Mixing the Commons and Open Culture: Soup or Salad?

Submitted by brad on Fri, 08/08/2008 - 01:08

Over the last year, as I've mulled over various thesis topics, I've often returned to two imprecise concepts, "commons-based approaches" and "open culture", which I am now faced with sorting through in order to focus my research. In particular, now that I'm locking into "open culture" as my central topic, I need to decide whether to incorporate "the commons" or discard it altogether.
