“…Despite the breadth of Lefebvre's understanding of autogestion, much of the literature on this aspect of his thinking focuses on its relevance for forms of human emancipation such as radical democracy and urban citizenship, particularly through the generalised spatial demands of the 'right to the city' and the 'right to difference' (Butler, 2012;Purcell, 2013). Napoletano et al are to be commended for turning their focus to the crucial connection between autogestion and strategies which resist the technological 'domination of nature' by the state and capital (Lefebvre, 1991: 343; also, see Lefebvre, 2014), and which provide a template for the 'reappropriation of nature, space, and the body' (Napoletano et al, 2023). One question which is obviously beyond the scope of the article, but is of immediate strategic interest, is the extent to which existing institutional structures, such as the legal system, can play a role in mediating the autonomous agency of inhabitants in the praxis of autogestion (Butler, 2009;Huchzermeyer, 2018).…”
