Abstract

What are the contours of such "knowledge" that does double duty both as a public good or commons and as a source of individual empowerment and liberty? This article offers an analysis of the epistemological organisation of the "knowledge economy" by shooting ethnographic work on Free Software through a playful trompe l'oeil of Roy Wagner‘s classic piece on Daribi kinship. It offers a preliminary template for thinking of Euro-American knowledge as itself a trompe l‘oeil device.
