The Colloquium-INCIPIT “The Return of the Commons: Limits and Challenges” will take place on Thursday, February 19 at 7:00 p.m. at the Museo das Peregrinacións. In this session, César Rendueles and David Barreiro will examine the relevance of common goods in contemporary society, tracing their theoretical foundations and exploring three moments of political resurgence: free knowledge initiatives, anti-austerity movements, and political ecology. The discussion will focus on the limits and challenges of the commons today.

César Rendueles (1975) is a tenured researcher at the Institute of Philosophy, CSIC, and has taught Sociology at the Complutense University of Madrid and Carlos III University. His publications include Sociofobia (2013), Capitalismo canalla (2015), En bruto (2016), Contra la igualdad de oportunidades (2020), Comuntopía (2024), and A la sombra de Marx (2025).
