archive of animal resistance and world wars’, this article seeks to explore the exploitation and resistance of elephants by examining the power dynamics between humans and elephants in Nirmal Ghosh’s novella <em>River Storm</em> (2022). This study undertakes an animal standpoint reading to recognize the subjective experiences of elephants, questioning the dominance of humans over them. Furthermore, it employs Foucault’s concept of power to challenge the prevailing narrative of absolute control over animals. By highlighting various instances of elephants fighting back, the article aims to subvert the discourse of complete human domination of animals. © 2024 Intellect Ltd Article.</p> <p>Author Keywords<br /> animal abuse; animal agency; animal conflict; animal resistance; animal-centred criticism; confinement; Foucault; human; power; vulnerability</p>

Maya Krishnan, (2025) “Over-intelligibility”, Political Philosophy 2(2). doi: https://doi.org/10.16995/pp.24931 Abstract Contemporary philosophers have argued that framing new concepts can bring about both moral and epistemic progress. In this paper, I argue that such intelligibility also has downsides.
