Enclosure Past and Present views history as comprised of three major periods of enclosure: the creation of patriarchy, the enclosure of the commons, and neoliberalism.
Renee Gerlich shows how taking this very broad, stylised view of history illuminates the trajectory humanity has been on for centuries, and puts the madness of today's world into a much clearer context. We make wiser choices about how to respond to the challenges we are facing when we can account for their depth, nature and historic roots.
Enclosure Past and Present is the (slightly amended) text of a talk given in Brisbane, in August, 2024, with the support of the International Women's Day Committee.
