Il lavoro e le rose: il lusso come pratica comune

Résumé

Beginning with the revolution of the Paris Commune, the article proposes an aesthetic-political reflection on alternative ways of being-together than those proposed by capitalism. To this aim, the relationship between the creative capacity of politics and the aesthetic reconfiguration of the space and time we hold in common is useful in order to consider the possibility of a community emancipated from the slavery of labor and sharing in the luxury it itself produces. Communal luxury can be thought of as a collective practice that aims to constitute a society in which everyone can have the best part for themselves. The construction of collective wealth breaks with the idea of poverty sharing.
