- Description
- This article combines theoretical exploration with empirical analysis to critically engage with the pluriversal theory-discourse. The first part introduces the concept of ‘compartmentality,’ suggesting that internalized ontologies of modernism, colonialism, and capitalism likely disrupt societal interconnectedness within the ‘actually existing pluriverse,’ weakening its transformative capacity. By constructing and operationalizing the notion of ‘commonist tendency’ as a counteracting impulse, it sets the conceptual stage for an empirical examination of potential pathologies and their theoretical implications. A novel methodological framework is outlined to explore the Australian pluriverse as a case study. The second part applies quantitative analysis to secondary data from a nationwide meta-mapping survey to evaluate the influence of compartmentality among the participant initiatives. The study employs social network analysis and multivariate methods to uncover the social-organizational determinants of the commonist tendency. It also highlights the existing capacities for overcoming divisions while exposing the subtle yet pervasive forces that hinder the pluriverse from realizing its envisioned potential.
