"Equality Without Equivalence: an anthropology of the common", by Harry Walker http://www.lse.ac.uk/newsAndMedia/videoAndAudio/channels/publicLecturesAndEv... What would individualism and equality look like if detached from their
foundations in a logic of equivalence?
He suggests that the "problem" is not individualism, but rather equivalence -- the equivalence between commodities, central to capitalism, but also the equivalence between people that is implied in western notions of egalitarianism and justice. Although his approach to commons is rooted in Peruvian-Amazonian ethnographic fieldwork, it is quite related to Negri's. Abraços from Brazil.
